As mentioned on my Rocky Talky thread, my brother proposed to his amazing lady with a 1.51 J VS1 from High Performance just yesterday morning. It's a GORGEOUS stone, and looks great on her hand. I only have ONE hand shot she sent me....and with our weather right now I won't be able to go over and take many more. These were all taken with my iPhone. I have a couple macros I got with my Easy Macro band on my phone, but all are iPhone photos.

Here are some of the photos I took of the loose diamond which was selected by me, approved by my brother, shipped to me for approval (and photos!) and then sent back for a simple setting which may or may not be temporary.

It's really lively, and amazing on her hand. For reference, she wears a 7 1/4 ring size.


a poor shot of the hearts...


a ridiculously embarrassing attempt to shoot through my 30x. and captured a little black fuzzy...woops.

WITH NO SUN! Just overcast daylight!

Comparing to mine for scale and color, though not really a good comparison bec my cut is a different type.



Tried to show about what a size 7 ring was with the ring holder. I have no idea if that finger is a 7.

And the last batch!

Next to mine again for scale:


The most "touching" of the ring I did beyond inspections!



And finally, and most importantly, in it's perfect home.
