I'm keeping MY stone 
I spent about 4 hours today, saw the best that was to be seen here... the only thing that was equal to my stone was a 2.56 carat round from tiffanys that was $66k. And it wasn't better. The scint/fire was equal. The tiff diamond was more uniform under the table where as mine has a variety of types of scint from the tiniest of pinfire to the broadest of broadfire (and everything in between hehehe) Apparently my stone really rocks. I'll just have to get over the quirks. one jeweler who looked at it under a microscope said that he'd *never* seen a stone with such ideal symmetry before and that the cut was beyond excellent. I saw a 2.4 carat ideal round that was almost as good and a 2.04 carat ben bridge signature something or other ($37k) with 8 extra pavillion facets and while that had ENORMOUS scint/fire it was all small and extremely uniform which however lovely would be boring to me after a few minutes. After walks in the park and grocery store with my stone I was really starting to love its unique beauty, but after seeing it face to face with the best stones I could find in Portland, I have to say that generally it was at least as good, was almost as good in *even* scint and was superior in variety of scint by bushels. So yeah, I'm totally sold. Two jewelers told me I should keep the one I have rather than pay more for one of theirs because they were honestly impressed with it. None of the jewelers could find the inclusions... even with the loupe and the GIA cert... And when I think about the moonlight rainbows I get, yeah it's done, I'm done, I'm off the market, I'm getting married to my rock Yay me!!!
Now, I have to design the setting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and she has a name... Gemini For her split personality! lol Gem -n- I hehehe
