Unfortunately my camera isn''t working right now so I can''t post pictures, but I upgraded my pendant diamond from a 0.435 carat to a 0.735 carat diamond. The difference is amazing! I also went from a WF Expert Selection to an ACA, and I can really tell the difference in the sparkle between the two stones. Here''s the link to the stone:

I never thought I would buy an I colored diamond, but as color sensitive as I am, this stone doesn''t look the least bit yellow to me. It''s also completely eyeclean, and honestly I have trouble seeing the inclusions with the loupe.
 
WOW!!!! Coda that is one amazing diamond you found there!!!

Beautiful stone! Hope you get some pics soon.
 
Coda72- The diamond looks beautiful and what an upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Lorelei, Ellen, and UCLABelle. I am very happy with this diamond, and I probably won''t be upgrading again for a long time!

What a terrific diamond you found Coda! How did you have the pendant set? I am looking forward to seeing pictures!!!
 
Thanks, Sundial! I have it in a 3 prong martini setting just like my other diamond was in.
 
yum! can''t wait to see pictures coda!! congrats.
 
Thanks, Mara. I hope to upgrade my digital camera soon also, so I can get some decent pics of it.
 
What a great find - congrats!!! Can''t wait to see the pix!!
 
HI:

Sweeeet! Perfect size!

cheers--Sharon
 
Congrats, Coda...I can''t wait to see some "real life" shots, esp. neck ones, lol! Wear it in good health, nonetheless!
 
That is beautiful! Congrats!

I know what you mean about a big difference. I just traded up my .56 J for a .75 J in my solitaire pendant, and it''s VERY noticeable! LOL
 
Lovely diamond, I can''t wait to see the pictures!! congrats on your upgrade!
 
Was your other stone a WF stone that you traded in? Just curious. I''m starting to think about a pendant. It''s going to require alot of looking and thinking.
 
What a jump in size...I bet you''re bowled over by the difference! I can''t wait to see this bigger beauty!!!
 
gotta love those ACA''s

Coda, you must not have any problems with your diamond dropping downward
in your Martini setting - ? I just had my stone set in a Martini and it drops forward a bit,
so I''ll be resetting it.

Get us pictures when you can!
 
Just checking in for pics. Congrats on your upgrade and I''ll be looking forward to pics.

Congrats!! Can''t wait for pics!
 
EXCITING!!!!
 
Beautiful!
 
Thank you Rock Candy, Sharon, Monarch, Aljdewey, Kcoursoulle.

Stone Hunter-it is a WF stone that I traded. I liked it a lot, but I think the new stone has more fire than the one I had.

Thanks, Firegoddess I hope I can get some pics soon. I got my old camera working, so I''ll probably just use that. I''ve spent too much money to upgrade my camera right now!

Ann, at the same time I traded in my diamond I went from a 16 inch chain to an 18 inch chain. I found that the diamond did flip a bit with the 16 inch chain, and I personally don''t like a chain too short because it feels like it''s choking me. With the 18 inch chain it hangs down quite a bit lower and doesn''t flip. I was originially going to just put my current diamond on an 18 inch chain, but I figured if I was going to the trouble to send it back to Whiteflash, I may as well upgrade the stone also.

Thanks Shay, Michelle, Skippy, and Tacori!
