Sounds like it could be a winner!
Wow, that is huge! I love upgrade policy''s in about 20+ years maybe i''ll have her one that size haha.Date: 6/15/2009 6:16:38 PM

No, I don''t mind Ryon! I got it from GOG, and it''s a 1.40.
lol It took me 24 years to get this, and I had a much smaller stone than you''re getting your gal to begin with. I have to say, it was worth the wait.Date: 6/15/2009 6:20:48 PM

Yeah, they told me the average diamond starting out in the US is a little below half a carat. I was really suprised by that.Date: 6/15/2009 6:27:29 PM

I felt bad that I was starting so small, but I wanted to start somewhere (can''t wait till graduation) and these H&A diamonds seem so unique and I have never heard of anyone having one IRL.
Like how I about called the years it would take me lol?
Ryon, the last stone I purchased was a .52ct H&A from JA. I''m so happy with the stone that I''m about to get another from them.Date: 6/15/2009 5:59:24 PM

Might have a loose diamond coming in soon with an H&A viewer to check for the hearts pattern
Its a .54 G SI1 (eyeclean) the IS looked great and they said it could pass as an F easily.
I can''t give you guys a link because it is currently off the site on hold
The cut advisor gave it a 1.3
Thanks Ellen you make a ton of good points. She would love no matter what I got her shes a great gfDate: 6/15/2009 7:04:02 PM

It is kinda hard to believe that the average really isn''t that big, especially around here, lol. But it''s true. And you are totally on the right track in your thinking. The stone you''re getting should be SO sparkly and bright, that it truly will outshine a good amount of bigger diamonds.And yeah, I''ve never seen one in real life, except for another PS''ers.![]()
She''s gonna love it!![]()
I haven''t purchased it yet, but hope to make the decision soon.Date: 6/15/2009 7:11:16 PM

Thanks all of you guys who are from the colored stone section are so niceDate: 6/15/2009 9:16:59 PM

Ryon- I''ve been keeping an eye for your thread on here, I''m so excited for your new stone to arrive after having to send your aqua back. Any idea on what setting you will put it in?
Thanks I was just making sure, I needed to hear that lol.Date: 6/16/2009 7:47:16 PM

Ya, the numbers are good. Don''t worry about the numbers once you have the IS image and the real stone to see for yourself. :p The numbers are just average that we use to roughly gauge how well the stone will perform, IS and seeing it yourself in all lighting conditions will trump whatever the numbers tell you.![]()
They do, seriously. This is going to be a very bright and beautiful diamond.Date: 6/16/2009 7:39:18 PM

Looks to be mine thanks for all the help guys, but you can still give me your opinion on the numbers. I think they look great.
Its a knife-edge 4 prong tiffany style setting.Date: 6/19/2009 12:27:48 PM
