KT I wonder if you would mind sharing how long it took from the time you asked Brian to find this diamond for you until he actually did find it for you? Just curious!
Thanks KT! That is a long time indeed. You are a very patient womanDate: 4/9/2010 11:30:47 PM

When I first asked him he said it usually takes about 2-3 months for him to find something. Unfortunately I wanted something very specific in a tight budget so it did take a bit longer. To the PSer in me it felt like it was forever. I had even at one point, about 3 months ago, asked him about a virtual stone I found. I was home on early maternity leave and looked at diamonds all day so it made me very anxious to get a ring on my finger and the stone I found was most of what I wanted. After some thought, I decided against having them bring it in. I realized I really wanted a BGD and just needed to be patient. I am soooo glad I waited. It was totally worth every moment of waiting to have the perfect stone I was dreaming of! I couldn't be happier!

Thanks KT, My questions are as follows:
1)Do you think the right H SI2 diamond was located and then re-cut to H&A proportions for you? How long did you actually wait?
2)Do you have any diamond jewelry with D-F color stones that I can see next to your new BGD "H"? I''m kind of color sensitive, and I want to see if a super ideal "H" would be white enough?
3) Is the stone alone under 15K? I''d like to spend around that figure if possible.
Thanks in advance!

DD, I would say because it had to be an H and totally eye clean and within my budget. I think the budget constraints was one of the biggest things that made me have to wait.Date: 4/10/2010 2:50:45 AM

ETA KT, was it the ''HSI2 that is totally eye clean'' designation that was so hard to find, or were there specific angles etc you were looking for?

I waited about 10 months start to finish. If you are asking did they find a diamond that was already cut and recut it to H&A, I would say I doubt it. I think Brian has alot of resources and can''t see him doing that. He seems to always be going to Antwerp to get stones. My guess is if someone wanted something specific like I did, as long as they were willing to be a bit patient he can find it.
2)Do you have any diamond jewelry with D-F color stones that I can see next to your new BGD ''H''? I''m kind of color sensitive, and I want to see if a super ideal ''H'' would be white enough?
I do not have anything in the D-F range. The closest I have is my mother has some 30 point G BGD. I don''t think that it would be a good comparison though. I would suggest if you can to go to a Hearts on Fire dealer. They will have some to compare. I know I can tell a big difference from my J to the H. I am not super sensitive when it comes to color. For me it was the crispness that I saw in the H that I didn''t get in the J when I got to the 2ct mark. I have some 30 point J ACA''s from when Brian was at WF and I can''t tell a big difference in them from my mom''s G''s. So for me as the size got bigger the color became more of a factor.
3) Is the stone alone under 15K? I''d like to spend around that figure if possible.
No the stone was not under 15K. My budget was a few thousand more than that and even then it was a tough find.
Hope this helps!!!
