OEC pendant and other items

[NKOTB]

I bought this beautiful diamond from Dreamer a while back, and set it into a pendant. While I do get a lot of wear out of it (it goes with everything!), something has come up that I MUST purchase, and given some recent renovations, I need to figure out where to get some funds!

It's a .60 ct cushiony OEC, 5.3 mm (might be 5.4 mm one way). If I recall correctly, Dreamer estimated the colour to be somewhere around an I. It is very white facing. I will post some better macro shots as soon as I can take them. I'm sorry I don't have better stats, I never planned on selling this!

Beautiful stone! I hope it sells quickly for you.

Thanks, Ginger!

I can't seem to photograph a diamond to save my life. If I use my ollo clip, the whole thing looks black from my phone (currently my only camera). Anyway, here's one more. I wish I had saved Dreamer's pics! She is much better at this.

Sometimes to get around the 'black due to iphone' issue, I try wrapping my phone in a white paper towel. That seems to cut down on how much of the black abyss look you get.

Beautiful! Funny about the black iphone solution. I just have a tough time getting pics one handed with my note. I hope it sells quickly.

NKOTB I'll try to post my pics later for you here

This is one diamond I have sometimes regretted selling. The cut is amazing and unique. Its a cushiony style of old cut with bold chunky facets, but the crown is rather shallow for a cushion. For whatever reason, that combo means no obstruction or leakage at all. If I could clone this stone in an 8mm I would for sure!

All of them are beautiful, NKOTB. I'm tempted by the emerald & the tsav, but I'm saving up for something special too, sob. Somebody's sure to take them all home quickly!

Thanks for the tips and compliments. Dreamer, if you were willing and able to post or send me any pics, that would be wonderful.

Here is Dreamer's description and pictures, hope this helps:



CUT
The stone weighs 0.61ct and is 5.3 x 5.4mm according to my jeweler’s calipers. The cut on this diamond is frankly amazing. It was bezeled when I got it and it blew me away – great edge to edge brightness, fantastic chunky scintillation, great fire, pastels galore. I gushed to my friends that this stone has a cut I would love to recreate en masse, it is just that special. Best of all, no leakage and no obstruction visible to the naked eye, something so rare in true old cuts! The crown on this stone is very low for an old cut, much lower than a modern RB even, giving it a great spread for its weight. But the proportions work splendidly. This stone is a great performer and would make a killer pendant or ring.
COLOR
I compared this diamond to my GIA graded J and EGL graded I OECs and the color is comparable both face up and from the side. It faces up "white".
CLARITY
The diamond is completely eye clean and I cannot find anything with my 10x loupe. There is an area of slight abrasion on the girdle that you cannot see with the naked eye.
