I traded in my 2.60ct H VS1 for this 2.62ct G VS1 . I was able to reuse the same tension setting from Bruce Boone since this stone is the same diameter as my 2.60ct stone. Bruce repolished and re-engraved the ring with the new AGS report #s on the bottom of the ring. He charged next to nothing for the job.

Here's the AGS report along with a few hand shots of the ring...

I too am wondering if the difference is worth the hassle.

Nice stone and ring though, of course!

From perfect to perfect! Beautiful and great everything worked out so well.

Out of curiosity:

Do you see the difference, and if so in which situations especially?
IDK yet, b/c I just received the ring this morning and I Haven't had the chance to look under different lighting conditions.

Take your time but you know we want a detailed report about G vs H and the higher crown on this stone. Otherwise, we probably will have to tell your wife. . .it might not be pretty.

I'm so curious about the color difference as well! I have an H on hold but keep second guessing myself. Luckily I'm having it sent to me to see in person, but I'm so antsy to see what you think.

Yep, we are twins too! Our specs are just about identical - yours is 9 points bigger than mine. Can't wait to hear your thoughts - especially compared to your last stone!

Wake up already in CA!!

Awesome! I'm super curious. What made you upgrade colour? Was the H bothering you? Or were there other reasons? You obviously don't have to answer if you don't wish to. :))

I'm also super impressed you could use the same setting, I thought tension settings were a one time only deal. So that's awesome!

This is a very impressive diamond and a super cool setting. I, too, am so happy I don't have to share my "bling bucks" with my husband. Congratulations on your upgrade.
