My 1.86ct H color OMC

[almondblossom]

I am so happy and want to share my new diamond with you! I love old cuts and finally found this one. It was last set in a 1920s brooch from France, but the diamond itself is older and was probably cut during the second half of the 19th century. It is a chunky OMC with kozibe that dances round the table like confetti.

The stats:
1.867ct
7.3x7.4x5.25mm
It is uncerted but was graded by a gemologist as (GIA standard) H color, I1 (but eye clean to me)

Bubbly is a perfect description. So much personality and beauty. Love it!

 

[pandabee]

Omg it is exquisite. Bubbly is exactly the word that comes to mind with that first picture with all the kozibe. It's got such a great personality! I also am a big fan of the number for the ct weight (it's got my birthday in it! hehe). Can't wait to see what you do with it!!

 

[Acinom]

What a beauty!! A very soft and femine stone. I love the high crown!!
I cannot wait to see how you will set it. Do you already have an idea?

 

[ScorpioLove]

Wow Almondblossom! Beautiful stone; very soft & feminine color & shape. I can't wait to see what you decide in terms of a setting! Be sure to keep us posted.

I am so touched by all your sweet compliments!!! I am so happy about each and every comment. I have been admiring your rings for so long and it feel s great to finally be able to share my own diamond and joy with you all.

arkieb1, Thank you so much! I don’t know how I am going to set the diamond. I think I will go with something simple. A classic solitaire look.

Missy, thank you for your kind words! I love her personality.

lknvrb4, thank you so much!

kalomeli & kelli, she really is bubbly! She looks like such a happy, cheerful diamond. This chunky, bubbly diamond reminds me of my glad, bubbly two-year-old with chubby cheeks

rosetta, thank you very much!

Pandabee, Thank you! That is really sweet of you to say! How fun that the ct weight has your birthday in it I also like when the carat weight or the letter of the color means something special.

Acinom, Thank you! I have some ideas in my head, but haven’t decided yet. Btw, I LOVE your ring!

ScorpioLove, Thanks! I love your ring and I have to admit that I have been going back to look at your pics over and over again… Your setting is my absolute dream setting, but I don’t know if it would work with mine when it is not 100% round.

Kathley, thank you! I also love the kozibe. I must tell you that your OEC has the most perfect pattern I have ever seen. I was drooling over it when Jbeg had it for sale and I think you picked a wonderful setting for it.

Gemfever, thank you for your sweet comment and for all your help in the past! I love your Audrey!!!

Lorissey, thank you so much!

Bastecat, thank you. I am so happy you like it!

Amywife13, thank you so much for your compliments! The history of the diamond made me love it even more. I love the thought of it being someone’s jewelry all the way back to the 19th century.

Alistra, thank you so much! I love your old cut too!!!

IE_princess, thank you so much for your sweet words! They made me really happy! Your ring is beautiful and I love when you stack it with your gorgeous bands!

LindyLoooo, thank you! I am also fond of the faceting.

Rika, thank you so much!

MissGotRocks, thank you for your compliment!

Diamondseeker, I am really glad you like it – thank you! You have the most amazing AVR!!!

Laila619, thank you very much!

Confection10, thank you! I also love the characters of OMCs and OECs.

Beautiful stone!! Where did you find her, if you don't mind me asking I love your pictures!!

 

[almondblossom]

Thank you, Ms A! I found it at a local jeweler (in Europe) who specializes in antique jewelry.

 

[dragonfly411]

This stone is just gorgeous!!!

 

[Ms_A]

That's awesome! It gives me hope that my local jeweler will have something as well!! You got a very very beautiful stone!!
