in search of............gorgeous round brilliant

[windowshopper]

hi all...............my EC upgrade is not going ver well as there is nothing worth having out there --yet......... so i am toying with a new stone: (keeping my EC) either a round brilliant of roughy 2.5 to 3. plus or a square cushion. my budget would be about $30 to 40. any good hunters see anything good lately? it would be a bezel set very antique-y mounting so the color is not mega important

so the angles of this one are pretty likely to make for a gorgeous diamond?

oh my lord...

that must be new or else i would have jumped on it when we were at WF. oh Greg you don't mind if we spend just a LITTLE more??

DAMN and now it's too late.

Oh, WS.....I''d take a cushion over an RB any day! RBs are so...well...predictable!

I gather you''re not an antique freak? If I were looking for an antiquy looking honker, I''d head over to Singlestone or Nelsons''s Rarities and look for the "real thing"!!!

(Just my opinion, of course....

That stone looks like it''s a winner. WS if you ok with the J color, I think it would be fabulous

Yowzers, that is an amazing stone. Perfection.

There is a nice 3 carat Ideal RB F VS2 on BN, looks nice but may be more than what you want to spend. I can''t give a link, but saw it earlier today.

I think that could be gorgeous, would you make it a rhr? What about doing one of those gorgeous antique type settings? I love your current ring so I am happy for you if you can keep it!

hi DF! yes I have a photo I will try to post of a rose cut set in a bezel and then haloed with positively teeny rounds

 

[diamondfan]

Mara

OMG, WS if you don''t snap that WF stone up soon, someone else will!!! VERY soon!!!

I echo Widget''s suggestion, check out http://www.singlestone.com. Some gorgeous honkers there. I think there''s a 1920''s 4-carat H cushion ring available, as well as some lower color honkers above 3.5 carats.
