OH. MY. GOODNESS........ I am NEVER speechless.... I am now... That is fantastic. Everything about it is perfect, the stone, the setting! I love it with your band. WOW, what a pleasant thing to wake up to first thing this morning!

 

[dani13]

You must be having a hard time lifting your hand, its so big!!!

Enjoy it, it is really a beauty!!!

Holy Crap that''s Ginormous!!! Congrats on finding a great stone and enjoy wearing it. If you get tired, call me!

 

[DMBsGirl]

wow, wow, wow.......

 

[NYCsparkle]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!

That ring is blindingly beautiful. You should have a welcome to my finger party for that rock.

 

[starryeyed]

LuckySparkle, you ARE incredibly lucky! Wow, what a ring!

I''m drooling!

What''s so great about it is that you have an enormous rock that is a great color! No one is going to look at your ring and say, "Yeah it''s big, but did you see how yellow it is." Instead, people won''t even be able to look at it because it''s so blinding white! Your taste is impeccable! Love the setting, and it goes so well with your band.

CONGRATS!!

Hi everyone, thanks again for all your kind words! It''s so nice to finally be able to post my own set here, after having drooled over so many of yours! I''m back with lots more pictures...I tried to take some hand pics, but it''s not so easy to get good ones... (Any suggestions?)

Wow, incredible!!!

Is that the SuperbCert Tiffany setting or another?

Hi DS! The setting is from Mark at ERD as well, and it''s made in platinum. Mark says that it''s made by the same company that manufactures the Superbcert Tiffany replica. I love it! Looks much more delicate in real life than in the pictures.

I am freaking out at how amazing your ring is!! Wow - wow - wow! It''s just a stunner and the cut is fantastic. Seriously it''s amazing. Congratulations. Can you post the details on the specs?

What did you do with your old 2.6? I think I''m looking for an upgrade!

Hi Beacon! Here are the specs, as requested:

3.26 G SI1 (I really lucked out with the SI1--the main inclusion is a subtle feather off the table, which blends right in with the faceting. I still can''t make it out with my 10x loupe even when I have my inclusion plot in front of me. Yay for eye-clean SI''s!)
GIA cut grade: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Table: 56%
Total depth: 61.4%
Crown height: 15.0%
Pavilion depth: 43.0%
Crown angle: 34.0
Pavillion angle: 40.8
Girdle: Med faceted
HCA: 1.0 TIC (ex light return, ex fire, ex scintillation, vg spread)

My old stone, which was a 2.60 G SI med blue fluor 1.3 TIC (34.5 CA & 40.8 PA combo), is now in Mark Turnowski''s hands. It''s a beautiful stone, and any girl would be lucky to have it.

OMIGOSH!! I can''t be the only one feeling major DSS right about now. That thing is enormous on your tiny finger! It''s just divine and so sparkly. Congratulations on finding your dream stone. It''s funny how a diamond makes you feel so good. I''m wondering how long the feeling lasts

Can''t wait for more pics.

Hahaha thanks, bc! I was actually at ERD when you called Mark to let him know that you had received your ring. I looooove your gorgeous cushion and your beautiful custom setting! Doesn''t Mark do great work? I think my next purchase down the line may be a cushion...

And yup, it is pretty funny how happy a little piece of carbon can make you feel. I hope the feeling never fades!

LuckySparkle, your hands look great! A very tastful manicure. Also, I love that little beauty mark - it's so perfect!

I think you did a great job with the photos. I don't think I'm very good at picture-taking either, but it helps to take a TON of pictures and then narrow them down.

I still can't get over this ring! Is your left hand dragging on the floor??

 

[Beacon]

Thanks for the specs Lucky Sparkle. It''s so fabulous.

Out of pure diamond lust and envy - what is the millimeter size?

Hahaha...daily finger lifting exercises seem to help.
