For those of you who have read my "argh! what does this mean?!" post:
The jeweller contacted the people who did the OGI for me this morning. He said that the word millenium on the OGI label refers to he fact that the measurements obtained by the OGI fall within a range of specifications/measurements that DeBeers classifies as "millenium."
He was careful to note, though, that this diamond is NOT one of THE DeBeers millenium diamonds, which he explained was a promotional effort DeBeers made in 2000 where they laser inscribed a select # of diamonds and provided them in special cases.
It is simply that "millenium" also has some kind of technical meaning to DeBeers, and since a DeBeers mine was the source of this diamond, when the OGI measurements revealed that the stone angles and specs fall within the "millenium" range/classification stipulated by DeBeers, the OGI report was labelled with the word "millenium."
The jeweller seems to be telling the truth, and he has been very patient with me. DOes this sound like a reasonable explanation?
I'm ready to buy today, because unfortunately I have no more time to wait! I can at least say that the stone looked great under fluorescent light bulbs and mixed fluorescent/standard overhead light bulbs.
I GREATLY appreciate any last advice. I'm grateful to everyone on this board who has been patient with me through this experience as well. You've all been a great help.
