Three Crafted by Infinity diamonds!
.767 G VS2
.36 H VS1
.36 G VS2
These are destined for a five-stone ring for me, in celebration of an upcoming "milestone birthday." I’m working with Wink and Melissa from High Performance Diamonds (HPD) on this project. Wink and Melissa called in the last two stones for the 5-stone (two .36 carat, H VS2 CBI stones), and I'm patiently -- haha -- waiting to receive them so we can get started on the setting design. I haven’t decided on a setting style yet (suggestions welcome), but I'm leaning toward something similar to eXistenia’s (in platinum, not rose gold) https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/pretty-in-pink-bgd-5-stone-u-prong.140376/.
I am so very happy to be working with Wink and Melissa again, and to be back in the Crafted by Infinity (CBI) family!
Wink sent me videos for each of the stones, which was helpful.

But what really sold me on these three stones is when Wink set up a video conference with me so that I could see all three stones together "live" on camera. These stones are very similar in proportions (table size, depth, crown height, lower halves, etc.), but what is really amazing is that the three stones are nearly identical in patterning and scintillation. That "identicalness" showed up on the video, and it is visible in person.
John Pollard was kind enough to send me the IS, ASET, Stars, and still photos of the stones, which I'll post later. First, some photos that I took. Alas, it's been several years since I've photographed diamonds, so my photo skills are a little rusty.
