Your ring is ultra pretty! But it arrived with some pure packaging ****. Must've made the purchase feel all the more special! And YUMMY, mmm chocolate (please tell me it was dark, I would die!).

(Possibly focusing on the chocolate too much here)

As shown here, it was DARK Chocolate !!!!

Aaaaaand dead!!

Wow. I'm such a side profile girl. I love the side view, and what a rock!

It's gorgeous.

Here is a profile view of my ring.
This is actually one of my favorite pictures showing the profile of the diamond.
One of the reasons I picked this particular mounting is so that I could see this.
It also makes it very easy to clean.

Beautiful. The diamond looks very crisp and elegant in that setting.

I swear this CBI diamond is a fireball. A couple of times I could see a prism of spectral hues from the side, just unbelievable.

Finally got some sun this morning where my hubby could get some dispersion aka "fire" pictures with his DSLR camera:

Cflutist -- I'm late to this thread but I'm IN AWE of this ring! It's so, so lovely and perfect and icy white and elegant in its simplicity! I love the profile view of the head, too. Congrats!!!!

Ex shots of how a well cut RB stone should look under the sun, dark looking very similar to this shot of my wife's stone.

Yes somewhere is a thread explaining why these superIdeal, H&A, AGS0 diamonds go dark in the sun. Love your wife's diamond as well. Doesn't she have three of them? Or was that four?

She have two solitaires. This 1.15ct was recut by Infinity through Wink. It was a flat top ugly 60/60 1.49ct stone, then after the recut by Infinity AGS graded the stone I VS2 ideal 0 cut..

Thank you very much Heidi.
CBI diamonds are cut to so much precision that it grows on me each day.
It is amazing to me that it performs in so many different lighting conditions.

Thank you, it's a beauty. I'm thinking of pairing it up with a same sized D-VS WF stone I have here, and bringing the bypass ring into the modern world.

Your ring is ultra pretty! But it arrived with some pure packaging ****. Must've made the purchase feel all the more special! And YUMMY, mmm chocolate (please tell me it was dark, I would die!).

(Possibly focusing on the chocolate too much here)

As shown here, it was DARK Chocolate !!!!

Aaaaaand dead!!

My favorite shots are the profile, the diffused daylight- , and the shots of you with your hands on your flute- just an elegant and fantastic ensemble.

When did you buy your CBI diamond? I bought my FIY bracelet and pendant from Wink in July and didn't get any chocolates.
I would assume that they would melt during the summer months.
I'm sure if you called him now, that he would send you some.

I would be curious to see and to hear your impressions of your CBI and WF ACA in your finished bypass ring.

When we bought my brothers Value Select for my SIL we got some chocolate. I made sure I stole none of it.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am still enjoying this diamond everyday and am
amazed on how it performs in all lighting conditions.
I have some pictures of it throwing off dispersion in a darkened theater on a cruise ship
that I will post in the future if I post a follow-up thread.
