When our client brought this ring in for the trade-up, I mentioned that we couldn't sell it as brand new. There were some scratches on the bottom.

Well, as it turns out, the ring does look brand new (*our client still ended up getting a 100% trade-in credit towards their new ring) Anyway, our factory cleaned up the ring, and it does indeed, look brand new.

Read more about the center diamond below, but suffice it to say, this ring (commissioned by the trade-in'er) is a perfect home for this amazing rock - it really shows the green.

I love the baguettes' glitter. The contrast - the prongs!

Very cool piece

More details about the center stone

Here is a positively awesome bargain. The fact GIA added the word "Grayish" to the color saves you thousands. I can not see any sort of gray at all in the stone in natural daylight. At night, I can pick up a bit under room lighting- mainly because you can't see the greenish yellow as prominently. Gray, in general, dulls a color. However, in this case, just the opposite - the color is vibrant and you can really notice the greenish component. Green is so cool in diamonds!

The cut is also a huge positive aspect of this diamond. The stone is gargantuan for a 2 carat - it looks like a 3 carat! Over 10.5 mm long! With the nice small table, you get really nice sparkle, brilliance. No bow tie.

Then we have the SI2 imperfection, which is a very interesting one in this case. The crystal is located at around 3:00 in my pictures, with the point facing upward. The GIA report shows it at 9:00 as the diamond is oriented point down on the plot. In any event, this crystal has a cool property. When viewed from above, it looks like a small white crescent shaped line. But when I turn the diamond over, it's a black carbon crystal. So that's the first cool aspect to this particular imperfection.

The second is how the diamond is acting like a house of mirrors so that the black carbon that can be seen from below is reflected all the way up to the point. In the pictures, it looks like the carbon is at the tip of the stone - it's actually in the middle of the stone. This also means you really can't see the imperfection with the naked eye.

Put everything together, and you have a charming, eye clean stone, that looks large for it's weight. Oh - and green! Great value.
