So the youngest son is getting engaged this Friday! The plan was for an ACA with pear sides but the bride went shopping with her mom and found her dream setting on consignment. DS wanted to make her happy but the setting was half his budget. Not listening to mom, he only had a smaller budget for a 7x5 emerald cut. After checking with the experts, he could not raise the budget another $3000 so Christina at James Allen worked with what we have and got us a GIA 1.02 I VS2 that will do for now. To the eye it looks great. In photo you can see the light leakage , but the bride knows nothing about diamonds and DS can replace or upgrade in time for the wedding. Thanks to everyone that contributed!
