I will load the pictures I have. Please let me know what you think of this stone. I can see that the arrows are a teeny bit off, but my budget is pretty low, so I can live with that.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The arrows look fine in that pic - can you get an IS?

It took me a while to figure out how to resize the pics to the right size. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback.

I think the stone is just tilted slightly in some of the pics. Have you been able to see it with your own eyes? I think it looks like a great contender if it is within your budget!

No, I haven''t been able to see it in person. I was wondering if the diamond was tilted a little bit. Anyway, I am going to purchase it.. I guess I just needed a little reassurance that it''s going to be a pretty stone. This journey has been pretty hellish for me... I purchased one that I got last week, but sent it back due to being able to see an inclusion in certain lighting (it drove me crazy!).

Anyway, thanks for your help...

It looks great!!

I think you will be very pleased with this one!

Thanks Lorelei & Ellen! I was hoping that you 2 would show up and give me your advice. I''ve seen both of you help many people on this forum in purchasing the right stones, I really admire your opinion. I love this forum!

Now for the mounting. I have about $650 for a solitaire setting... any suggestions? Gold or platinum?

I appreciate the help.

Thank you for your very kind words, Ellen and I appreciate it very much! And you are most welcome, we are very glad to help!

With the setting, did you want a Tiffany style solitaire?

Judah at Exceldiamonds helped me pick a setting since that is where the diamond is from. I will post pictures when I get the ring. In the meantime, does anyone have pictures of this setting? It''s their 6 prong Tiffany inspired ring (not the really good replica since that wasn''t in my price range

) but that''s okay. I think this one looked really pretty in the picture, but I''d love to see actual pictures of it.

Aw, we sure do. Thank you !

Your ring is going to be really pretty! I did a quick search for that particular setting on here, but didn''t find anyone with it. That doesn''t mean no one does though. If you''re really curious, I''d make a new thread and have the title be specific about the setting.

Please come back with pics for us!
