Please keep your fingers crossed for me that one of them will be the one!! But thanks to you all, I am definitely not going to rush this decision. Want to make sure I'm 100% sure about a stone!
I just returned the stone today and I actually don't feel too sad about it because the jeweler said there are a couple more options coming in that may be contenders! I am hoping to see photos next week!
David Klass. He is a someone who a a lot of PS folks use for custom pieces, which I assume you would need to do if you want unplated. He's in LA, so you'd have to ship your stone to him, which some people don't like to do. But there is the thread in Show me the Bling called "show me your David Klass Bling". For some reason I can't get it to link correctly, but if you look for it, you will find. it.
He's got an IG page too. And you could always email and ask them if they have anything showing the different colors of gold that they use. I generally use
platinum for white metal, but I do have this one ring with his 14k white gold (the stone is a GIA K).
Im so proud of you for following your heart! We loved her, but your diamond should make your heart skip a beat every time you look at her
Definitely keep us in the loop when you hear from them on other options! If you decide you are open to other vendors, let us know. It will give me something to work on this weekend instead of what I have planned… taking my oven apart and cleaning it
Maybe only 95% and not 100%!
This gives you time to get an ASET scope if you want to. I ordered mine over the weekend and it arrived today. It's only $50 and might give you peace of mind on cut quality. I was a bit worried that it would be hard to use but I instantly found it super easy (way easier than a loupe) and it's been fun to go through all of my jewelry looking at the diamonds.
@maryjane04 @newtojewels @lulu_ma I got a video of some other options already and I need your help!
From left to right the colors are: H, I, L (my original L!!), J
I can't lie, the sparkle of the L caught my eye first as my fave in the faceting! Which one of the other ones do you think sparkle similarly? I almost feel like the J is too chubby! Maybe this is telling me I do truly like the L

Ok the J is definitely not worth the upcharge!
What are the measurements of the H and what’s your ring size?
I want to play around with diamdb.com
Sounds to me like you should take a look at the H-hopefully your jeweler can hold the L a smidge longer.
And can't get the H in person until maybe Tuesday! I am so stressed!
My ring size is a 5 ¾ and the measurements are 8.85mm x 8.25mm x 5.03mm (61% depth!) Does it being shallower impact how it sparkles a lot?
I think I only have until Monday to decide if I want the L or not.
L is 9.11 x 8.58 x 6.04 mm

Okay, I hope this link works:
2.6ct Cushion (8.85×8.25×5.03) vs 2.8ct Cushion (9.11×8.59×6.04)
Compare 2.6 carat Cushion (8.85×8.25×5.03mm) vs 2.8 carat Cushion (9.11×8.59×6.04mm) on actual diamond size and finger coverage (65.71mm² vs 70.43mm²)
ETA:
Oh darn, it defaults to size 6.5 finger size and a 3mm band. You have to manually adjust to 5.75.

but I requested to see the H in person. The H may become my only option on Monday
I have to decide if I want to go with the L by Monday
