I did it!! :appl: I bought the stone above. Thank you for helping me with all your comments! I love it i could not be happier with it. To reiterate the stone was an upgrade from Old World Diamonds, i had a 1.30 L si1 clarity and i wanted something a little bigger but that would still fit in my original Leon setting. My dream has always been a 1.70ct and when i saw the facet pattern on this baby and just how gorgeous it was i knew it was it. I wavered a little because of the price as it related to it's unknown color but with a price tag of only 4800$ i'd be a dumbo to not go for it. I honestly think my brain is a genius for not only liking but LOVING lower colored stones. To tell ya the truth one of the reasons i wanted to change my L was because i thought it was too white! It didn't look like my idea of vintage lace. The new stone who i have lovingly tapped as "Big Poppa" is perfect, it's just beautiful and sparkly and just a yummy champagne color, never shows as yellow despite the video. i think that's where it looks the darkest, not that it would bother me. Everything else has remained the same, same setting, same pink diamond wedding band. Even Leon's famous double claw prongs and basket remained the same even thought he did not do the reset it and the metal had to be lasered and grown to go over the new stone which was measurements wise much bigger ( i got the best bench in NYC : ), pompous bum didnt even reply to my email lol. Without further ado...

the specs are-
1.62 crt
7.49x7.06x4.81
color: p-q
D:68%
T: 47%
culet :large
pol:good
sym:good
no flour

I very rarely comment on here, but your new stone is so gorgeous that I just couldn't help myself. Like you, I adore warmer colours, and should have my 4.09ct O-P OMC on my way to me in a few short months. Seeing your stone reminds me of why I fell in love with my diamond in the first place. I love the pink diamond band next to it - my jeweller has sketched an absolutely amazing pink diamond double halo for my setting, and I just love the soft, pastel colours that your rings display. Congratulations on such a wonderful new stone!
