Well guys,
I found information on this forum on lots of stuff when picking out the diamond for my girlfriend.
Then I found the one that I bought and it is amazing. I showed my friends and they were just like WOW!
It is so shinny. So I was ready to buy the setting and then I found another ring that already has a diamond.
So now I do not need this. I bought this late Nov. It has never been mounted. Paid: 1,124 Asking: 1000

The above is the diamond. I bought it from them. :lol:
We can figure out something for shipping that is safe for both of us. I have positive feedback on ebay (over 50).
Here is the info from the GIA Report:

June 30, 2008
Round Brilliant
5.12-5.15x3.10mm
Carat Weight: .50 carat
Color: E
Clarity: SI2

Total Depth: 60.4%
Table Size: 57%
Crown Angle: 32.5 degrees
Crown Height: 13.5%

Pavilion Depth: 43.0%
Star Length: 50%
Lower Half: 75%
Girdle: MED to STK
Faceted (3.7%)

Here is the info the seller sent to me about the diamond:
Here is a gorgeous diamond we have just worked up for you.
The stone exhibits incredible refracted brilliance.
This stone achieves the coveted "TRIPLE ex" (EXCELLENT CUT, POLISH AND SYMMETRY)on the most prestigious grading report in the world (GIA)
It doesn't get better than this Ideal cut diamond, which is superior by far, to the Peerless stone.

Because you are working on a budget and because we only advocate paying for a difference you can see with your naked eyes, I have selected a gorgeous E color instead of your D color option.

There is absolutely no redeeming value in spending more money on the D color versus the E color. Both diamonds will be equally Icy-white, so I don't wish to take more money from you for this "paper difference". Either way, you are waaay up there in color and have selected a rare, valuable and icy white "collection color" grade.

This beautiful diamond is here in-house.
Please review the actual data and get back to us.

The diamond is 100% eye-clean, face up, with no visible imperfections to the naked eye.

How about $900!!!
I figued asking $1000 was a little much. I am willing to take a $200 hit.
Also if you live in the DFW area I can meet you.
Thanks
