it goes into the side under the battery tray, pretty easy to spot.

Nice Martin

Hopefully it turns out exactly how you want it

[emts]

those are the rendering from the jeweler, so if it don't we don't pay.

hell he would not even take a deposit.

but yeah we were looking fro a very simple solitaire so makes it easy, tho means was harder to find right stone.

ah used to S chassis where it goes though tray itself.

its gun metal grey with a bit of blue through it.

Bronze should be fine then.

I spent a little more, 5-10% to go though a jeweler, only as they have a guarantee, ie when it arrives if I'm unhappy with it I can decline it.

as for tiffanies, the one we wanted there was close to 30K.....said jeweler is doing same setting in platinum for around 1/3 the price.

thats a huge price difference, was the stone same quality & size?

tony looks nice man.

this is the one we saw that was $18k

Trial pics for colour combo...

Looks decent, the bronze mixes it up a bit rather then just having it silver.

OMG it will be what I'm doing this winter with snow trips

both same color cut and clarity but the jeweler one was .1 caret bigger.

[alr33x]

that's crazy saving, good job brah guessing its a sizeable diamond if it was almost 30k @ tiffanys! thats like 1.5-2ct territory isn't it?

pays to shop around with such big ticket items.

nah not at tiffanies.

most of their diamonds are actually prety low grade,

eg a D colour VVS2 around .9 carat in that setting was 24K.

we wanted over a carat. Cannot remember the exact specs for the 30K one.

Hell yeah!

Nice Alex, but yeah wouldn't pay that at Tiffany's LOL

In regards to the quality of diamonds, the cut is the most important. This determines the brightness or amount of light reflected back in a diamond.

In regards to colour G/H/I I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference to a D/E/F. As with clarity si2 or vs2 should be sufficient. As long as the inclusions are not visible to the naked eye.

A 1 carat, IF, D colour would be say $15,000

A 1 carat, Si2, H colour would be say $6,000

And to the general public under a naked eye you wouldn't be able to tell the difference

[emts]

yeah our first quote was a D 1.02 vs2 radient (for the setting we wanted) and it was

6800 mounted in gold 7500 in Plat.

We ended up with a different stone to that but one I feel much happier with.

[alr33x]

That doesn't sound right man like I said 18k was what we got quoted forget specs might have been an E for 18k haven't seen any 1cts for $30k

[blah_blah]

Well my diamond arrived today.

And I must say and the girls in the office too, It's sparkly as fuark

Very happy with the purchase

[blah_blah]

That doesn't sound right man like I said 18k was what we got quoted forget specs might have been an E for 18k haven't seen any 1cts for $30k

A 1 carat, D, IF, excellent cut diamond could easily cost $30-50k plus

All depends on the specs

[MrWindsurf]

DiamondlinesAustralia?

[alr33x]

Absolute premium specs on blue Nile fr 1.14ct came in at 35k for diamond only which I doubt you'd bother getting such high spec in a 1ct at that price most people wouldn't tell the difference

[alr33x]

That was a D SI FL for the record
