My 2.60 RB GIA Ex/Ex/Ex Upgrade from Barsky Diamonds

[Luxie]

Hi! Newbie here - I happened upon PS right after my DH bought my new diamond ring for my birthday in June. I have been lurking here for a little while. I wanted to upgrade my 1.51 RB diamond to something in the 2.5 to 3.0 range. I pretty much educated myself on what to look for in a diamond before we started our quest. My requirements were - VS to SI (eye clean) - H/I color (to match my seven stone 1.77 wedding band) - and the diamond had to be of excellent cut with GIA grading and of course sparkly and beautiful to my eye.

We went diamond shopping on Jeweler's Row in Philadelphia and found the perfect stone and custom mounting at Barsky Diamonds. They are a very old family owned business. Nathan Barsky (5th generation) totally catered to us. I highly recommend them.

Thanks all for the lovely compliments! This is actually my second and final upgrade, but after finding this website I'm wondering if it will indeed be my final upgrade like I thought LOL.
