I've been seeing a few of these big honkers show up on PS and now they've wiggled their way into my dreams at night, so I've been looking but not expecting to get lucky. I came across one and asked on here about it, but it was quickly sold to someone else while I was trying to learn all I could about OEC's. I just didn't feel like I knew enough to shell out that kind of money.

Fast forward to now, I have the opportunity to pick up a 3.54 ct for a good price (and a great return period). Here's the dimensions:
9.60 x 9.35 x 5.64
J - SI1

Looks eye clean, but I haven't louped it. It's not lab graded, but from looking at a ton of stones it looks like a J si1 to me. I'm not too picky, I'm more of a size lover, but I do want a good cut obviously. The girdle is clean, there is no fisheye from what I can see, and no lazy facets either, but obviously I'd know more once I see it. It's from a place that doesn't specialize in jewellery, but antiques on the whole. I have a grab from a video he emailed me, I know it's small and blurry but it's better than nothing.

I know this is very limited information, but it's all I've got for now!

ETA: The blingy in my avatar isn't the same stone, that is Alice my 2.57 :love:

I have, it's gorgeous :) The one I'm looking at though is significantly lower priced though!
 
I like to think I can tell a fair bit from crappy photos, but that photo is too poor even for me! :lol: Can't help without much better!
 
Yes I think that is the crappiest diamond photo I've ever seen too. Here's a link to the listing, I've decided to skip on this one simply because it's just not much of a size up difference compared to my Alice. So whoever would like to grab it you have my full blessing to snag it! They are willing to do $15,200 on the center diamond alone, free worldwide insured shipping. ;))
