I am so excited! Ten years into marriage and seventeen into the relationship, and now I''m going to really be engaged! I''ve been lurking here for weeks doing my research (thanks, Asscher people...storm...everyone who had previous recommendations...)
Here''s what is in the works...
Asscher 1.05
D VVS2
Depth 67
Table 58
5.81x5.67x3.80
symm and polish both very good
I was going to get a trellis / x-prong but then fell in love with a modern take on a solitaire at Dimend Scaasi. I ended up working with him (Isaac, the owner/designer) and have LOVED the experience so far.
I''m on the west coast, and just now he showed me the diamond through an innerview live video stream over the internet. He showed me the diamond close up, showed it to me on his hand, showed me the cert, all live while we chatted on the phone. I feel better about making a purchase over the internet getting to see it up close and live. The papers and pictures only go so far, and even though some of the other internet places would let me return the ring/stone, I didn''t want to have to return my dream ring once it was in my piggy little hands!
I looked all over the internet and did do some good price negotiating. He''s not the cheapest, but I really really like him and his designs. I do believe in paying a bit more for quality handmade designs and quality service.
I now have to wait two weeks and will post pics! I hope you guys like this too.
