I ... hate to admit it, but I sort of *like* that first one. Not in the same way I like a proper diamond, but ... the milkiness is unusual. Lorelei, do you have an entire folder full of these?
+1 I''m thinking no e-ring either, just the bands...Date: 11/19/2009 11:18:12 AM

So tonight I just got back from spending the evening with Gabi Tolkowsky and his wife. She was wearing 3 stacked pave bands on her left hand, but what do you think his wife''s engagement ring looked like? Keep in mind she told me the story of how the first diamond he gave her was very small, but this was her latest upgrade.
was it a frech cut like this... oohh would love to see itDate: 11/19/2009 1:54:31 PM

Those other diamonds look like frozen spit!
Anyhoo, it was about a 4 carat square checkerboard cut,at the most it was a K-L color and on a thick paved band. I am not sure if this cut has an official name.
It was pretty, but you would think it was a rb, right?

Thanks Kenny! I think it''s just mind-blowing to me that there are people who would compromise that much for size, though. I mean, everybody knows a diamond is supposed to...well, sparkle, right?Date: 11/19/2009 2:14:14 PM

Everyone except Bill Gates and Oprah have to compromise between the 4Cs.
Since people vary there will always be a variety of priorities.
The majority of people pick diamonds as large as possible near the threshold of eye-clean and not too yellow, and cut be dammed.
A small minority prefer a diamond that is D IF or close to it, knowing full well they are giving up size.
To answer your question the reason cutters bother to facet the diamonds above (that look like they were cut from dirty snow from the side of a road) is some people care only about size.
Their budget is $300 but they simply must have a 1-carat diamond.
But thank goodness someone only cares about size.
It gives us lopsie fugs for us to giggle at.

Ok this thread has officially been highjacked. This was supposed to be something interesting about a famous diamond cutter''s wife''s ring and y''all have found a way to ''mind clean'' it. Congrats. I did not think it could be done but you did.
With all due respect, you named this thread Let's Play A Game. It may have worked out differently had you posted about the ring, itself, from the beginning. If you had a photo, we would have loved to see it. If you had details, we would have been interested to read about them. When you ask PSer's to play a game, we enjoy having a bit of fun. I don't understand what you mean about "mind cleaning" this threadDate: 11/19/2009 9:55:28 PM

Ditto. The name of the thread implies a lighter mood. BTW, are there pics of this ring, I know many people would love to see it.Date: 11/20/2009 12:20:22 PM
