Have bought super ideal stones from BGD in the past, but am very curious (and appreciative) of the cost benefits of MMDs, especially with a PhD in materials science. Just pulled the trigger on this stone, and was wondering what folks thought about it. Basically restricted my search to Table 52-58, Depth 59-61.8, CA 34-35°, PA 40.6-40.9°, and came up with this one that fits the bill nicely with H&A and meeting all criteria, although HCA is 1.6 and VG across the board. A little confused by that.
No obvious internal graining in the video (no still image on website), and now circular arrays of defects from growth start/stops, both of which drive me crazy even though I doubt I would see them There is video on Yadav's website, and the IGI report is attached. Setting will be Pt, 6 prong peg head on pave band with 7 4pt brilliants on each side.
Thanks for opinions- nervous as hell, and not just about the stone, but the intended propose as well. Never thought I'd be doing this again.
-widowed and ready to live again
