I adopted this little bugger right before the new year :))
Meet Freckles!
Named for all the I1 inclusions. Freckles will be a great companion for my Dimples (that I still don't have, GRR!). The prongs on this the pendant are sort of funky looking, and I'm not exactly a fan of these types of settings, so I will eventually… some day.. in a distant future.. :naughty: set her in a milgrain sliding bezel. I'm just sooooo lazy to set things! I'm glad it came in a setting, so at least I can wear her around for now. :love:

Specs from listing:
J/K color, I1 clarity
5.987-6.143mm (average 6.065mm)
Table: 49%
Depth 63.68%
Culet: Large

Holy Madelise!! THAT LOOKS HUGE on you!! wow - and for a 6mm (avg) it sure looks much larger!! Awesome find! And can't seem to see significant inclusions in your pics - maybe it's my old eyes - can you see inclusions?

Enerchi - Thank you! Yes, I am just so darn compassionate, I want to adopt all! :naughty: Yes, this will stay as a pendant. I want to eventually change the setting into a milgrained bezel, but I'm lazy and cheap. I have many things waiting in line for a project, so I'm glad this one came with a setting so I can wear her for now. ::) I figure, eventually, one day down the line, I can even reset the milgrained bezel pendant into a stud, and find a matching companion for this guy… now that's talking about decade+ later! NO DATING UNTIL SHE TURNS 16! I'm a strict momma :naughty: I can't see the inclusions from a normal distance, but I do have eagle eyes so I can spot them without a problem when she's right in front of my eyes, about 10"? Even though she has a huge black birthmark on her face, it's not that evident because she's so sparkly.

Laila - Thank you!!

JaneSmith - Just posted one :wavey: It came out poopy since I used the front facing camera on the iPhone 4. :( I don't have a camera.

Fiona - Thank you! The project will take years, probably. I'm a total lagger. :oops:

awwwwww freckles and dimples...what a troublesome duo!!!!! :naughty: ;)) She looks FABULOUS on you. Love the size!!! And you look so happy with her hehe. I didn't notice the prongs in the original listing but good thing you don't notice it regularly, only if you are 6 inches from your neck!! Although it kinda reminds me of a butterfly with how far apart they are set so that's pretty cool too. I'm glad you scooped this beauty up because I didn't have the budget for it but this faceting and color/clarity combo are perfect!!!

I love her!! As a gal with hundreds of freckles, I feel a special bond with her. In fact I may have to go hunting for one to adopt myself! You know, in solidarity of the pigmentally challenged. :)

:lol: Madelise!! You are too funny!! "big black birthmark on her face" --- no no no! That's the part that makes her perfect and beautiful because she is unique and one of a kind and a little like Marilyn Monroe!! you are LUCKY to have that unique feature!! Ann Bancroft, Madonna (is her's real or does she draw on one?), Cindy Crawford... these are beautiful women and your little girl is one of their club!!! :praise: :halo: :praise:

And what a good mom - you just keep adopting these little ones so we can enjoy them along with you!!!! :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl:

Hah, Enerchi, you beat me to it! I was going to compliment Madelise on her selfless desire to protect all little homeless OECs. Just think of the life that stone might have had otherwise; it just breaks my heart to think about... :Up_to_something: It really is a sparkly little bugger isn't he? Nice job!

...and please, no cosmetic surgery, her sparkly personality makes up for it and she is so lovely just the way she is!

Haha, yes, Freckles + Dimples! Now I'm forced to keep naming my diamonds, lol. I noticed the prongs ASAP, but since it's not in a forever setting, I don't mind it. I love the clarity grade, I've never been a stickler for clarity!

You've got to get yourself a pretty I1 to commemorate your freckles! I love freckles, I wish I had them! I'd never cover them up :bigsmile: The closest I have ever gotten to freckles was my acne lol!

Oh yes, her birthmark isn't ugly by all means ;)) It brings her character!! She's a Cindy Crawford for sure! LOL, you got me cracking up. I wish I can adopt more, but this full time student only has so much cash to adopt babies :knockout:

Lol, cosmetic surgery? What's that in bling talk? You mean rehoming the setting? Or clarity enhancement (which I would never dare!)?

It's beautiful and it looks much bigger than a 6mm stone on your neck!

Thank you!! Yes, she does shine bright, doesn't she? That edge-to-edge light return is fantastic! :love:

Yes, it's surprising how much presence it has. I believe it has to do with how well performing this little bugger is, and it really shows you just how important Cut is > the other C's.

Very pretty! I love that she is imperfect, almost all true beauties are flawed in some way :))

Very pretty stone. Looks great... I have to say seeing this stone is tempting me to look at lower clarity options! ;)) You sure have a beauty there.
