Dreamer D, no I won't! Hubby will.

Here's the transitional diamond I am "fostering." Think I have made my mind up but have been trying to get good pics all weekend to pass the time. Ironically, it's supposed to rain thru next week...in Texas! I need some sunshine pics!

2.56ct M, VS1

How high in color? Easier to go with JBEG or OWD if you want true colorless (I have never seen one on ebay). You might find H color on ebay, two of my OECs are in that range.

 

[Gothgrrl]

Colorless would be awesome, but I'm nit holding my breath. I would like at least an H, maybe I if it had flouro. I'll have to check out OWD. eBay seems to tricky for me.

 

[DiamondsDiamonds]

My first OEC, now my mom's engagement ring. 5.85mm, H color, VS.

Dreamer D, this is a beautiful ring.

And very nice stones from everyone else!

Ganesha - where did you find your setting? I am thinking about a bezel for my 0.93 oec and I love your ring!

Older pic of my 2.94 old European cut--in old mounting. You can really see the M-N color in this pic.


Same stone in gold...this stone is a bit schizophrenic in pics.


...and reflecting pinks from a flower

Wow it looks gorgeous but even more colorless in yellow gold do you agree??

[Mara]

god. coati's stone makes me break out in hives. i want to lick the screen.

 

[Begonia]

I'm a total novice when it comes to stones new or old cut, but even I can see that incredible faceting.

Jeez I wish I could see that bad boy in person.

 

[Mara]

Beautiful 4.9mm transitional in an art deco ring. This stone is so crisp.

 

[Mara]

Current favorite... a 5.5mm OEC. This faceting pattern is just ridiculously fantastic in person. If I could find this faceting pattern in a 9mm, I'd sell almost all my jewelry to get it. (almost)

AAh I see the perfection mara! I feel the same way about the 5.2mm I posted on the last page. I want to feed it steroids!

 

[Kismet]

An OMC M-ish with some obvious inclusions. I removed the pin stem and it's now a pendant.


A mix of light yellow OMC, OEC and transitionals. These will be a graduated 5 stone once I stop dithering about who will set them. Largest stone is just over 1ct.


.90 ct transitional cut stone in onyx.


1.3ct OMC

[Rhea]

Mara - I love your 4.9 tranny!

This thread and another recently thread have made me realize that I really like the pattern of trannies. They're all beautiful though.

 

[TravelingGal]

Mine. I always thought I'd like a more "organized" and uniform pattern as possible in an old cut, but I love these stones.

I love this

 

[vinjewels]

I would love to adopt and have both. Saving the old cuts is what my mind wants to do, but my wallet is protesting!
Mara, Until you said that, I didn't realize that's what I looked like I was about to do. My husband told me to go ahead and lick the screen and get it over with
