That step-cut oval is a long-waisted girl. In the parlance of (some) men, "I'd do her."

Always loved this setting but could not figure out what to put in it. Now I have an idea.

Here is the end result.

Like a spring cut, 1.05 ct K color VS1 clarity EGD:



Gorgeous but could not find > 1 carat to make the inspo ring.

Found a LGD like a criss cut but with larger facets in the middle. Since it is LGD I won’t go into details but wanted to show how it ended up next to the inspo setting (David Klass):

What does everyone think of this stone? It is very pretty looking like a peony.. but not sure how much colourful flashes it will show.

Looking forward to LGD specialty cuts coming down in price like the rest of the LGDs. Anybody else think that will happen? I am hopeful for fall 2024.

 

[Lookinagain]

I think it's priced a bit high.

Seems like they lowered the price by $100. I think it's still a bit high though.

[lovedogs]

What are we seeing here? Coating? Fracture filling? Etsy says natural and untreated.

Must be true cause Etsy said so

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Yikes! Which Etsy shop is this?

The grading report is a printout of a screenshot you take with your phone.

Yikes! Which Etsy shop is this?

One of those shops that sell 3,675 diamonds of dubious quality.

Serious question, though… coating? Something else?

If you are referring to the iridescence in some of them (numbers 1, 5, and 7, if numbering them like words on a page), I think the transparent glass or plastic lid is on the container pressing down on the stones and that can produce that interference pattern -- like the sheen of motor oil on a rain puddle. I assume this is done so that all the tables are parallel; otherwise, they would "flop" to one side.

Correct - its just thin film dispersion as you see when petroleum products spill on a garage floor.

@LilAlex @Garry H (Cut Nut) Thank you both!

All right… something to offer in exchange for the serious question…

Omfg the girdle is big enough to live on

Left side crown angle about 30-35 degrees. Right side 45-50 degrees. Extreme symmetry variation - unless it is from a video and not face on?

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Needs a new thread - "Bizarre." Is this from Brilliance.com?

@Garry H (Cut Nut) Yes, video

If someone wants a rough to make an old mine cut this might be it?

Back when I was in the market for non-crushed ice radiants, I saw this stone.

@oncrutchesrightnow this is a fun rock! I noticed this website has "see diamond on hand" function, which sounds like very helpful. Do you mind sharing which website this is? Thanks!
