Let''s Show Off Our 2-3 Carat "Center Stones" Here!

[Lynn B]

Well, we've got a great thread of 3+ carat center stones... and another wonderful one of 1's and under... but nothing for our 2 carat beauties! Can't have THAT now, can we?!

So I thought it would be fun to start a special thread to post all of our beautiful 2 - 3 carat diamonds -- plus now we'll have them "all in one place".

Along with photos, please include "specs" and ring size. Thank you!

I'll start with mine. AGS0, 2.367 J/SI2 RB. It's as white as can be - and totally, 100% eye-clean. Mmmmm, perfect and gorgeous. I LOVE it!

(Ring size 4.75)

The thread (with more info and additional pictures) can be found here:

Hi Lynn
Have you slept since receiving your ring back? I just read through my threads 7 months ago and it brought back GREAT memories. My diamond was purchased through MDX (Icestore Australia) and the diamond was appraised and set by Garry Holloway (Precious Metals in Melbourne Australia).
Here are the specs, photos and thread links:

2.23ct G VS2
8.29-8.35 x 5.18
Table: 54.8%
Depth: 62.3%
Crown angle: 34.7 deg
Pavilion angle: 40.5 deg
Girdle: 1.4-1.9
Culet: none (0.1%)
Polish: GIA excellent
Symmetry: GIA excellent
Fluorescence: none
H&A cut
HCA score 0.6
Edited to add: Ring size US 5.5 to fit over my knuckle. The rest of my finger is smaller, so it is unfortunately quite loose when on.

Overexcited about my MDX purchase?

Kaylagee and Angela,
Thanks for posting! It's always a pleasure to see your rings again. Angela, I had forgotten how much I LOVE the basket!

Mmmmmm -- gorgeous rings!
Lynn


PS And yep, with The Bauble safely tucked away each night in the jewelry box, I am sleeping like a BABY!

Back in the day when it flew solo (ps that''s not an inclusion in the center, lower left...just a shadow)

 

[Lynn B]

OH thanks, MMM! LOVE those pictures of that beauty!

And you DO NOT have "man hands"! YOU SILLY!!!!

Wow, this thread is shaping up nicely -- YAY!

(I always worry that I won''t get any replies... shades of throwing a party and no-one coming... !!!

)

[Sundial]

Beautiful rings ladies, just beautiful!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Can anybody dig up mine, I would like to add to the list. I don''t know how to do it. I know I am so lame, but that''s me.

 

[asblackrock]

Hi Kaleigh
I found it for you and I think it is just heavenly

- what are the specs?

MMM - I love yours too. I had initially wanted a 3 stone ring and I still dream about having one as a RHR one day.


THIS IS KALEIGH'S RING:

 

[Kaleigh]

asblackrock,
Thank you although my hands aren''t that wrinkly in person!!!! The center stone is 2.36 E VVS2, and the sides are .68 E VVS.

 

[Lynn B]

Whew, Kaleigh, THAT'S sure an eye-popper! And E/VVS ... be still my heart!

I LOVE IT!
Lynn

PS What's your ring size? I think we should post that, too. I'll go back and edit the first post to mention/request that! Angela... MMM... Kaylagee... would you mind adding that to your posts along with your lovely pictures? THANK YOU!

 

[asblackrock]

Kaleigh, this is the link to the thread on your ring:


Edited to add:
At least the link is working, even though for some reason you need to click on my name. LOL!
I am kind of getting the hang of this linking thing and will go back to see if I can link mine properly!

 

[mrs jam]

Well, I don''t post much; but I''m called out of lurkdom to post my baby. It''s known around these parts (according to my husband) as the The Last Major Diamond Purchase. He actually drew up a contract for me to sign! Oh brother. Anyway, it''s 2.56 ct. K/VS1 we purchased from GOG. I was nervous about the K color since it was an online purchase, but it was a needless worry. Setting by Mark Morrell. So far it''s satisfied all my diamond urges. Key words being "so far."

 

[mrs jam]

Here''s another view. I can''t figure out how to post more than one pic to a post.

 

[mrs jam]

Last one. It''s a handshot and I was very bloated that day, so forgive the sausage fingers.

 

[Kaleigh]

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Also love the Mark Morrel setting, it's just gorgeous!!!!!!

ETA: My ring size is 5

 

[mrs jam]

A bajillion carats, anyone? Sorry to spam; I couldn''t resist!

 

[mrs jam]

Thank you, Kaleigh. It was a very nice project. My whole summer last year was spent waiting on that ring!

 

[glitterata]

Oh, Mrs. Jam, that is just SO BEAUTIFUL!!

And no way it''s a K--really?

 

[Lynn B]

That "K" must stand for "KILLER"!!!!

Wow! It is SOOOOO drool-worthy! I''m so happy you posted it here -- we needed to see it again! Thank you!

(Ring size, please?!)

Lynn

 

[mrs jam]

Thank you, ladies! I can''t believe it''s a K, either, but I''m glad it was because that was the only way I would have been able to land a rock over 2cts.

Lynn, I think I ordered the ring as a size 6.25. I''ve lost quite a bit of weight in the last few months, so it''s kind of lose right now but I can''t part with it to get it sized so I''ve been putting a piece of foam tape on the back as a homemade sizing ball.

 

[asblackrock]

Hi Mrs Jam
I was rolling around with laughter reading your post when my DH wanted to know what was up. I read out your post and he said he saw nothing funny in it at all. He thought a contract would have been a very good idea for me too. Some men just have no sense of humour when it comes to diamond purchases!

PS Gorgeous ring.

 

[mrs jam]

It''s no laughing matter, Angela. I''m stuck changing the kitty litter for the next 5 years of my life.

What''s funny is he keeps trying to make amendments like it''s the Consitution or something. He''s currently laying on the sofa with a Jones fracture in his foot, acting like a big old baby. He''s even using a little crystal bell I have on the coffee table as his "nurse call." I''m thinking about substituting his Motrin with Nytol.

No, Silly...that belongs on the "Bajillion carat thread," NOT the 2-3 carat thread!
