Dear all pricescopers,
Some of you may have seen my previous posts, I''m living in Aus and it has been so so hard to find some quality yet affordable cushions here- there are virtually none. So my fiance and I ( after the proposal) went about trying to find one. We nearly 99.9% went with GOG because we love their OMC however for us it was just too risky and difficult importing over from the US.
So in the end we went with diamond exchange in melbourne who weren''t too bad really, I mean some days were pretty frustrating when we thought we had found a diamond online and they wouldnt reply to us for AGES to let us know if it was still available and often we couldn''t even see a picture of it (which NO WAY we were going to purchase w/o even a picture...hmm NO). But then we met a lovely consultant who really helped us out. SO in the end we purchased (with a lot of trepidation) a 1.85 cushion brilliant VS1, J colour, excellent cut with GIA cert.(Ill pos the rest of the specs fiance has the cert at his house). Problem was...the facets aren''t as large as I would have liked and it is a cross between a crushed ice and a normal cushion brilliant cut. However, despite all this I really loved the stone (which is all that matters!) and it sparkles like crazy so I am thrilled
. The setting was supposed to be very similar to a Leon Mege setting . I am happy with the setting however I would like the diamond to sit lower in the setting, is this possible?? The band is nice and thin like I wanted, a half knife edge and its 1.1mm. And I think one of the pointed claws is bigger than the other 3!!! I am so fussy you cant see this in person but when I have been taking photos I only just noticed. ahhh!!
