My GOG AVC upgrade - lots of pics!

[ecf8503]

Last fall for our 10th anniversary my DH and I picked out a beautiful 1.18ct L color AVC from GOG. But as beautiful as it was, the warmth of the L was just not for me, so the search was on! After months of looking, this little beauty showed up. It''s a 1.43 G SI1 in a temporary simple tapered Stuller Solstice setting size 4.75, and it is beautiful! I''ve enjoyed taking lots of pictures - hope you enjoy them too!

Color: G
Carat: 1.43
Clarity: SI1
ratio: 1.037:1

lovely kozibe - and it isn't included or anything, and I swear it was sparkly clean when I took the pics... I think I need a steam cleaner instead of liquid.

This was taken on a completely overcast day. It''s amazing how these little guys can find colors in environments where my H&A RB never could!

This is a cool pic (IMO). This is my 0.74ct D SI1 H&A RB with strong blue fluoresence next to the AVC. The blue fluor in the round kicks in and makes it go blue-white, which is very obvious next to the AVC which has no fluor. Pic taken in direct sunlight coming through my skylight.
