Showing off my friend's 1.23ct G SI1 CBI ring.

[Dancing Fire]

My friend gave me a budget to shop for a ring for his wife, so I went on Wink's HPD website and spotted this G SI1 CBI stone within his budget. I gave Wink a call and he said it is a newly cut stone and still at AGSL grading lab, but it should be in his office within a week or so. He insisted to ship me the stone for me to look see, but I told him I have full confidence with the performance of CBI stones. I said as long as the stone is eye clean then that is all it matters.

I received the ring this morning and of course Wink didn't disappoint!!.. The stone is mounted on a size 5.5 six prong claw setting by Stuller. His benchman did an Ex. job with the claws and polishing the PT. setting to a very high standard..

A special thanks to Wink and Melissa for their Ex. service...

Here are some pics of this beautiful ring. The ring sparkle much better IRL. ..

Yup, me too!, IMO, if it is gonna be a surprise gift then a classic solitaire would be the safest bet.

His wife was sporting the ring at lunch today. I even cleaned her ring while we were having lunch... score one for Wink and CBI... . They know nothing about diamonds. I told them CBI is the Kobe beef of diamonds...

Funny, My friend is a card dealer at a casino and many of the customers say they needed to wear sunglasses when they play at her table... I say of course, b/c I know how to pick a beautiful diamond!...
