WF Studs in Handmade Martini Settings 1.66tcw Pics

[October2008bride]

OMG I''m so excited!! I just received the pictures from WF of my birthday/anniversary studs!!!

I started searching for these a while back, keeping my eyes open for the right size with the right price and about 3 weeks ago, I noticed this little ACA:

0.83 carats, I, SI2
Depth 61.1%
Table 57%
Crown angle 35.0
Pavilion angle 40.8

6.01-6.03x3.68

I fell in love. It was way bigger than I expected to get and only a teeny tiny little bit out of our price range. Sad part was, there wasn''t an affordable match.

Lucky for me, Sheerah and Vera at WF were on the hunt, and soon enough, this little guy was brought to my attention:

. Shape: Whiteflash ACA
. Carat: 0.830
. Depth %: 61.3
. Table %: 55.3
. Crown Angle: 34.8
. Crown %: 15.5
. Star : 54
. Pavilion Angle: 40.7
. Pavilion %: 42.9
. Lower Girdle %: 77
. Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted
. Measurements: 6.05-6.08X3.72

It was like a match made in heaven!!

So we wired the money, and started waiting.

Here are the pics of the stones side by side:

You know, I have no idea. Once I get these, I will take comparison shots for sure.

[tyty333]

They are beautiful!!! Can you look at the picture and tell which one is the ACA? I''m just curious if you can tell
a difference. Lots of pics when you get them...dont make us wait till Sept!

 

[Lorelei]

THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UCLABelle]

Oh how lovely and classic. I can''t wait for earshots!!!

 

[monarch64]

Lovely! WHY do you have to wait until September? Can''t you celebrate your birthday/anniversary on Saturday? It''s only like two months away...................

 

[Black Jade]

You will love them so much!
I have whiteflash earrings, mine are 1.81 ctw, ACA, H VS2 and I think yours are very similar diamonds. I did not get the handmade setting (because I would have had to get less of a diamond), and I did not get martinis (didn''t suit my ears). Mine were a birthday present, too. I got them last Oct and I still ADORE them. Enjoy yours in good health!

They do BEAUTIFUL work at WF and are so pleasant to work with also. And I believe you get a good deal for very high-end stuff--I looked all over and saw nothing comparable for the price of mine (I''m still thankful for all the help I got on P''scope at that time).

Oh I''m sorry - I never properly told the story. They are BOTH ACA stones!!! We never ended up bringing in another stone...they had one in house!

The first one is actually a trade in from the lovely Shimmer - I realized that when I was searching the AGS#.

Oh you are telling me!! I think it is more for the sake of my friends and family - they will all make comments about not waiting etc.

Even though hubby got his anniversary gift already and is using them!

I will definitely take lots of pictures when I receive them!! I got a phone call from FedEx that they have arrived and are awaiting pickup!!

Thanks Jade! I had actually seen your thread when searching for stud pictures!! Yours are beautiful! Did you ever post ear shots?

I went with WG settings, so the difference in price between the regular martini and the handmade was only 50 dollars, so I didn''t think that was so bad.

very nice! can''t wait to see them dance on the lobe!
