I’m engaged! Soooo exciting! I’m mostly a lurker here, but PS was very helpful during our search for the perfect diamond.

We live in NJ, so were able to contact a few well known PS vendors in the area. We ultimately decided on GOG because Tim was so helpful and patient! I really cannot say enough about how patient he is….I must have asked him switch diamonds out of settings a million times…hehe…

Ok, now to what you really want to know.

1.84 Cushion Brilliant
H VS2
8.08x6.96x4.34
Depth 62.5%
Table 51.9%
Crown Height 20.3%
Culet - Large
Ring Size 5

This is an EGL USA certified diamond. NOT what I was looking for, however when Tim called it in, he was pretty sure I would LOVE it….and I do!

We sent the stone to GEM Appraisers, and David Atlas and Chris looked at the stone and assured me it was a good one.

Interestingly, Chris appraised it as an I (but said it was a high I) , VS1. So it wasn’t far off from the cert.

Enough babbling….here are the pics!

ps....it''s a Vatche X-prong in platinum....love this setting!

Congratulations on your engagement!
 
Cdt--

What a nice looking stone... great tiny table and crown height!

I would of course love to see some close up pictures of the stone to show the facets, if your digital camera''s macro setting allows it.

In the meantime, congratulations on your engagement and a very beautiful ring!

Jeff

Beautiful. I just love the large culet. It looks so bright and lively. And the X prong is just the icing on the cake. Enjoy your new ring and congrats.

Thanks, cdt. My only suggestion would be to take up close shots with the ring sitting on a steady surface, rather than on your hand or between your fingers. At such a wide-angle, the slightlest bit of shaking will make the stone appear blurry.

It really looks like the stone pulls in a lot of color, which is its main job as a old-cut cushion. Wear it in good health and happiness.
 
I have culet envy!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I love the stone :) I just want to know why it isn''t an old mine brilliant! maybe egl doesn''t have that designation, because it certainly would qualify! No, I daresay old mine cut all the way! love it!!!!!
 
oh and I have to say I love the wider band as well.... and i love the overhang :D I''m putting my stone on a thicker band as well... I love substance!
 
Wow!!! Icy white, chunky facets....and HUGE!!! Well-done!
