Finally got the ring done for out 10 year.. I''m attaching some pics, I hope they turn out..

EGL F/SI1
2.67 ct
9.09-9.03x5.36
Depth 59.2%
Table 59%
Crown 13%
Pavillion 43%
VG/EX
1.2 BIC

1.14 cts pave G-H VS2-SI1

Platinum setting

The setting was finally finished and my stone set. The setting was cast in platinum, with split claw prongs, and 1.15 cts of pave. The setting was a combination of the Tiffany Etoile band, with the Lucida head. (both on Tiffany''s web site) The band is approx 8 mm wide. The ring is nice and heavy with all that platinum. The ring size is 5. The diamond is a 2.67 round with avg 9.04 mm wide. EGL Israel F, SI1.. Appraised with a colorimeter as a G color.. Clarity was appraised as SI2 (totally eye clean). Paid $20K cash for the stone, and $5K cash for the setting. This was a 10 year anniversary upgrade! Sent her 10 doz roses, then gave her the ring that night at a romantic place in Dallas. I''m so in love, and it''s only getting better!!
I bought this stone and another 2.49 round from Howard Goodman. (Howard also sells jewelry on Ebay) He brought in a handful of stones I found on Pricescope, and a handful from the local LA Diamond district that had similar specs. I flew in to see him and spent the entire day looking at all the diamonds side by side. I picked the stone, and he gladly beat the best Pricescope price for the stone I wanted. He gives a 14 day return policy, with full upgrade. So easy to work with, no pressure and his family has been in the diamond business since 1946. The setting was done locally by DFW Diamonds. Amy Clarke is the best in Dallas working with platinum and melee settings.

I don''t have a very good camera as you can see.. I can''t get a good focus close up.. The stone is a fire cracker, very white, with fire and scinitilation

diff angle.. but you can at least see the idea.. my wife''s ring finger is a size 5, so it looks very nice on her little hand.

The ring is very pretty. I can''t imagine what having 10 dozen roses sent to you would be like, too bad she probably forgot all about them as soon as she saw the ring! lol
