Ok, hard to focus on the keyboard
Hard to say enough, or anything at all about a Vivid Yellow Internally Flawless Emerald Cut- this one especially.
Step cuts are very rare in Vivid Yellow- Especially in this size..
The facet pattern is so very simple- yet it accomplishes everything you want, if you're a step cut lover.
There's always going to be part of a step cut that's.....inequitable, in a sense- in the way it plays with the light.
At the ends of the stone, the light gets bounced around quite a bit- causing something similar to what a lot of radiants exhibit beautifully- crushed ice.
The middle of the stone is like deep water- with ripples.
You can focus in the large facets with your eyes- and they constantly switch from darkness to color.


Really a statement piece.
There's the remnants of an inscription inside
"With (illegible three or four letters)ove

The BVLGARI tradestamp was cut much deeper- and on a part of the shank where it did not wear away

When I was examining the diamonds in the setting, they struck me as "older"- not old mine or transitional- they seem to be well cut diamonds from 25 years ago.
Tables slightly larger than the current well made well cut stones you see being cut nowadays- and all over the world.

wow!  totally unique stone, more pictures please. 

Wow!!!  Definitely out of my league as well (and at the moment wouldn't fit a single finger of mine lol) but damn... that is a beautiful sigh to see!

Very cool ring. Too bad I already have a Bvlgari ring JUST like it... (yeah, right)! 

Can't see the images because the firewall at work cuts them out, but only based on the stats it sounds like a bargain - if one can call anything that costs half a million a bargain.

David - Bulgari in Italy were searching for and acquiring pieces to celebrate their sesquicentennial last year, and may still be interested in something like this. I can probably get hold of the curator of the show, if you are interested.

Oh, I forgot to mention, this in some ways looked similar to an Ashoka cut and very slightly like a longish Daussi to me.  Does anyone else see any of that?

I found out more about the history of this remarkable piece.
Our friend, who is a remarkable diamond cutter, bought the piece intact.
He's very unique in that he's more of a "boutique" cutter.
A "small" operation- whereas many of the cutters are massive companies.
He believes it to be from the '50s.
The entire piece- diamond and ring, are BVLGARI

Our friend removed the diamond from the ring, and recut it- more accurately repaired it, to upgrade it to an Internally Flawless.
I'll have better photos, and a video posted today.
