The ugliest yet most beautiful gem. Diamond cluster

2BDCB54B-B944-49E0-A910-FCDBD18F1E68.jpeg Here is my diamond. It is 790 carats and ready to be set in a ring. Or do you think it will be too ostentatious?

In all seriousness, is that by chance a paper weight? I would love to get one for my desk when we move and I have a new home office that has greatnatural light. That one looks great, almost like a jubilee cut.

It needs a halo.

It is actual a top quality CZ that a gem cutter did, it has an astonishing number of facets. It’s really rather impressive, especially from a skill and patience perspective. I bought it years ago now.
But yes, you can buy similiar glass or crystal “diamonds” as display items or paperweight. Baccarat did some lovely quality lead crystal ones a while ago , others are just glass. I’ve seen them in clear, pink and pale blue.

In all seriousness, it really is impressive! The facet pattern is beautiful. I can’t imagine how long it must’ve taken to cut this thing!
 
@Bron357 that is way cool; thx for sharing! Maybe I will ask for one for Mother’s Day. :think: :love:

My bad! No hearts and arrows and the HCA tool like my scale, won’t co- operate.
I overpaid too.

Jubilee cut? Or Portuguese?
 
I was guessing Portuguese
 
Well, thanks for the popcorn! and since I'm 78.6% from the British Isles we have much in common I'd say ;-)


Sit over here by me . . . I brought popcorn! :mrgreen2:

No problem - put it up on Loupe Troop.

And have you added it to the '5+ carat' thread yet? Or are you waiting for someone to start a 500+ ct thread? I could always add it to the PS Hall of Fame thread.

Y'allz are such meanies! :nono:

These are the dayz of politically correctness and equal rights. :appl:
Every rock has the right to be a diamond too.

There is no place for gemological bigotry on PS. :hand: :naughty:

:snooty: Only if the GIA/AGS cert fits!
 
Only snobs bother with gem grading reports.
After all, love conquers all, and "all that matters is you love it", and other garbage I've read here on PS. :roll: :nono:

Over a billion people believe a virgin had a baby, so why so be closed minded about this amazing huge diamond?
This being a diamond is arguably equally plausible to the billion+ who have transcended requiring evidence to believe something absurd.

I’m not close minded; I suggested they may be Herkimers. :mrgreen2:

What Would Drew Do?:think:
 
Careful with your teeth.
In this thread, your popcorn kernels are real diamonds.
Ouch! I'd better floss very carefully tonight.
 
It wasn't meaning actual birth. He didn't know who he was when he chose what he chose or else his entire life would've been predetermined which would make it false never standing up to the test of time but wither the first obstacle.
 
:doh:WT actual F?:confused:
