Receive stone from JA - follow up on my D VS2 purchase

[GemmaEdet]

Hi All,


http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/D-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1238137.asp

Last time I talked about my unfortunate of custom charging me extra custom tax for loose diamond, well, I finally get to see the diamond tonight.
After two weeks - one week of JA getting the IS picture, another week of dealing with custom, still unsolved though

The stone is amazing, really sparkling. Way much more sparkling than the previous E VS1 I had to return to BN.
Thanks to Loreilei and stone-cold !

well.. here''s the drill.....

.. after careful examination of looking at this amazing stone up and down for an hour.. i was happy to confirm no inclusions at all from the side view, bottom view.. hmm.. there, here it is, when the light comes from the side / back, I can see the tiny tiny inclusions with my naked eyes

it looks like a tiny white scratch/tiny white hair - as the inclusions are white feather, so.. it''s invisible from the top when light shines from the face, as it bends with the reflection. I tried... i turned around the diamond a couple times, and look at it again to check if i could catch up anything.. - nothing

Well, i think this is as best as I could get.. !!!
..gonna have another reality check tomorrow when it''s on the normal lighting, to make sure I can''t see that tiny scratch.
Overall, I am totally blown away by this tiny fellow. its light performance, it''s sparkling like mad ! and it''s beautiful color !

Hhaha... Congrats.

Anyway, are you sure you are not OCD? Once mounted you will not be able to see the bottom view anyway so why bother looking from the bottom? Here's to hopping you won't see anything in the morning.

It sounds like a beautiful stone...dont go getting all paranoid about some little scratch that you
saw once after staring for 20 minutes. Once its mounted you wont see anything right? It will
be beautiful with all that sparkle! How do you plan on setting it?

haha.. What is OCD ?
... tried this morning... stared at it for another 10 min ( late for work due to it ). can''t see it.

...... i know if i use a loup, and remove it, i will be able to see it, and will kill it.
so have been resisting the temptation!!!.

Will need to be 100% sure before Sat, when I will go to get the setting done.

Nervous.. !!! Nervous !!!

Thanks ! tyty333 !
Yup.. have decided setting long way back.. setting will be very very simple, low setting - 4 claws, frm the side view will be a ''V'', with half of profile clearlly seen from the side...

My current 0.26ct engagement will be changed to a simple platunum wedding band of 25 mm, and one stud earring.
So I get to keep everything
