lulu_ma - Here is the AVC J and OEC M side-by-side

[RetroQT]

@lulu_ma Per your sweet request, here are a few pics plus an outdoor and an indoor video of my 2.16 AVC (J-VS2) next to my new 2.03 OEC (M-VS1). I struggle seeing much difference and there’s three letters difference between them. I kinda feel like this OEC is a unicorn. LOL!

@lulu_ma I just went back and added two more outdoor pics for you. You can see a little more warmth in the M, but I expected a lot more difference between the two. Did you as well?

And just for fun, here is my M OEC with my E pear.

Thanks for indulging me with pics and vids-this is great visual data for me! I have an M color oec and an F color ec-but not a J.

Sophia is a beauty and I love the finger coverage!

I was originally looking for a 2.5-3ct for the finger coverage. Sophia appeases that perfectly (and for a whole heck of lot less money).

And of course, happy to do it. I hadn’t put them together so it was cool for me to see it as well. Although I hate filming my “mother’s hands”. Hahaha! When did I get “old”?

I need to put Sophia with Lucy (my 1.25 OEC) and see how they look.

They really are. And even more so in person.

Last one. Here is Lucy (est 1.25ct H-SI2 in WG) and Sophia (GIA M-VS1 in plat). This is unedited. Amazing how white Sophia faces up!

TOP: My original wedding set. Notice the baguettes in the center of the outer and inner bands?



BOTTOM: Sophia; My current engagement/wedding ring. Notice the similarities?

My original diamond was reset twice since the wedding. The first time it had a double halo and diamonds on the shank. I reset it a second time after my husband’s ex-wife got engaged with an almost identical double halo ring (years after I got mine.) So I honestly forgot the details of my original set. However, I came across that picture of it the other day and it made me smile to see the similarities between then and now.
