New CBI/HPD upgrade 1.09k up from.64I

[whitewave]

OMG I am in love!!! This is the largest diamond ring I have ever owned. The band is an old unbranded band I’ve had for about 15 years, possibly more.

the CBI is a 1.09K SI1 up from a .64 I vs2.

I kept the same setting, which is a Stuller scroll cathedral band with a solstice head. 14k White gold to hold me over until I’m done.

As always, Wink is the man! And Melissa is so great and has a classy eye.

Now I shall photobomb your with photos in various lighting, from the car to Home Depot to Home Depot lighting aisles, fluorescent, spotlight etc aisles

I have to take one under the tree canopy since the sun is out right now. Oh, we are affected by the Saharan dust cloud so keep that in mind. Our cars are covered and it’s hazy everywhere.

My hands are a wreck as usual. We are moving my daughter into an apartment, so I am refinishing furniture for her etc.

I’m loving it. To be honest, I don’t see much of a difference between the I and the K, so for that the K is a much better value.

I claim to be tint sensitive, but the tint is not bothering me at all. Maybe it’s because I’m bowled over by the size??? It seems so HUGE to me. I think it looks much larger than a 1.09 (but all of my CBIs have felt larger to me).

Looks great on you! Did you end up getting what you needed at Home Depot or get mesmerized by your diamond and walk out empty handed?
I’m very excited for you! Congrats!

That's fantastic news about the color! And the size looks great on you - more substantial than your last stone. Beautiful solitaire!

I really can’t get over how big it seems to me (though in a year I know it will suddenly look and feel small lol).

Nice upgrade @whitewave ! She's a beauty!

What do you mean keeping the setting until you're done??? Can I predict another upgrade in your future???

Lol. Well I’m a card carrying member of Pricescope, so I’m just going to assume there are more upgrades at a later date

Can this phenomenon be applied to other stones?!

It's a lovely stone and looks wonderful on you!

I cropped this one from an earlier pic. I love it.

 

[PreRaphaelite]

Absolutely stunning

Oh I'm so so so so excited for you, it's AMAZING. STUNNING. I love it! I love the setting too, it's really sweet. Please keep sharing all the pictures and videos - I'm really enjoying it as I'm sure is everyone else. It's crazy because I know that even your awesome videos won't really be capturing the extent to which that diamond is such a beauty.

Cut is everything.

Well done WW!. Congrats!.

Did they kick you out at HD? They must think that this lady is a nut . Did any other customers see you taking video of your ring?

 

[Musia]

Love all the fire it produces! Great diamond and lovely setting. The rock looks bigger than 1.09ct! It is so bright! Happy for you, congratulations!
