Hi Ladies

Quick top ten update for you! My bf and I purchased a oec from Fortekitty through the pre-owned forum and it arrived yesterday! God it is beautiful I can't wait to have it on my hand.

Dust please so that he doesn't make me wait too long?

Yay! Can't wait to see it set and on your finger.

Jeez, with all of these top 10 people getting engaged I'm going to be in the top ten before I get my ring, and that's only a month or two away!

Yay!! I eyed that OEC for soooo long! I adore it. Congrats! Are you going to leave it set as is or are you guys changing the setting? (it was set, right? I was always so distracted by the yummy stone I hardly remember now!)

"Jeez, with all of these top 10 people getting engaged I'm going to be in the top ten before I get my ring, and that's only a month or two away!"

I think he's going to make me wait a bit longer then that unfortunately but I really, really hope not!

Audball - it did come in a setting but it doesn't fit me and I've been in love with the amcor vintage fishtail setting that Dreamer has with her OEC. It's a super reasonable price so I think I'm going to go with that.

I do adore bezels and was thinking of that but it is ever so slightly out of round and I was worried a bezel would accentuate that. It measures 5.95 x 6.18 I believe. What do you think?

It's actually 6.05 x 6.25 x 3.80, according to Charles Carmona! My calipers were measuring everything too small.

In hand does it look visually out of round enough that you think a bezel would bother you? A semi bezel may give you the bezel effect without making it look too round. How is the girdle on this stone?

always great to discover something is bigger than you thought!

What are you setting plans - do you have a photo /link? Congratulation on getting a gorgeous diamond! I purchased an OEC from Dreamer and have decided this is a new fascination with me!

Congrats on your new diamond

Fortekitty! Hi! So glad to hear it, I forgot to ask you on the phone the other day. I'm not surprised to hear that as I couldn't see anything but round when I look at it. I had it out playing with it in the sun today and it flashed light all over the place

Am def considering a bezel then if I don't go with the fishtail prong setting.

And yes - I was very happy to find out it was bigger then we thought!

Hi titian! Did you ever decide on a setting for this lovely stone!? I hope your engagement is soon! Please check in, I don't want to see you removed from the list!
