I'm still in awe that I am the owner of this beautiful diamond! :love:

I worked with Adam from OWD and it couldn't have been a better experience! I'm sure I was annoying him with the many many emails I sent. He would email me back literally seconds after I would email him and even email me after hours and his days off! Now that's customer service! Adam assured me this stone was gonna be a knockout and that once, I see it, I'm gonna fall in love. And I did! It is everything that I ever dreamed of!

I asked Adam for a stone that was reminiscent of Mara's 3.33ct honker. He knew exactly what stone I was talking about when I told him! I absolutely love the faceting on her stone. He told me this stone had similar characteristics.

Before I purchased the diamond, I inquired on how much it would cost to have my prongs made into claw prongs. I felt that my original prongs were a little bulky and my Tacori warranty had long expired and I wasn't necessarily satisfied with Tacori's prong work...when he replied back he came back with on the house!
On top of that, once I received the diamond, I noticed that it had some surface scratches. I passed on my concern to Adam and he said he would gladly polish those scratches out for me before he set it

Stats:
Carat Weight: 1.93
Color: L
Clarity: VS1
Measure: 7.95*7.82*5.11
Cert: GIA
Depth: 64.8
Table: 46
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Fair
Girdle: tn
Flourescence: N/A
Culet: Slightly Large

The pictures do not do it justice. I just can't seem to get the right pictures to show how amazing the faceting is on this diamond. The rainbows of colors and the pastels take my breathe away. Sometimes it faces up so much whiter than an L. I love that it has some warmth. The contrast between the G/H melee and the L is so so pretty. It's like vintage lace coupled with white satin.

Did I leave anything out? I'm so excited! :lol:

On to the pics. Just did a quick photoshoot!

The set is stunning! I mean, I'm almost speechless. In most of your pictures, I would never even know the stone was an L color. It seems so unique to me because you've got an OEC with step cut side stones and also in the band. It's like old world meets new world. I would have never paired the two in my mind but the combination is amazing. You've done a really nice job done with it. Congratulations!

HOLY MOLEY!!! YayTacori - that diamond and the setting is AWESOMELYBLINGALICIOUSNESS and looks fan-freakin'-tastic on you!!!!!
:love: :appl: :love:

Droolworthy for SURE - I'm in jealous heaven looking at it!!! And a big WHOOP WHOOP to the 9.5 finger size!!! Those of us with 'less -delicate' fingers need to stand by each other! :bigsmile:

It sounds like a fantastic experience you had with OWD - did you already have that setting or did Adam find it for you? Do they carry settings? I just thought they were older diamonds.

SO MANY RAINBOWS! pastels! You name it. There's pink and blue and yellow, and greens. And to me, these are all prominent to my naked eye.

And, I do have a profile shot, I forgot!

Thank you Mikla. I was kinda apprehensive about the step cuts plus the old cut but I'm so glad I went with it! And I absolutely LOVE the L color. Just enough of warmth to make the diamond PoP!

Thank you Enerchi! You're too kind! The setting is something I picked up in early 2010 a little after I joined PS. Hence the pave underneath. ( the rubbing :( ) but I still love it and I'm so happy I finally have a diamond in it! It's been a Lon time coming! I keep telling DH to subtly bring up my ring to people so that I can show it off!

Breathtaking! I love -love- love the combination of cuts and the L is fantastic, I love warner colours but yours shows up so white in these phots, Im sure in real life it changes as you get the delicious pastels, congratualtions on your new stone, enjoy gettimg to know her ( or him?!)

You're so cute YayTacori :lol:

Become a hand talker or casually point at stuff - that usually works :naughty: :cheeky: (not that I do that IRL ;)) )

LOL at Hoover - also have an imaginary speck of dirt in your eye that needs removal with your left hand or make sure you use that hand to pick up glassware for a drink! :lol:

In all seriousness though, congratulations. Your ring is just gorgeous - it's no wonder you're over the moon! :love:

Now when I someday call Adam I'll say I want one like Mara's honker and YayTacori's honker! It's divine!

You carry it so beautifully, stone and setting look perfect on your finger. It also fits its box - so exciting to lift the lid!

Thank you! It actually usually looks white or this wonderful creamy ivory. But when it does become warmer, yes! the pastels come out and play! When the diamond was loose, I leaned towards him but now I dunno... I'm torn!

Here's a pic of the MOST it ever gets on the warm side


Skippy Diamndseeker2006 Orchid LeiTuckins1- Thanks so much!
