Thisz first one- the 2.34 has a price tag of $19100.
I posted the video first- becasue the photos really do not do the diamond justice.
These two photos look ok



But these seem to intensify a bow tie look- which , in person, is not really evident



what do you guys think?

Actually, in all seriousness, I'm glad that you did post the video first (and I know that recently we've had this same conversation...) because I agree, the photos do not seem nearly as beautiful as the video.

All I can say is WOW!!!!  Those are both just gorgeous.  I actually think that I like the first one a little better.  There is something about the faceting that really grabs me.

Gosh, I dn't know.  I might have to watch each video at least 50 times more to be sure...

Actually, on first pass, there's a clear winner for me:

NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah NUMBER ONE  rahrah

rahrah R2181... SHE'S OUR GAL! IF SHE CAN'T MAKE US DROOL, THEN NOBODY SHALL!  rahrah

Oh, goodness.  I am loving cushions these days-- cushions and ECs.

Well, if either of these were in my budget, I would almost certainly pick the first, because A) it's larger B) the tint doesn't faze me C) It's less expensive D) It's gorgeous.

No 1 is, to my mind, the perfect cushion. Her dimensions, her facets, her very (very) slight warmth all give her the perfect cushion personality and presence! I could see her set in that gorgeous double claw plat solitaire.

No 2 is drop dead gorgeous! I love the icy sparkle and the graceful shape. Setting, as above or with coloured sidestones?

They are both just stunning. Two very impressive and beautiful diamonds.

Oh I love them both - I wouldn't like to try and choose!  Not that I am in the running for either of these...........unless someone did happen to find out about how to sell a kidney................or any other body part that we can manage without........ Grin

It would be great to see either of these on the hand of a CDIer!

Diamonds are like people, put them under a microscope and you`ll always see a flaw but hold them up to the Sun and each and every one is beautiful.

LOL!  that is too cute.      Yeap,  although the first one may appear to have a little bit of a bow tie...........The faceting is just EXCEPTIONAL.   To be honest though............I never minded a bow tie.....in fact, I may be one of the few that may prefer them.  I just love the charm that they add to a stone........if it is cut beautifully!

Me too Ronda!  I love bowties!  I love staring at how the facet pattern is broken up that little bit.  My pear has a bowtie and it doesn't distract from the stone at all.  I like the character it adds.

The photos are good - the stones are fantastic and that shines through. I think the videos add another dimension too. I always like to see them moving and throwing off fire!

Love the cushion and love the 2.03. 
I'm in the market for a radiant-about 3 cts.  I'm not sure what to put on the sides.  I like trilliants alot, but think it's very flashy.  Would you recommend baguettes with a radiant center stone or should I do trilliants.  I know it's personal but I would like your professional opinion on what would look best. 
Thanks Shelly

Hey Shelly - welcome to the forum!

I'm going to add a:  david  so that he'll be sure to see this post.  Smiley


For now, have you seen the sidestone page on the DBL website?

There are a lot of examples with both trills and baguettes!

My vote is traps or baguettes with the radiant... I've never been a trill fan, but wow, I hope you find your 3 carat soon!!!

I too like a slight bow tie!! Something about them that is nice... Can't explain it..
