ok, I dashed out to the fedex office between meetings... here are some quick photos. First impressions: I'm in love! I would never have guessed this was a J - it is very white. Maybe I'm just not color sensitive, but I have no regrets in going with a diamond of this size in a J. Setting is great too - exactly what I wanted. Simple and "elegant" (It's aptly named). Super pleased with the ACA cut and Whiteflash!
I tried to get the arrows but didn't do a good job. Will have to try again later...

I can't take a decent picture of this beautiful thing!
I am almost afraid to wear it even though I'm not leaving my house. What a shame I can't show it off in some nice restaurant lighting! It's so darn pretty.
Even my husband agreed, despite agonizing over all the measurements/angles trying to pick my original stone (he chose something at BlueNile even though I wanted a WF stone), even he could immediately see how wonderfully cut this was. Our first stone was a 1 on the HCA and checked all the right boxes for measurements, but it still did not look nearly as perfect, nor sparkle the way this diamond does.
Part of me feels a little guilty for upgrading so early (2 years in), but I was never completely happy with the other diamond. And although I don't feel IF clarity is necessary by any means, I can't help but appreciate knowing it's internally perfect. That's just a bonus.
Buying diamonds online is tough. However, I do believe that there's a level of confidence in choosing a super-ideal stone with the supporting light performance imagery. Did I mention I am in love with this diamond???
