I actually purchased an ideal RBC but started to think I'd rather go vintage. I can still return for another couple weeks.. What vibe does my set give you? Max CW this can be with modification would be equivalent to 0.6.

Personally, I like the cutting of the stone in the last picture more. I do agree that an old cut stone would look great with that set! But the MRB doesn't look too shabby either. Sorry I'm not help! I love all shinies.

I like the second diamond too! I agree with @AnastasiaBeaverhausen, the RB looks pretty too. I guess I'm not much help either LOL! But I do really like the faceting of the second stone, if you want an old cut I think that one would work really well.

Still waiting on videos of both, but I think I'm leaning towards the 2nd as well. I'm so indecisive I need a push

I ended up chosing the transitional. Although the OEC had a beautiful pattern I feel the diamond was too small to really see the small detail. Not a great video, smudges and under plastic but look at the chunky fire!


Now I'll just have to buy a bigger OEC ;-)

What are the specs on this stone? It is amazing?

No idea! It was ungraded and I decided against grading since it's small. I'll ask the gemologist when I go into my jewler to have it set. Here's the basic...

.49 G color
SI1
5.18-5.09mm

So excited for you! I think the chunky fire will be just gorgeous juxtaposed with the fine millegrain detailing of your set
