Well, The Delivery Man came MUCH later than usual.... typical, when I was waiting so keenly for the package.... but... IT'S HERE!!!!
The large.... oh, yes, indeed it is... Columbian Emerald and Diamond ring that I got from RocksTV last Thursday evening!
Only had briefest chance to photograph it as yet and not able to get the proper colour yet.... but will post pic anyway just to show it's here and it's very satisfyingly fat.....
I suspected ( hoped, very much hoped) that the colour as seen n the video stream and RocksTV pic was not accurate... it wasn't.... ring in real life is much nicer!
Stone has just enough silk in it to be real beyond doubt but is remarkabley clear and extremely vibrant.... tremendous sparkle for an emerald.
Diamonds are not quite as good as I would have hoped, but to naked eye are very pretty and against such a large, glamorous emerald, you don't see 'em other than as decotration!
Emerald is stated to be 5.76 cts and 10mm x 9mm, Columbian : it actually measures 12mm x 10 mm and depth of the lovely chubby stone is approx. 9mm !! Diamonds add up to 0.32ct so reasonable weight there.
Gold weight is stated as 6.13gms though the shank still seems a bit light... would have liked it a bit thicker to balance top of ring. Gold finishing is okay, again it could be a little neater...but in the end, it's all about the bling!!
I will get my OH to try to capture better pix to show the real colour and brilliance of the ring.......but, to be going on with.........
