Well, first off thankyou for the kind remarks of this ring. I could not have done it without all the extensive reading i did on this forum to get a great idea on all of the 4C's, prereqs for a good asscher, and just solid advice that was given by many who were looking to buy or who have bought asschers. Eyes, eyes, eyes is one thing that was a must in my opinion. I had the setting made from diamondsourceone in manhattan got frustrated at looking at asschers and didnt buy one the week i had my futures setting done. Came back 2 months later prepared and had set appointments with Mark T. of engagementringsdirect.com Very good to work with and brought in the stones that i had looked up from vendors from the specs that i wanted chose those out of the 8 stones i looked at specs from. Think 1 was sold 2 were out and well i chose out of the others and there was only one that i didnt consider and it was H color because it was H and i knew it was cause accourse i was told would have never known till the paper test. He took me from all angles, paper tests, light tests, sunlight window looking, loupe and all inclusions, idea scope, appraising, getting my diamond set from someone with me there never leaving my sight. Came down to 3 a d, f, and g i would have been estatic over any of the 3 and could not make up my mind whatsoever. I would have been happy blindfolded on a choosing from the leftover 3. But i chose the F and omg does it shine everwhere like little prisms all over in everyplace that ive brought it out to look. I wish the photos looked better but its 2mp camera and im not a photographer. It is a perfect 1 to 1 ratio 58 table 68.5 depth if i remember right no culet no flourescent. gia certified so im going off the top of my head. but all i looked at were the same tables and 68-69 depth and 1-1 ratio just the carats sizes were different. Mark T did a great job on getting what i wanted and weeded out what i didnt want. I highly reccomend will buy my futures band from there as well just not foruse if i want same looking band or solid for her. Thankyou all if any questions ill break out my Gia certificate and answer. Its F 1.22 vs2 tw i guess 1.97 or 2.02 i have two different appraisals on the band .75 and .80 of E-F color round brilliants who knows but im happy!
Thankyou so much!!! Yeah, its different and got told a million times but I like it. Its simple but diamonds are same color and they are 10 pointers and they just are the right bling bling factor and then the firecracker gets them cause i can tell you from Storm they do have every color of the rainbow just a firing off of them.
Cymbrie and Indecisive they cant go wrong off of this forum they will find their dream asschers.
Tierhog explore explore got to trust my man! I didnt but you know i could have if i could have got it through my mind just about all my choices were good but i just needed to see! If you catch my drift!
Love you guys and gals THANKYOU SO MUCH for the kind remarks!!!
