I'm so excited that I couldn't wait to post until I had the stone....we finally committed to an absolutely fabulous ACA stone for Greg's wedding ring at WhiteFlash.
I was hoping to get something that was a G VS, but this stone has such amazing numbers and the images are so top notch, that I bumped up the budget and figured I'd suck it up. I mean this is the guy who puts up with me day in and day out, and *still* wants to marry me. Why shouldn't he have an amazing diamond to brag about too?
So here are the specs and pictures of course!! When I do get the stone in later, I will definitely post updated pictures with my digital camera. Doubt any of them will be as great as these. Oh and Greg knows that I have found his stone but he doesn't know that it's going to be coming home to US first before I send it over to the tension company....I am thinking that since for Valentine's Day we really aren't going to give each other gifts (brand new house is big gift!), I will surprise him with the loose stone and the H&A viewer and we'll have some fun playing with the bauble before we have to send it away again.
WhiteFlash A Cut Above H&A Diamond

Table: 57

Pav Angle: 40.7
Girdle: 0.8%-1.7%

Woo hoo! I am SO excited. I am going to have to remember that this is GREGS stone and not mine. He is already making noises that his stone is going to be better than mine. I personally think it just makes my wish to upgrade that more plausible when he feels guilty that his stone is so darn close to that illusion of diamond perfection.
Thanks to Brian and Lesley at WhiteFlash for putting up with my incessant emails and for being so incredibly accomodating with all my requests. I had the opportunity to talk to Brian the other day on the phone which was amazing, he is just a fountain of knowledge. I was content to sit there and listen to him talk for about 45 minutes....he answered all my questions (and more).
Garry & Leonid also gave this stone a thumbs up from the information I sent over, yay! Oh and of course thanks to Alj....without whom I would probably be walking the nearest cliff and tossing myself off. Sure it's a small diamond, but it's still $$ and you want to be sure you made the right decision.
Plus it's our first superideal. Awww.
EDITED TO ADD! I almost forgot! Sacrilege. The HCA Score is amazing on this thing. 1.0 EX EX EX EX...yes the elusive 4 EX's. That was such a deal clincher.
