Hi Everybody,
this one had me at hello.  When you're looking for diamonds, size is around 1.00 to 1.10 seem to be much more common than sizes between 1.25 and 1.45.
So, when I noticed the size marked on the parcel paper, 1.36 carats, I immediately wanted to see the stone


As soon as I did, it had me.
The large corners give it an awesome shape.
The 62.9% depth does two amazing things here:
1) the Diamond looks like a carat and a half stone
2) this depth also accentuates the steps, visually.

As you can see- the polish and symmetry are very good on the GIA report.  Of course, you can see how good the symmetry is looking at this emerald cut diamond in these ultra close-up photos


This Diamond has a totally benign black carbon spot.

this 1.44ct

Absolutely!
WhenI heard the price I had to take a look.
I loved the shape immediately, and again, it's a great size.

This one did not have a GIA report.  I loved the shape.  Immediately, and I took it for L color (mainly because it was priced so well)

Once I started looking at the stone, and compared it to a K color, I realized it was definitely whiter.

It's a perfect teardrop shape

Lovely stones - my two favourite shapes! I love the pear and I can see it set in a halo similar to the pink daisy ring.

Very nice!

Jen

I'm not very good at explaining design stuff LOL. IN my own head, when I typed that, I saw a white metal / white diamond version of the pink daisy ring, right enough. I just sort of failed to communicate that vision! You're absolutely right I think  - white all the way.
It was the style and shape of the mounting I was thinking of.

I do love that EC. I keep coming back to look at it.

Jen

Love them both!!  If I had the cash laying around I would set the pear in a necklace like the one with the yellow pear I used to have.  Really miss and need another someday soon.  Not sure how I would set the EC, but it is gorgeous!

ooooo la la. And then some ooo and then more la la. Look at the corners on that em cut and the sparkle pattern on that fat pear!

Dear GL -

Do you have a pic of the pear necklace you used to have?  Did you trade it in, or is this a touchy subject?

Mrs. M, you are SO helpful here today.  Now, where did I put that extra mil...

I saw a stunning necklace in SF. It was a DBTY but with a large white RB every inch , all the way around and it could be worn alone or it had 3 larger diamonds ( briolettes ) which attached to it at the front by little crab catches and the briolettes dangled down from the necklace.
Really hard to describe but the effect was stunning, the whole thing was platinum and there wasn`t a price tag on it so I`m presuming if you had to ask how much it was, then you couldn`t afford it !
Lynne

Phew! Awestruck, that sounds nifty. Too bad I STILL can't find that extra mil...

Mrs. M, you are encouraged to help anytime! As you can see, I STILL can't make a decision. And, David keeps throwing more stuff at us...

Ha, Mikla! No, I checked under the mattress, AND inside all of my pockets. *sigh*

Hi Everyone!

The beautiful pear is sold.....

Just as well - said the coyote looking at the pear - it was not ripe anyway.


Yup. The million. Please.
