Cool Yoram-

I see it's potential ( it's graded VVS2 but GIA has determined that it can be recut to achieve Internally Flawless)- I can't imagine what it must feel like to work on a stone like that..... if offered, would you take on the job of improving it?

Think some woman somewhere is actually wearing that, or is it destined for a veleveteen bank box?

Why Yssie,
Did you not see the new "show me the bling" thread I started with my new pink diamond?

HA HA

I wish!

I wouldn't put that sucker in a box, I'd wear it!

Jewelry is for WEARING.
Cars are for DRIVING.
Wine is for DRINKING. (Note, the drinking is after the driving, not before.)

Maybe it will go to the Smithsonian (on loan) at some point -- it was so cool seeing the Wittelsbach-Graff this summer ... 2x.

It's probably Beyonce's anniversary ring.
