I am willing to barter as many live chickens as can fit in my Mini Cooper for it. Please let me know if you accept my offer.

Funny you say that.
I recently checked with our city about how many chicken we are allowed to have.
Only one.

So while you offer is tempting, I just can't let it go for one live chicken unless perhaps it is the famous Mike, the headless chicken .

Congrats on your new precious :}

[CdnBlingGal]

Absolutely breathtaking!

 

[upgrade]

Not to threadjack here... but Karl, since you designed this stunner of a diamond, I''m curious... What kind of setting did you envision your diamond being in? If you could do anything you wanted, what would you do with Octavia?

 

[Cachette]

Congratulations Kenny! Awesome pictures of an awesome stone.

Enjoy!!!!

I plan on a slim bezel on 2 split posts.
Someone not long ago had the one like it made but without the split posts.

A TI tension setting.

A mock tension setting in plat or any setting that leaves the sides open.

Or a halo that sets the stone slightly above the halo so the full crown is shown. Similar to the WF round halo.

Cartier 1922 clone

It works in many different settings.

It would work with so many settings... but I want it in the Cartier clone! So beautiful...

zOMG, Kenny! I hadn''t seen the pics as I was away from the office/computer all day the last 2 days and OH. MY. GOD!!!!!! You are absolutely KILLING me!!!!

First, I totally called dibs in October.

Second, your artistry with a camera is extraordinary!!!! I am so incredibly obsessed with the Octavia, and I am so happy to see your gorgeous pictures of it. It is truly stunning, and I will probably lust over *yours* until I can get one of my own. It''s just . . . Magnificent.

Third, wait - your SO doesn''t know? This is a gift for yourself, right?

Fourth, this is one of those moments/threads that will go into the archives of PS history. I can''t wait to see your final choice for a tension setting - you wear them so well.

Fifth, I have to reiterate that I called dibs. Just sayin'' . . .

 

[loriken214]

WOW....I am SO late to this party, but all I can say is CONGRATULATIONS Kenny!!!!!

I''ve got an Octavia on my wish list and can''t wait to have one of my own.

Karl, you''re THE MAN!!!!

Lori

 

[Haven]

WOOOOOOOOW!
It''s beautiful.

Congratulations, Kenny!

Dibs?

On what?
My 2.26 asscher?

Uhm, Missie, that's staying securely on my finger.
The only way it might go anywhere is if Karl, DiaGem and Jonathan upload an Ocatvia that honks like a Mac Truck!

This Octavia is an upgrade for my SO's 0.82 ct E VVS1 ACA in titanium tension setting, which will go on Craigslist next week, along with a Christian Bauer platinum diamond ring and a 0.83 F VS1 Solasfera in a platinum Gelin Abaci tension setting.
All these plans are Super Duper Top Secret though, and I hope SO doesn't lurk here.

When this set up pic was taken the Octavia was in the house soaking in isopropyl alcohol.
Or maybe that's it on the red flower on the right.
Note Kizzy on the left hoping I'd take her picture.

Dibs on you, my friend.

You''ve got women throwing themselves at you for babysitting services, adopted daughters, second and third wives. . .

OK, so what an amazing upgrade for your SO! Has he seen the Octavia on GOG''s site yet? OMG, he''s going to flip out when you surprise him with it.

Also, if you''d like to email me pics of the rings you''re selling, I know of at least one person who''s looking for around that ct. weight diamond right now, and I think it was your Solasfera I saw in LA? So, yeah, let me know. I may have a buyer for at least one of your diamods from you.

Merry Christmas, Kenny! I hope you have a wonderful Holiday!

Aw shucks LTP, you want little old me too - what am I going to do with all these women? - actually, I think you galz just want my Octavia and then you'll leave me crying in the rain.

Whaaa.

Thanks, I'll email ya info about the goods this weekend.

SO saw an Octavia pic and really went gaga. Who wouldn't?
Also we saw a 1 ct asscher at Costco so he knows they face up small for the weight.

LOL, I can relate. I showed my husband the Octavia and W''s reaction was priceless. Head in his hand, he said "I suppose you want one of those TOO?!?!?"

I think I may have to wait for a milestone anniversary, or perhaps if we ever have kids.

Your pictures have totally sold me, though. I will own one someday, and because I have absolutely no originality, it''ll probably end up in a bezel setting with a bevel. Awwww, dare to dream!

 

[kenny]

Instead of wrapping a bow around the package I used a single diamond to decorate it.
Okay, okay, so it's a CZ.
