Looking for an OEC

[Gypsy]

I can't find what I'm looking for... so I thought I'd ask for help since we are all talking about OECs.

I need an OEC at 5.1-5.3 mm. Happy with I-K color (and need to stay there because I'm matching an existing stone). Would like to pay... as little as possible under 600 at least-- more comfortably around 400. Small culet preferred, but not mandatory. Eyeclean or small white inclusion okay.

The stone will eventually be bezelled and paired with another for studs.

Gypsy, can you post a pic of your current stone for matching purposes? Since OECs run the gamut in pattern and proportions, it would be good to know your matching tolerance. Are you looking for similar crown height, table size and pattern?

That's a great size for studs! Hope you find a mate!

I was going to take a pic, but hubby apparently ran off with BOTH cameras. I'll get a pic uploaded by the end of the night hopefully.

Hi Coati, thanks for the help. I'm using my GOG gift certificate to find a pear drop to replace this OEC, so that I can use it for studs if I can find a mate. It the most economical way of getting two things I've been wanting for a while: a bezel pear drop and OEC studs.

Okay, this is the best I could do without or good camera.

Gypsy, If I find something not loose in your prices, is this ok or do you really want a loose stone?

Not lose is fine, honey.

Nothing to loose to watch it:

Oh wow. No returns, but enough spread overage that I could have Brian recut this one like he did my other stone. I will DEFINITELY watch this one-- the no returns makes me nervous, but if it's a good enough deal, I might go for it.

Thanks Yenny... it's a challenge both because of the size (high fifties to sixty points) and because of my anorexic budget.

Wow, that's a stunning looking stone in that ring. I would save the seller but he doesn't ship internationally and the no returns is kind of scary. Nice ring too.
