Had the stone unset today and dropped it off at GIA. No girdle chip!

Great news!!!!

Picked up the stone from GIA today. Came back as 1.22ct I SI2 - there's a feather I hadn't even noticed, and a few flea bites on the girdle. Overall though, completely satisfied for sub-$2k.

@lala646 i think that’s a great stone! I Color is so rare obviously and SI2 is no biggie esp when it’s an inclusion like that.

The cut is interesting. It’s very shallow! My 1.89ct is also shallow at like 55%. But both seem to be cut to accommodate that as there is no leakage.

What are your plans for this beauty?

I'm thinking pendant in white metal. Both of my solitaire pendants are in yellow gold, so it will be good to have something in WG or Plat.

Also, looking at it with the loupe today, there is definitely a chip on the girdle. Only visible with the loupe, as is the small feather, also on the girdle. Neither bother me in the least. Sorry for the lousy image. I find it surprisingly difficult to take photos of unset stones.

Most of these old guys have some damage.

I take pictures of my diamonds through the 20x loupe using my iPhone. Works the best to show facets.

How do you get 20X on your iPhone? I have a 15Plus and it only goes to 10X…

I hold the loupe in one hand and then aim the phone camera through the loupe. It just seems to work better than the clip on macro lens I bought.
