Here is my CBI! I had the BEST experience with HPD. From the first call when I talked to Wink to my months of correspondences with Layla and the other staff at HPD I was continually impressed with their customer service, availability, thoughtfulness, helpfulness, expertise, the list goes on. They sent several diamonds for me to view to a local appraisers office as well as to my house. There were months of late night emails, calls, waffling, etc. and I couldn’t get over how responsive and caring and knowledgeable they were. They had my best interest in mind 100% of the time. I never felt at all pressured and they were patient and thoughtful and generous. Every single diamond I viewed was amazing (that is an understatement) and I now understand why the CBI brand is so consistent. I really couldn’t have had a better experience with them from finding the perfect diamond to their listening and responding to my detailed design request. I highly recommend HPD and The CBI brand. I can’t wait to work with them again on other projects down the road.

The details of my diamond:
2.13 F VSI
Custom setting by HPD

That's so stunning! We would love more photos! What a glorious diamond and that setting looks amazing.

What range of diamonds did you get to see? What made you go for this one out of all of them? :mrgreen: This would be my dream diamond ... But I love my CBI super much even if it's not an F!

Your ring is spectacular! I absolutely love it! It looks amazing on you, as well. So happy for you! I love Wink and Layla and everyone at HP Diamonds. Not only are they superbly knowledge, fantastic at customer service and have an incredible product, they're also some of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever dealt with.

I saw a bunch from D-I color and all from the 1.7- a little over 2 carat. I also looked at different clarity and nearly went with a gorgeous SI1 but finally decided on the F VS1. They were ALL beautiful this F just stole my heart! It was really just a personal thing where this one was the one!

I felt the exact same way. Layla was like my good friend and everyone else was just so honest, and kind, and genuine. I can’t imagine better customer service.

Here you go! I wanted a donut but a very small one and I didn’t want pave on the stems so I could really see the culet. I love how visible it is.
