Tell me about your Ideal/Super Ideal diamonds

@the_mother_thing wow! Your new diamond is stunning!:love: I am so happy for you and that you followed your instincts. The diamond is gorgeous and so white facing. Beautiful find! I can’t wait to see how you decide to set it:)
 
it's gorgeous! I totally know what you mean. My "I" ACA has a bad habit of looking more tinted in photos than to my eyes. Must be a reflection of my phone case (gold)?

Get silver next time! lol! My case is pink and I won't make that mistake again! Silver, gray, or white from here on out!

My phone’s case is black, and my iPad Pro case is dark gray, so they both have the same affect - reflecting darkness in stones that is not really visible to my eyes/in person. It IS frustrating! :nono:

Thank you so much! I’m glad I went with my gut as well and felt pretty confident after reading so much input from others’ on here re: WF and their standards for ES as well as those who have/love K’s. I really am pleased with its performance in all light settings that I’ve viewed it in so far; will see how it looks in the car this evening when I head out.

As far as setting, I pretty much have the design drawn up and I am ready to pull the trigger after I talk it over with hubby tonight ... because it’s likely a completely from-scratch cu$tom setting. :whistle::pray:
 
Congrats, gorgeous stone!!!!
 
Your diamond is gorgeous. I am so excited for you.
 
You are free to ask WF to duplicate my semi-custom Tiffany repro setting--it has been used as a reference for several other PS'ers as well.:wavey:
Hi there! I have looked through several threads for the dimensions of your AVC. Could you kindly pass specs along to me? I'm trying to figure out the best ratio for my new project and I am drooling over yours! :)
 
Just an update: I heard from Sholdt yesterday and they advised that the ring cast for me did not yield a good result, so they are recasting it, and the new timeline is next week sometime for it to be completed. I’m a little bummed as I’m super ready to see and wear my diamond but on the flip side, I’m glad their QC process is stringent enough to ensure my ring is perfect when I receive it.

Can’t wait to see it!
 
Pretty exciting! I can't wait to see it.
 
Waiting with anticipation for you! Can you share any drawings/cads of your custom setting design? Would love to see! Thank you for sharing your journey! I'm glad you got the diamond of your dreams!
