Wow, what a great thread and it has been so cool to be able to follow the process of making this gorgeous stone for you DF, HUGE CONGRATS! The video shows an amazing diamond that sure is a ball of fire. We cannot wait to see handshot and hope you will share with us the setting process. It is really great fun that you could see your diamond from its natural stage till the end result. Very special indeed. Also, huge congrats to the creator(s) of this beautiful rock!

It's a gorgeous stone.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for H VS2 or better.

What I'd hope for depends on whether all color and clarity grades are the same price or not.

What I'd hope for depends on whether all color and clarity grades are the same price or not.

Well if it turns out as the super secret grade of c/vvfl it will be seized by the government because it could be used to power ufo's and have a value of $10 billion.
Yikes who is that ringing the door be..............................................................................

Remarkable stone.

Noticed VSB fluor!

Is this of the 'violet' or the more of the 'bright blue' flavor? Any phosphorescence?

 

[ame]

WOW, that is a stunner. Holy crap, DF that thing...WOW! And VSB?!!!

 

[Alistra]

Congratulations DF! I can't wait to see about a zillion pictures of your amazing Octavia!

 

[kenny]

Wow.
Those are over-the-moon beautiful ASET and IS images DF.

Yoram and Karl, they don't pay you enough.

 

[Niel]

I don't know if you're happy with the stats or not but I'd think I would be, if they were at all connected to price....


Perfection, as always.

 

[cflutist]

Congrats DF, It is a beautiful diamond

Have you decided how you are going to set it?

btw, Skalet Jewelers is a really nice AGS store in Old Sac.
I've chatted with the owner several times. He's really knowledgeable.

 

[Dancing Fire]

RR, Ame...All I can tell you about the VSB fluor is that according to Jon it "have no negative" effect on the stone.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Wow.
Those are over-the-moon beautiful ASET and IS images DF.

Yoram and Karl, they don't pay you enough.

I paid too much for the stone.. Jon took me to the cleaners..

Kenny, unlike most H&A RBs each Octavia have its own flavor ASET.

I'll go and have a chat with the owner about doing a 14K +1 tension setting, If the custom 14k +1 setting is too expensive then I might go with a titanium tension setting just in case I'd upgrade in the future...

 

[Dancing Fire]

Guessing VS2, I (uneducated out of my hat guess)
That is a grail stone. Congrats, you are a lucky lucky man.

We have a winner!...
