[Jelly]

Oh wow, that is one of the most amazing diamonds I have seen here on PS! Lovely!

 

[Rachel9]

Magnificent beauty, congrats!

I was thinking the same thing when Kenny first posted. Kenny''s diamond should actually have its own folder!

I suspect a competing vendor didn't want the diamond-shopping eyeballs of Rocky Talk (where it got 1020 views [2040 eyeballs] before the move) to see it.
"Follow the money", as they say.

I don't blame them.
A star is born.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

One more reason to move to CA...so that I can be in the same state as that!

I''ve actually never really liked asschers before (please don''t hurt me), but the Octavia is an absolutely stunning work of art and in its own class!

Congrats congrats, can''t wait to see the ring!

 

[Siamese Kitty]

Christmas came early, eh? I knew you''d be the first, Kenny! And rightfully so.

I can''t wait to see it set-what an amazing stone! And how cool is it to say you have one of the first ever cut?

 

[luckynumber]

YOWZA!!!!!

How have I missed this for so long??

Kenny, I''m young and flexible and my boyfriend hasn''t asked me to marry him yet....

seriously dude, that is one beeaaauutiful stone!!!!!

 

[kenny]

The new diamond was an enormous hit as a gift.
He kept saying it looks like an opening flower.
His family, with whom we spent Christmas, went gaga over it.
It being the first ever sold made it even more special.
On the nightime drive home on the freeway we held it up and pointed it back at the headlights behind us and it was even more bilngy than the ACA-which is an astonishing feat for an asscher.

1.34 H VS2 Octavia next to the diamond being upgraded, an 0.82 E VVS1 ACA (sorry, not too clean).

 

[kenny]

Don't worry, I was infinitely gentle so the diamonds could not scratch each other and placed it straight down so they never even slid against each other.
I just rotated the pic 90 degrees because it looked cool.

The 0.52 carat difference in weight is more apparent in a side view.
H on the left; E on the right.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Just read through this entire thread. Amazing stone!!! I am normally not an asher fan either (forgive me), but I love this stone.

Oh my gosh another lady ripping my clothes off. Blush Blush.
Hey DF, could you use a few extra women?

Ladies, DF may not have an Octavia, but he's got a cool watch.

 

[Gailey]

So Kenny, how did your gift go over? Give us the story ....

 

[Bliss]

Wow.

Just that. Wow.

Glad he liked it and it put a smile on his face!!!!
That is one huge reason that I do this, to bring joy to others and to have a hand in creating loving memories for others.
Congrates!!!!

 

[yssie]

Congratulations again, Kenny and Karl

That''s such a sweet gift

, and it looks huge next to the E!!

 

[katamari]

Kenny, you are the best gift giver ever! I am so glad that you were the first Octavia owner (or purchaser, as it were).

And, Karl, WOW!

 

[charbie]

i honestly just gasped. i''ve never seen anything like it.

i, too, would like to lick it.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Haha, can someone explain the urge to lick Octavia?

I bet your SO can''t wait to be able to wear it! Do come back with handshots galore!

 

[kenny]

We have noticed some new inclusions in the Octavia that were not on the GIA report, but we love these inclusions.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

BWAHAHAHA!!! That''s priceless.

Are those yours kenny?

If ever under a loupe, I spied the crystalline forms of 2 cute puppies, I would have to buy that diamond on the spot

Oh Yes indeedie!
They are in my Puppy Love thread.

 

[Squirrly]

and just when i thought octavia couldn''t get any better, it got puppies. bling and furballs, what more could anyone want?

and i have no idea about the licking octavia urges. unless of course this is wonkavision.

 

[Luckyeshe]

Beautiful diamond, Kenny! I especially love the two adorable inclusion! I can''t wait to see hand shots once Octavia is in her home!

 

[CaliSun]

WOWWWW!!!
I just read this whole thread and had to share my Congrats!! What an amazing stone. How wonderful of you to give it as a gift!!

And I agree with you completely, Kenny - Karl really is a genius. That cut is amazing and totally mesmerizing.

 

[JoeNewbie11]

Hey Kenny,

Congrats on the Octavia purchase and your photos look amazing.

Curious how you would compare the Octavia to your other amazing Asscher? This would definitely be a case study because you have a top notch Asscher and the new Octavia. Would love to hear an indepth analysis of the two.

Happy New Year.

 

[radiantquest]

Kenny, you on the top of my favorite list of PSers. You are clever, and funny and clearly you have taste since you jumped on this Octavia.The reason most of all that you are my favorite is because you gave that beautiful diamond to someone you love. That is the sweetest thing ever. Your SO is very lucky.

Congrats again!

 

[ChargerGrrl]

KENNY!! How did I ever miss this thread??

Congrats on your Octatvia- it''s truly stunning! You''ve done a fabulous job capturing it in your pics, but cannot wait to see it in person. We must plan a GTG in the new year!
