I would get this 8.88 ct. round but........

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

...it doesn''t have a lifetime trade up policy! LOL!!!

Is that because there is nothing on the planet large enough to trade up to? 13.85 mm--YIKES!

I think I''d still rather have that 5 carat ACA!

But that is HUGE.

Ditto, but then again - 13.85mm is GIANT!

 

[marcy]

Holy Huge Diamond! At least you save about $3000 with the bank wire price.

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

LOL! I wonder if it looks like a frisbee on your hand!

 

[Dee*Jay]

Scoring either a 7.1 or an 8.6 on the HCA (depending on whether you use percentages or angles) I think I gotta pass... but I was tempted there for a moment!

 

[marcy]

We could all email it as a Christmas hint to our loved ones. If you never hear from me again it''s because I did send it to my husband and he didn''t think it was funny.

I don''t know, it says it has "premium optical symmetry". You might not want to drive too close to an airport while flashing it around, the planes might land in a field somewhere!

 

[iluvcarats]

If you got that diamond NEU, you''d have to change your screen name - I think you''d be done!

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

For sure! If I bought that one, I would have to change my username to "Homeless" coz my husband would kick me out!

 

[iluvcarats]

You can come live with me if I get to wear it once in a while!
I know what you mean though. I am thinking of changing my setting yet again and it''s getting to the point where I may not need an ER/WR at all! LOL

Sounds good! Do you think a halo setting would be too much?!? Kidding!

ROFL!

Or they might confuse it with The Mother Ship a la Close Encounters, LOL!

 

[beau13]

WOW..over $100 000?? I''d rather drive a BMW Roadster !!

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

I would love it if Jonathan would make a video of that diamond on a hand. I can''t even fathom the size.

 

[LostSapphire]

It''s lovely but I''ll have to pass: he doesn''t have a matching one for a pair of studs!

[AprilBaby]

I would really really like to see a hand shot to judge the size!

 

[Deelight]

8.88 carats LOL lucky number.

A video would be fantastic, that thing is huge

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

PK, Jonathan, there are at least 3 votes here for a hand video of your 8.88 ct.!!! I'll be happy to be the model.

Well, if you want studs, you could get this 5.12 ct. G/SI1, but it is about $100,000 more than the 8.88. It has a sort-of matching (non-H&A) 5.02 G/SI1 priced at $106,615. This makes the 8.88 a relative bargain, although you would have to "settle" for a ring or pendant. Either way, you most likely won't have to deal with DSS anymore!

You could probably use 1 cts for the halo

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

Too funny. The problem would be that you couldn''t leave the house wearing it because you would be afraid you''d be robbed. That actually happended here in Dallas. A lady wore a $350,000 ring to the grocery store and someone followed her home, walked into her garage as she was getting her baby out of the car, and took the ring. I think a 8.88 ct. with a halo of 1 ct. diamonds would definitely attract the bad kind of attention.

This baby is only 7 carats, but it''s still my dream stone. There are handshots for size comparisons. Beautiful!!! And about $25k cheaper.

 

[Kyle921]

what about this baby!!!

I might have to save for a couple decades.

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

Kyle, thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately I can''t get that because I live in Texas and the sales tax alone would be $53,910.00.

Upgradable, that diamond is one gorgous hunk of carbon.

Come on down NEU and we''ll do a shoot.

I''ll have a clip on its page this coming week and I''ll be sure to include a hand shot.

It is a serious honker of a size and couldn''t help but chuckle when it tipped the scale at 8.88 too.

Oh and the "premium" should be "traditional" too ... I''ll change that tomorrow.
