please help me identify 'miss thing'!

[tcbenham]

inherited this ring last wk. and really, really would like to know what shape the center diamond is. as i'm sure u will see, there are major 'issues' with how she was set. the 2 jewelers i took it to said the stone would have to be removed to identify the shape. please chime in and give me your input! have to go out of town so can't get an appraisal done just yet.

cheers,
T

If two jewelers that saw it in person can't identify it, what makes you think we can from some blurry pics?

It could be a marquise. But your best bet is to get it looked at in person a third time, and this time by a GOOD independent appraiser.

Uh, my best guess would be a marquise From the photos it's hard to tell why there's a question about the shape of the center stone. Is there evidence to suggest it's not a marquise (if perhaps a wonky one)?

I really can't tell 100% from those pictures because there isn't a clear, close-up shot of it, but it appears that the table reflection in the top picture is that of a marquise. I guess it could have a marquise shape table and still have a rounded top and bottom and be semi-oval, though.

It looks like a marquise from the photos... did the jewelers say why they couldn't identify the shape? I don't understand...

Is there a possibility it could be an oval that is set kinda funny??

all the jewelers would say was the stone would have to be removed from the mounting to identify it. i have a more traditional slender cut marquise-well, the sleeker cut that i believe to be more popular. i did a little research on this forum and found references to the 'chubquise', and also found some stones referred to as 'marqovals'. maybe the plumper marquise cut of this ring-if that's what it is-befuddled me. anyways, thank you all so much for the speedy replies!

oops...meant to apologize for the blurry pics from the onset. sorry! guess i have eye strain from analyzing the stone and how it's set and figured you people would notice it also. not possible from the blurry pics i realize.
