I am so excited to have my ring back and have this saga coming to a close. Just wanted to post quickly and share some pics for everyone since you all have been SO incredibly helpful throughout. Here is a link to my previous thread:

https://www.pricescope.com/forum/rockytalky/advice-stone-exchange-t174254-90.html

I am really happy with the outcome. I can't believe how much this diamond sparkles compared to what I was used to. It makes such a difference! I went down a color grade and to be honest, I can't tell at all and think it almost looks whiter because of the way it returns light. I will admit, I was hoping for a more noticeable size difference to my eyes but my girlfriend at work did comment "that looks so much bigger!!"

I also think after I live with it a bit, I will get used to having it back on my finger and be totally happy with the size because I can't keep my eyes off of how much it seriously sparkles. My fiance and I couldn't stop staring at it over dinner last night- even as a guy he "got" that this is not what my old diamond looked like.

Specs
2.03 carats
J SI2
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Very good
Symmetry: Excellent
Table: 59%
Depth: 61.8%
Crown Angle: 35%
Pavilion Angle: 41.4%
Culet: None
Flourescence: Medium Blue
Inclusions: Twinning wisps are the grade making inclusions and there is a crystal in the center of the table
Comments: Additional twinning wisps, pinpoints, and surface graining not shown

Another note- I had to change the box on the ring to accomodate the new size diamond and it looks like one of the prongs is a bit wonky. I am considering going back to my jeweler for this but I can only tell in the close up pics so I might just enjoy it for a little while. I can't deal with the stress of it right now!

Here are some pics- unfortunately my fiance didn't remember to ask the jeweler to take some nicer ones.

Thanks again to everyone on Pricescope!!

Thanks everyone!! I cannot stop staring at the sparkle. It's almost like i didn't have a real diamond before, i can't believe how differently it performs. I even had a couple of strangers comment on it! I also love how the double claw prongs make it look slightly less round/more vintage.

What a difference the cut makes! The diamond is gorgeous :) Love love love the setting...does the wedding ring sit flush against it?

Thank you so much, Diamondseeker! I have been so so worried over the past few weeks about my decision because of the color and bad HCA score. Maybe I was just used to not so much sparkle before but I feel like the sparkle factor is defying that score!

Thank you starry night! The wedding band is still tbd but I *think* I am going to do a shared/common prong eternity with 5 pointers from IDJ. I just don't live the way another thin band looks with it and my fiancé is opposed to two stackers. The eternity band can fit pretty much flush.

I was waiting to see the outcome of the new stone and I have to say, it was worth the wait! MD this stone is so much better than the first one, it sparkles like crazy! I love the new ring and it looks stunning on you. It is true what they say "cut is king"
Even though you went down a color it does not look like a J stone it looks like a G or H to me. Perfect choice and I am so glad it worked out for you.
Wear it in the best of health. Congrats!!
