I realized over time with diamonds, there is always another 'unicorn'...Two years later, I found current stone, which I call my 'super unicorn'. But having lost out on the 2.8 I VS2 did make me pull the trigger MUCH faster on my current stone.
Early on I used to look for packages and was relatively indifferent on supplier; I missed some bags I wanted because I didn't know the seller well enough to put it on hold, I also had one seller drop-sell me a sold package which really frustrated me as drop selling is a big no-no in rough Opal trading here in Australia regardless of the availability.
Nowadays I've got a reliable supplier who only shows me stones he will sell to me, usually stock that he hasn't got listed so it never gets bought out from underneath me and I'm happy with the quality most of all. So I don't chase other sellers with advertised packages anymore as I discovered early that it's too much of a gamble on a stone that is colloquially known as gamblestone among cutters
There was this beautiful Art Deco ring at a local jewelry shop and I was like a moth to the flame. They had it for a year and I would go up and look at it and try it on pretty often. I decided to get it myself and my boyfriend now husband said no I want to get it for you and he went back and it was gone. I was so devastated, it was the jeweler said antique cushion cut but I think it could be old mine it was about 1.25-1.50 ct. I still look for one similar, I loved that ring. I’ve never seen one like it. It was 10 years ago so the pics aren’t very good. Is there a place to post to see if other might have seen so thin like it?
