Like many, I''ve been lurking around the forums for quite a while and recently decided to move ahead with creating an e-ring for my FF. So far, I''ve only picked out a stone that I really liked the look of:

Of course, like everyone else, I would really like some of you to tell me what you think of it. I''m getting it appraised tomorrow, and if everything is as expected, it''s on to the setting. I''m a bit anxious about this since I''ve never spent so much on a single purchase before (I''ve never even owned a car!), and the more assurance I can get that I''ve made a good decision, the better. Any input would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!

Looks gorgeous - congrats!
 
Gets a 1 on HCA. Looks like a real gem to me!
 
Thanks for the input. I was on the phone with Brian for like half an hour talking about this guy. I was a bit worried about the feathers (you can see it on the AGS), but he reassured me that they are undetectable with the naked eye. I''m very excited to see this guy in action tomorrow.
 
Beautiful diamond, I am sure you will be delighted!
 
Looks great. Feather on VS2 is unnotceable else it would be at least a SI1. So don''t worry about that.
 
Quick question: Where is the best location to store the stone until I have the details for the setting ready? At home? Safe deposit box? Where did you guys store it?
 
Keep it with the company where you get the setting? Or are you not going with WF?
 
I''m still contemplating who I''m doing my setting with. Originally I wanted WF to do it, so I would be sending it back to them until everything was complete, but I have since considered getting a custom design done by Leon Mege right here in NYC.
 
Any pictures?

ETA: Never mind, just clicked through on the link. Very nice stone! Congrats!
 
Just returned from Just Appraisers. David Wolfe is a really nice guy who walked me through the diamond grading/valuation process. It was a very educational experience for me. Supposedly he doesn''t get too many WF diamonds going through his shop (Once a month is average), but I think he was surprised at the quality of the WF ACA. The stone sparkled like a champ. The hearts and arrows all looked gorgeous under all scopes. The feather, however, had me worried, but it was really impossible to see with the naked eye (and it only appeared at certain angles). All in all, great experience from both WF and Just Appraisers (He spent 3.5hrs with me!). Will follow up w/ more details later.
