My new vintage stone arrived today. See avitar.
I LOVE IT ! ! !
It's a 1.37, M, SI1/2. For the price, I was expecting, somehow, a yucky yellow-brown. It is an M but a beautiful golden straw color. It almost looks like a "fancy yellow". For the price, I was expecting a miss-shapen stone(even though the picture did not show that). It is beautifully shaped. I was expecting a dead center, it certainly does not have that.
One of my friends was here when I opened it and we both looked at each other and said "WOW".
It reminds me of blinking Christmas tree lights. You almost need sunglasses for this one. I could go on and on . . .
Anyway, I adore it. It's one of the nicest diamonds I've ever seen.
Anyone with any suggestions on how to set it? I want a simple vintage setting, hopefully not expensive. I'm a white gold person but am considering yellow gold if it would show off its color.
I don't want a setting that will cover up the sides too much, as I want to show off its nice high crown. I love the Single Stone types of settings (but want to go less expensive) or maybe something engraved. I think someone had posted an inexpensive gold e-bay setting but I can't find the link.
Anyway, thanks for looking and listening. Thanks AJ, Grace, LGK, and all.
Thanks.
