My new GOG .81 H&A!

[Stephen5813]

Just got the rock today - soon to be sent out to be set in the Petite Torchiere by Mark Morrell. Here are the stats:

AGS Ideal
.817 carats
H color
VS2 clarity
Culet None
Depth: 61.56%
Table: 56.08
CA: 34.51
PA: 40.77
Flour: None

It absolutely blew my mind when I opened it up. Took it out into direct sunlight - break out the shades is all I can say. Pics to follow.

Hi Stephen!

Thanks for the kind words and glad you are happy with one of our signature diamonds. I absolutely love the setting you''re getting too. Please be sure to update us when you receive it so we can update your appraisal too.

Having problems uploading. Files are only 32kb 400x267 and 72dpi just like it says. The filenames are 8 random numbers and letters with no symbols or spaces. I''ve tried changing the filenames just in case someone had the same random number/letter combo, and I tried it on my windows computer in case it was a mac problem. Every time gives me an error message : Object Required. Any clue what''s going on? I haven''t had problems uploading in the past, so maybe it''s the server...

That stone sounds stunning! I hope you can get the pics working soon - sorry, I don''t have any suggestions...

It''s going to kill me to try and keep it a secret from the GF during the long appraisal/setting process (I''m still putting on the act that I''m supposedly broke and can''t afford a diamond). I''m sooo excited!
