I'm grinning from ear to ear here, because this is what I keep evangelizing about! SI2 stones are often eyeclean, and you've gotten a TREMENDOUS stone there.Date: 11/16/2007 2:53:11 PM

I just got back from Quest Jewelers and I have the ring. It is GORGEOUS!! The setting cannot be lowered because the stone takes up all of the space underneath. In person it looks perfect. You cannot see any of the gaps between the melee stones. I was frightened when I saw the pictures because it looked like there were big spaces between the stones in the band. Mine is not the shared prong because the Purity 99.something % platinum only comes in the Petite Prong. Tne center stone is really beautiful IRL. It SPARKLES big time. You cannot see any inclusions at all and no yellow. It does not face up as white as the F colored stone I lost, but it is still plenty white. Oh, and the most important thing of all- IT IS INSURED!!!

I saw your stone at WF last year, and it was amazing. Eyeclean and not overwhelming in body color. I KNEW you'd like it once you laid eyes on it!
I'm SO SO delighted for you that something unfortunate (loss of your ring) has ultimately resulted in something SO nice!
The ring is GORGEOUS......enjoy it!
ETA: AND......your experience really emphasizes that pictures don't tell the whole story. You just cannot look at something magnified to such an extreme degree and think that's how it will appear IRL. Pictures are great, and they give a good idea, but they just can't capture the delicateness and the proportion that you see IRL.
