No, unfortunately they don't carry any tension settings so I'll need to work with my local GA dealer.

Your ring is going to be so special, so gorgeous when it is finished.
You are one lucky guy.

Spectacular!

 

[isaku5]

Your. Octavia. is. Spectacular!!

 

[lambskin]

I really love that cut. I am a fan of step cuts and this cut really sparkles. IMHO I think this is a far prettier stone than the Ashoka.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Thanks, Cf, crystal, isaku and lambskin...

 

[isaku5]

How many serious offers are you juggling right now, DF?

It is absolutely stunning. Congrats DF!

 

[OoohShiny]

Wow, that looks amazing!

Will you get any work done with that on your finger? lol

Make sure you take lots of photos to cover off any 'worst case scenario' situations where you might need them!

Are you going to swap all the lightbulbs in the house for blacklights? lol

 

[Catmom]

It's as stunning as I knew it would be! I can't wait to see it set. Congratulations DF!

 

[SirGuy]

That's just stunning! The fire shots looks great. What a fun time, getting it after all this anticipation! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more photos and hear your further thoughts.

My FANCY INTENESE NATURAL BLUE diamond!...graded by DF lab...

Great images!

Particularly dig the pictures where the stone is face-up. The fluor looks awesome.

 

[lovefordiamonds]

THAT IS A MASTERPIECE.
It's soooo beautiful! I can't wait to see how you set it!!!

My FANCY INTENESE NATURAL BLUE diamond!...graded by DF lab...

It is amazing, that Yoram, Jon and AGL labs didn't notice it was a fully-natural Fancy Intense Blue diamond, valued in the millions.

Dude, you really scored!

Oh, cool pics too.

 

[msop04]

Wow!! Now that's a STUNNER, DF!!

 

[gregchang35]

WOW!!! Love the new pics!!!

Thanks, guys...I decided to go with the TR-005 Gelin Abaici 500 palladium tension setting.

 

[cflutist]

Sounds good. Did they say how long?
When did you start this Octavia project again?

They say it'll take about 3 weeks for the custom setting. The project started late May, so from start to finish it took about 6 months...

Kewl!

It kills me for paying $1782 for a 50% palladium setting. I'm not into expensive settings.
