HUGE shout out and a thank you to Nancy Stacy....simply amazing appraiser

[kristie]

I feel the need to publicly state how AMAZING Nancy Stacy is.....she is located in Walnut Creek, CA and is a Master Gemologist Appraiser and more...I just cannot list all of her accomplishments, too many, LOL!
After answering countless phone calls, frantic emails, looking at diamonds I had found.....all without once losing her perfect professionalism (I was probably bordering on obsessed, LOL) I finally decided on my diamond with her help, expertise, and unwavering patience and kindness.
I just cannot say enough about how great she is and I highly recommend her to anyone in CA looking for a wonderful person and a phenomenal appraiser. I learned so much from her and was able to have basically an active learning session while she appraised my diamond.

So......the ring that made the cut and is now sitting pretty on my finger.....

GIA 2.68 ct.
9.02 x 9.08 x 5.47mm
G color...closer to an F when Nancy and I looked at it
SI2
Cut: Very Good
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good

Depth: 60.4

Crown angle: 35
Pavilion angle: 40.8
Lower star: 85

This 2.68 looks MUCH more sparkly and bright than my former 2.11 that had these specs:

Thanks again Nancy!!!

SCORE!!!!! I figured it out!! Sorry this pic makes my hands look 100 years old.....the photography is TOO good, I am only 30! The diamond is very accurately represented though, it is SO WHITE! It is so fiery and flashy/sparkly in real life too.
