I loved my antique cushion but had always wanted a well cut RB. I was in love with the solitaire thread and the solitaires with plain wedding band thread. I knew that I liked the simplicity and clean lines that a RB solitaire could offer me. I took the plunge and sent off my cushion halo to JBG to be consigned. (It is listed on her website if interested ;) )

I thought that finding a well cut RB would be an easy task, I was never so wrong. I did not have a huge budget so I had started off looked at K in color diamonds. I figured I could be happy with that and almost pulled the trigger on a BGD Blue, but decided to to hold off. I have to say they do have excellent customer service and I would not hesitate to buy from them either. I looked around at a couple other online vendors and was not impressed by their customer service at all and was disappointed. I then decided to reach out to Luann at Id Jewelry because I know many others on here have had great success with using them. I am so glad I did and you will not be disappointed if you give them a chance. I originally asked about a diamond they had listed but it ended up not being the quality I was looking for. Luann said she could find something for me and even though it was Valentines week and they were busy, she still pulled it off for me. I was impressed how quickly she found me a suitable diamond and it was a J in color as well. It was also a diamond from overseas, so if I wanted it, it was not refundable. I got a picture from their source and was assured it was a stunning diamond and eye clean, I was brave and went ahead.

Needless to say, I am so thankful I did. I am blown away by how beautiful my new diamond is and I could not be more happy with it. I wanted a simple six prong solitaire setting similar to the Vatche U113, or the BGD six prong head. I was on a limited budget, so Id Jewelry was able to have something made for me that cost a lot less.

Now on to the good stuff:
GIA#2161845936
1.51 J SI1
Triple X
HCA 1.3
Very Strong Blue Fluorescence
7.39x7.41x4.55
Ring size 5

It really does look white most of the time, I have not seen any tint of color. I do notice a blue/purple look to it a little bit outside but more so in the gym at my school I work at. I am very happy with my J and can't imagine paying more for a higher color.

It looks classic and gorgeous on you! :appl:

So what are your thoughts on the different cuts (pear vs cushion vs RB) now that you've had all three?

I liked the pear because of how large it was but the sparkle factor was missing for me. If I could have afforded to keep my cushion for a RHR, I would have because it was very sparkly and the chunky facets really did win me over. There is something to be said though for a well cut RB, they just knock your socks off. My first ering was a RB from a mall store. Of course this was pre-Pricescope so I knew nothing.
 
Oh honestly! That is so gorgeous I am so smitten!

Fabulous :appl: Here on pricescope I have seen so many beautiful mrb's- I think, at least in photos- 'J' in a well cut mrb is a complete sweet spot for me- just beautiful. Looks great on you, well done! I hope I get to work with IDJ someday- they seem fantastic.
 
Stunning ring! I love SBF now!
 
What a gorgeous MRB. :love: It looks beautiful on you! Classic and elegant. Enjoy in health and happiness!
 
Oh my goodness, this is just gorgeous! The crisp and beautiful faceting is amazing..
 
It's classic and gorgeous. Love all the pastel colors in the diamond. So pretty :appl:
 
Wow, your new diamond is stunning and looks perfect in it's classic setting :love:
 
Beautiful diamond and ring!

Also noticed a gorgeous watch in one of the photos, might I ask where it is form? :D
 
So fab :love: IDJ is awesome :appl:
 
What a beautiful choice!!! So classic and versatile. A solitaire looks wonderful on you. I loved your cushion ring as well :love:
This is such a versatile ring. Is that a band with french cuts? :appl:
Enjoy wearing the ring in the different combinations.
 
So beautiful. You are a brave girl to just take the step and make the change. So glad you love your new stone. It looks stunning on you!!
 
Wow what a beautiful stone and the setting is so classic. IDJ did a great job finding you what you wanted!
 
So beautiful! I see almost no tint even in the profile view. And that fluor is awesome!
 
Beautiful ring - so glad that they were able to find you something that you love!

While I can certainly appreciate the look of an old cut, there is nothing for me like a well cut round brilliant stone! It looks fabulous on you! Congrats!
 
beautiful-so classic!
 
Your ring is so beautiful. And I love how the fluorescence make is glow!
 
Gorgeous! Cant go wrong with a pretty solitaire!
 
I love it when the pieces finally come together, beautiful ring, thank you for sharing your journey with us, and the photos too!
 
I love it. Great choice!
 
A beautiful classic ring!.. :love: Congrats!.. :appl:
 
That diamond is gorgeous :love: I think you made a fantastic choice & it looks absolutely smashing on your hand! I was surprised when you gave up your pear, such a lovely stone, but completely understood the how hard it is to resist wanting everything you see on PS.

Having followed your diamond quest thru the last three rings, I really think you nailed it with this stone. It's a fantastic size on your hand, the facets look so perfect, smart choice on color/clarity & I love the VSBF. Great classic setting.

I have been very, very strongly considering an MRB in exactly the specs you bought. I get caught up looking at fancies but then a post like this comes up & all I want is a perfect MRB.


Love!!! Congratulations :appl:
 
I wondered what you were getting! It is beautiful! :love: All these rings posted with strong fluorescence make me so jealous!!! I love it so much!
 
A Winner Indeed! Gorgeous diamond! Classic, beautiful setting! Looks great on you! :appl:
 
Congratulations! Life's too short for only one diamond! I am a big fan of your previous ring, but I can understand why you wanted a change. It's lovely!
 
Really beautiful! I love the sparkly rounds, too. Congrats! Enjoy!
