I am so excited to have my ring back and have this saga coming to a close. Just wanted to post quickly and share some pics for everyone since you all have been SO incredibly helpful throughout. Here is a link to my previous thread:

https://www.pricescope.com/forum/rockytalky/advice-stone-exchange-t174254-90.html

I am really happy with the outcome. I can't believe how much this diamond sparkles compared to what I was used to. It makes such a difference! I went down a color grade and to be honest, I can't tell at all and think it almost looks whiter because of the way it returns light. I will admit, I was hoping for a more noticeable size difference to my eyes but my girlfriend at work did comment "that looks so much bigger!!"

I also think after I live with it a bit, I will get used to having it back on my finger and be totally happy with the size because I can't keep my eyes off of how much it seriously sparkles. My fiance and I couldn't stop staring at it over dinner last night- even as a guy he "got" that this is not what my old diamond looked like.

Specs
2.03 carats
J SI2
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Very good
Symmetry: Excellent
Table: 59%
Depth: 61.8%
Crown Angle: 35%
Pavilion Angle: 41.4%
Culet: None
Flourescence: Medium Blue
Inclusions: Twinning wisps are the grade making inclusions and there is a crystal in the center of the table
Comments: Additional twinning wisps, pinpoints, and surface graining not shown

Another note- I had to change the box on the ring to accomodate the new size diamond and it looks like one of the prongs is a bit wonky. I am considering going back to my jeweler for this but I can only tell in the close up pics so I might just enjoy it for a little while. I can't deal with the stress of it right now!

Here are some pics- unfortunately my fiance didn't remember to ask the jeweler to take some nicer ones.

Thanks again to everyone on Pricescope!!

Beautiful! I'm so glad it worked out for you and you are happy with your new stone!
 
Wow, it is beautiful!!
 
Gorgeous and huge!! Congrats!
 
Thanks everyone!! I cannot stop staring at the sparkle. It's almost like i didn't have a real diamond before, i can't believe how differently it performs. I even had a couple of strangers comment on it! I also love how the double claw prongs make it look slightly less round/more vintage.
 
I'm so glad this all worked out. The ring looks perfect!!!
 
stunning! :love:
 
Awesome!!! I'm so glad you are happy with the changes and love the new ring - isn't it marvelous when it turns out perfectly???? Very happy for you!

And I love the video sound - great party tune to go with the fireball party on your finger! :lol:
 
Gorgeous! Looks great.
 
It's just beautiful!! :love: Enjoy and wear in health and happiness!!!
 
What a difference the cut makes! The diamond is gorgeous :) Love love love the setting...does the wedding ring sit flush against it?
 
Very beautiful - so happy for you!

Thank you so much, Diamondseeker! I have been so so worried over the past few weeks about my decision because of the color and bad HCA score. Maybe I was just used to not so much sparkle before but I feel like the sparkle factor is defying that score!

Thank you starry night! The wedding band is still tbd but I *think* I am going to do a shared/common prong eternity with 5 pointers from IDJ. I just don't live the way another thin band looks with it and my fiancé is opposed to two stackers. The eternity band can fit pretty much flush.
 
She's beautiful! Enjoy!!!! : )
 
Beautiful! I'd take video's in store lights too!
 
I was waiting to see the outcome of the new stone and I have to say, it was worth the wait! MD this stone is so much better than the first one, it sparkles like crazy! I love the new ring and it looks stunning on you. It is true what they say "cut is king"
Even though you went down a color it does not look like a J stone it looks like a G or H to me. Perfect choice and I am so glad it worked out for you.
Wear it in the best of health. Congrats!!
 
Yah! :love: I'm so happy to see that this all worked out for you. :love: I'm also happy to see that I'm not the only one that take video of my ring partying! :lol:
 
Beautiful ring and diamond.
 
It is stunning and looks huge on your hand!
 
Beautiful! :love: And it looks pretty giganto to me!
 
Went back and read your old thread - so traumatic!! I'm loving the basket improvements...would love to see more pics of it :love:

Can't wait to see which band you go with and how it looks with your e-ring :D
 
:love: :love: :love:It looks divine on you!!! :love: :love: :love:
