Well my guess was going to be between 25-30 carats so I think we're all thinking similarly  I love the tolk proportions though on the M colored diamond. I prefer less patterning in my rounds and that one does it well. Thanks guys!! Actually Squig, a "Tolk" would have more patterning- and a smaller table. "Tolk" refers to "Tolkowski" who invented the modern Round Brilliant as we know it. These first modern round brilliant stones had smaller ( 53-57%) tables Then, as cutting techniques improved in the '50's the modern developments let to larger tables- such as the 60% table on the M color. Then in the mid '80's a company called "Lazaare Kaplan" revived the smaller table- and coined the phrase "Ideal Cut" "Table" is the largest facet on the diamond- the flat part on top. saqsay- a nice glass of wine maybe??

I have no idea on the total weight, but my thought was that they looked like they were in military formation. And David is their general.
Hup two three four, HUP two three four  What a kewl parcel!! The stones are all VS- all really nicely cut. I did throw out three because I did not love the cut on those. The color ranges from M to W-X. Some have strong fluorescence. Another incredible aspect is the price. We can offer these to CDi members at a special price of $1100 per carat, or about $220 per stone. They will go on the site for $1200 per carat. IF the stones were F-G color we'd be looking at $2k per carat.......
