I was in my local jewelry store the other week picking up a band I had bought and had sized and I was standing at the counter telling the salesgirl that I know that I wanted her to make sure she put me down so that if they got in any 2 + ct OECs that I wanted to see them before they sent them to be recut ( she said thats what they do before she even sees the stones)

She was telling me to not hold my breath but that she would make a note of it. She was going on saying she hadn't seen one in years that large come through the store. As she was writing down the details of what I told her, close to 9mm as possible, j-n color, VS or eye clean SI etc. I look down and see the craziest color diamond I had ever laid eyes on, and beside it I gasped in disbelief a HUGE OEC. She sales girl was in shock, she said she had NO idea they had it there and come to find out it was on consignment and that is why it hadn't been recut. I couldn't believe it as we were standing there talking about it there was literally one right under us... its L color, SI ( eye clean) just over 8.5mm and the weight says 2.14 but I think it might be a mistake and its actually 2.41 haha. I am going to have them send it off to GIA this week and then its mine. Best part is the price is about half of everything else I have seen online with the same specs!!

Wow! Cool beans! smile What do you mean by "crazy color" though? Did it tint an interesting way (I know you said it was L color, which doesn't seem that crazy).

I'm looking forward to the pictures!

oh I meant the ring beside it!! it was a crazy green/yellow mars color diamond. It was awful to be honest but the OEC was RIGHT beside it.

I will post pics as soon as I have it!! My jewelry store is one of those old stores where the lighting is terrible( not the typical bright lights)

I always ask them when I am there if I can take the diamonds outside haha

Totally meant to be! Congrats, Cattrail. I can hardly wait to see your beauty! What sort of setting will you put it in? Or is the current setting a lovely one?!

I have no idea what kind of setting I am going to put it in. It is in a setting but its not my taste at all. I think I will put it in a simple rose gold setting until I make up my mind.

That's a great story! And now you have to love the crazy-colored diamonds too because if it weren't for one of those, you might never have seen your new baby.
