Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
I do. But keep in mind, super zoom is kind to nobody - especially poor little I1 stones. The biggest inclusion is the one on the side, and Daniel M did a great job covering that one up. I can't see it with the naked eye. I like to call this one my "eBay steal," though because I was always afraid of I1's, but took a shot with this one and it's just as sparkly as any of my other stones and it's almost a freaking carat. I've also included a super zoom of it set so you can see how well he covered the inclusion. I promise you can't see it from even 10 inches away.

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
Please don't think like that! Most sophisticated buyers are interested in full disclosure, and not everyone is afraid of inclusions. I am a lot more likely to walk away from a piece because I am afraid of the unknowns than because I know too much.athenaworth|1327608054|3112395 said:

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
Teehee, I snagged this beauty for my one year old girl's birthday gift. When I saw it I just knew I wanted to give it to her one day and tell her Mommy bought it for her first birthday. Something about this diamond was so magical to me - I actually loved the inclusions! They seemed to give the stone character and a certain je ne sais quoi. This stone just seemed "funky and cool" to me with the beautiful bezel and milgrain rounding out its "rough" edges. Something about it made me want to buy it for my M.
I hope she looks in the mirror one day and loves all of the flaws that make her so special, too.
I guess I could have gotten her a perfect diamond but this one just spoke to me - an antique stone like this has stood the test of time and is totally unique. One day, when she understands, I'm going to tell her that this is the way God sees us - he doesn't see our flaws. He only sees our tremendous beauty. Awwwwww!!!
Anyway... I just wanted to share that the things you list go on to be loved and bring happiness to people all over the world! And they are loved. I hope that as you all love your jewels and pass them along, the good karma flows through them and muliplies back for you!
Many many thanks to the sweetest and most WONDERFUL PSer: Athenaworth!!!!!!! She made everything so easy and was just a dream to correspond with...a dream come true! Such a beautiful person to buy from! Please list more items!
You are a gem, thank you!!!!

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
Mara, Skippy and Amys Bling...Awwwwww THANK YOU!!!!! You are such precious ladies, truly. I hope you continue to have many many blessings in your lives! I miss the old PS days where we got to post a lot more!
Gawd, Lawdy Lawdy I sure do love PS. I have so many blessings from you ladies! The funny (sad) thing is that I threw away my platinum 1.5 tcw WF DBTY necklace the other day in the trash at work. It is in a landfill in NJ now, I am told. 
Nothing anyone can do now! Not insured - GAH! When I realized what I had done, I could not breathe properly for 5 minutes! Now I am insuring even my smaller pieces, my goodness. Expensive lesson. Ayyyyyiiieeeeeeeee!!!!!
DH told me that as long as we have our health and our precious family and friends, it is all OK. So small things like this do make me happy! The awful part is, I threw it away because I put it in a tissue while I tried this necklace on - meaning to put it in my purse and forgot to do so like a nitwit. LOL - threw it in the trash later and forgot. So I guess this necklace is meant to be and not that one!!!!
MOMMY BRAIN! Hello! Earth to Bliss! Bless you all and please do not be like me!!!
Athenaworth, thanks again! You are an angel!

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
OMG, Bliss, I'm so sorry to hear that!!!!!
Its just wonderful that you purchased this sweet necklace for your little girl though!!! But oh my, that's terrible. What your hubby said is true, and its not worth worrying over now since what's done is done. I'm sorry.

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
Ugh Bliss I'm SO sorry to hear about your DBTY. Yanno what.. I live in FEAR of doing that same thing! I always have something laying around it seems as I have gotten quite careless about just taking off a ring if it's bothering me or earrings or whatever and laying them on the dining table where I work on my computer. Then J might come and eat near me and I toss a napkin onto the table or something. I always try to shake my napkins and the like out, it's just too easy.
and I hear you, I miss you TOO!!!

Re: Almost one carat OEC Bezel Necklace
Dani, thank you!!!! Oh, and may I just drooooool over your set? My gosh, that is beyond lovely. I'm all distracted now... Makes me feel better!!!!
DandiAndi, thank you for the kind words! I just cannot believe I did that! When I put my necklace in the tissue, a red flag popped up in my mind with, "Hmmm, this isn't wise." But I overrode it thinking I wouldn't be so careless. Of course, I was careless in the end and threw my necklace in the garbage! My goodness! I hope my story helps others to avoid this mistake! It would have been SO much better to have a dirty necklace rather than a lost necklace!
MARA!!!!!!! My gosh, you too! I do that stuff all the time! I have not lost an important item like the DBTY in a long time, though! I have had so many near misses with my rings and earrings, too. I've forgotten them in restrooms and everything! I should update my insurance policy!!!! Mommy brain is pretty crazy... I had too much confidence in my ability to keep my presence of mind. But clearly, I am unable to remember even the littlest things!
The good news is, I think DH is secretly trying to make a replacement happen... I e-mailed Yekutiel at IDJ how much a replacement would be and he has oddly been silent on the matter. This can only mean DH e-mailed him first.
LOL - although thinking about the necklace makes me kind of wistful and sad. Part of me just wants to go without or get something different. It just seems incredibly wasteful to get the exact same thing...we'll see!
Athenaworth, you ROCK!!!!! Thank you for the gorgeous OEC!
