Here is my first ever CBI! I didn't even think to look at this brand at first but Drizzle's videos piqued my curiosity. And when I saw it in person, it had a quality of sparkle like I'd never seen before. Words and photos cannot convey the beauty of this brand. The facets are just so clear and blinding. Now I understand everything she said about the crisp facets and developing a palate. It's so true!

I also want to thank Wink and his team at High Performance Diamonds for the best service I've ever received! Aside from the personal responses from Wink himself throughout my selection process and sending me multiple videos for review, he set my stone for me (my own setting) and took care of overnight shipping for both my setting and the finished ring. When I received my order, I was delighted with all the extra goodies, including an appraisal for insurance purposes. It was real first class treatment.

I have to also mention my particular stone is eye-clean from the top, but I later noticed that the inclusion was visible from the side as a pinpoint on very close inspection. When I messaged Wink about this, he wanted me to be completely happy, so without asking questions or trying to convince me, he offered to do an exchange or a full refund with free return shipping. I told him I'd think about it and obviously loved my stone so much I kept it.

Now onto the photos!

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments!! You're too kind! My wedding set isn't particularly exciting but the CBI opened up a whole new world of superideals for me. I have more photos and a video saved for a later post, but they hardly capture what I see IRL.

Thank you @cflutist for posting the link in the CBI thread. I'm so lazy about booting up my desktop. Btw, what is the secret to getting chocolates from HPD? :D
 
Congratulations!! beautiful ring!!..:love::clap:

Umm, you need to ask @Wink about that. I know that he does not send them out in hot weather.
 
@erislynn Congratulation on your beautiful ring! I didn't notice that you had referenced me until now haha :loopy: I just wanted to say that the 6 prongs "Tiffany" style setting will always have a little piece of my heart - so classic and you can jazz up the look with fun blingy bands. And I absolutely love the way your ring looks on your hands.
 
Stunning set! Congratulations.
 
Gorgeous stone and I love the setting!
 
Beautiful stone and the band is great with it.
 
Beautiful diamond and ring.
