I purchased a 10th anniversary upgrade diamond and setting the other day from DCD based on lots of great things that I''ve heard on the forum. It will be here on Thursday most likely and I''m obsessing over this ring and everytime something remotely related to "diamond-speak" get mentioned (i.e. the roots of a tree being "girdled") my mind starts spinning and I wonder what the ring will look like and if I did the right thing.
I posted the specs earlier on my center stone (ags 1.245 ideal cut rb). Like an idiot, I forgot to ask for the firescope images prior to ordering the stone and now it''s too late since it''s already at the setter. I also didn''t have the stone sent to the appraiser first. I didn''t realize that set stones were not able to be as extensively evaluated....
Anyways, I''m sure that I will love the ring and my experience with DCD has been good thus far, although it wasn''t like the heavens opened and Jim Schultz dropped down a diamond for me like some experiences some other PSers have had.
My whole conversation with Josh lasted around 10 minutes since I was convinced I had found a great stone. There wasn''t a whole lot to say, except, "it''s great." It scored 0.7 on the HCA tool and was part of their Signature Series Ideal Cut stones.
To make a long story short, I''m just ruminating, but when I look at pictures of the stone it looks funny (assymetrical?) Do you think it''s just a bad picture? How could it score so well if it was really off?
I actually can''t believe I am posting this. I should just wait for the ring to come, but since I have two days to obsess....here it is. What do you think?

What's important was that we avoided having to purchase at Tiffany's.
