Well..just to continue the story for those who may be following...
I went to the jeweler with my 5 beautiful "A cut above" diamonds to see the progress on my setting. He has been great to work with but I think he was a bit dissapointed that I sourced the diamonds myself and was quite coy about expressing too much praise. That''s okay, I can live with it. I KNOW they are GREAT!! We checked the laser inscription on each one. He could just read it under a 10x loupe but I couldn''t. (getting tired eyes I guess) We then looked at the inscription under a 20x microscope. It was amazingly clear and crisp - and SO tiny! We then put the diamonds into the wax model and oh-baby
WOW! I''m in love. Can you have TOO MUCH sparkle on your finger?? They looked better than I ever hoped for. The wax model needed a little refinement and should be ready for buy-off next Tuesday. I hated to leave my diamonds behind but I am anxious to see the final result. Stay tuned for further updates
