The diamond I bought [Opinions?] (WARNING ~120KB of pics)

[garypetro]

Here are a few pictures I took this morning after the stone arrived. Some of them aren''t the clearest, but they should give a fairly good impression.

Stats:
Laboratory: EGL
Carat Weight: 1.06
Color: I
Clarity: SI2
Shape: Round Brilliant
Depth: 60.5%
Table: 57%
Crown: 13.1%
Pavilion: 44.3%
Polish: GD
Symmetry: GD
Culet: None
Girdle: Thin to Medium, Faceted
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 6.67x6.64x4.03

I am very pleased with the stone as it is completly eyeclean face-up and the only inclusion I can see is a slight white feather that will be invisible as the stone will be rim mounted in a reproduction antique platinum setting with 26 1 or 2 pt diamonds.

Cool pictures. Gary!

I love the one with loose diamond

Did you take them yourself?

Yes I did

I took advantage of the sunlight and used my 2 Megapixel Canon S10 in Macro Mode. There are at least 10 that didn't turn out at all for lack of focus on the diamond.

Wow! Very professional looking pictures, Gary.

I found it difficult to get a good looking picture of a diamond on a light background.

Congratulations with your stone and the ring - they look stunning
