I got to see my sister's e-ring diamond today and it is GORGEOUS!!!!!! 
My future BIL was nervous about the "I" color so wanted to check it out in person. (He says he still prefers "D" but that the stone is "pretty white".) He was blown away by the performance of the little firecracker
He tried finding the grade making feather (only inclusion) for about an hour (with no loupe) and could not- it's a totally eye clean from all sides SI2!
He's very thankful I found him such a great stone at a great price which is really a big thanks to all of you I've learned from here over the years
It's going back to BGD tomorrow to be set in a custom 3 shank double sided halo setting Denise said the CADs should be done tomorrow or Monday. (I think I've emailed her more than future BIL!!! LOL) I'll post those when they come.
I only have a couple iPhone pics to share but even in these pics you can see how beautiful this stone is The colored flashes coming off this little guy are UH-MAZING!!

) So he started the custom process with BGD but after 3 CAD renderings came back not as he'd requested/envisioned, future BIL was worried that the ring wasn't going to be close enough to what sis picked out and -the biggest concern- that it was going to be much less delicate than the MF ring. The MF setting has less than half pointers in the halo and BGD was going to use 1 pointers - plus, now that I've seen the MF ring in person, I don't really think it's the stlye that BGD does- it's super delicate with barely any visible metal. (It reminds me more of Leon's style.) To play it safe he decided to get her what she wanted (thank goodness or I'd be in a heap of trouble!) He shipped the stone directly to MF who custom made the ring to fit her stone and it took less than 3 weeks!
