First Wowee zowee! My jaw literally went “thud” and hit the floor when I scrolled and saw this. What are the specs? It is huge.
And second I feel your pain so acutely. I have a suite of five loose diamonds for a five-stone ring and I also feel pangs of stress and frustration that I cannot wear them! Waiting is the worst.
Yeahbut, now we can talk about what you're going to doooooo.![]()
Hello @Dreamer_D ! I am very much aware of the fact that you are in a similar position!!! I'm literally considering taking her with me on vacation (unset obviously) just so that i can have the pleasure of looking at her daily!
Her specs are: 2.86 carats, VVS2, F, Ex, no fluorescence. I was considering a bigger marquise brilliant at 3.01 ct but it was an H color and VS2 clarity. When i saw them one next to the other, i realized that based on the dimensions of the 3.01 ct, there was no significant difference on how big they faced up but there was a significant difference in color, clarity and overall brilliance and crispiness of the diamonds. The smaller one was so much better, it blew my mind away. It really outsparkles my H&A RB diamond.
For reference, i wear a size 5!
Marquise have such tremendous spread, this one being “smaller” is hardly a problem and being better cut and whiter are definitely a bonus. It looks huge but also well proportioned on your finger.
I would like to see a picture of your collection to rings so I can envision how this might fit into the existing family of jewels!
Stunning!!! Where did you find this baby????
My jeweler had it brought in for me to examine it and see how I like it!
Awesome! We don't see many marquise (sadly) here--glad you ae taking the plunge!
I will take a family photo of all my rings during the weekend and post it!
