I keep coming back to this ring. It has a high carrot weight and a warm color.
Am I missing something horribly wrong with it?? The price is so much lower than I have been finding.

Any thought & honest opions would be great

What is the return policy like?

I suggest you start a separate thread with this question, you will be likely to get more of a response!

I''m cooing over it, especially the culet.
 
How did I miss this?!?!? I voted OEC, but I also like transitional cuts.

Here is a transitional I just acquired. We haven''t had any sunny days here for decent pics!

I have a teeny, tiny pair of OECs--or possibly OMCs--to add. They''re set in this locket that my grandfather gave my grandmother in the 1910s, and that my grandmother gave me when I was a girl:

I can't recall if I already posted my transitional stone earlier in this thread. I have been contemplating how to set it since I bought it in November during a trip to NY. I saw something a few weeks ago that I thought would be my choice........until yesterday, when I met up with the Boston PS gals and did a little browsing.

During our travels yesterday, we saw this setting. When we slipped my loose stone into this setting, I knew this was the perfect choice. With plenty of agreement from the PS contingent, I had it set right then and there and am finally wearing my "tranny"!

The stone is .98, and is EGL-graded as L, SI1
