My jaw dropped when I first saw a duchess cut diamond on the Jewels by Grace Instagram--so much that I scrambled to call dibs on the one she posted, but it had already sold so she kindly offered me another one that she had in stock. I snapped it up, not knowing what I'd do with it but that I absolutely had to have it. (It may have been a bit of an impulse purchase.) Now, however, I'm finding that other projects and goals are going to have this little diamond sitting on the back burner for an indefinite amount of time. So, I'm putting feelers out there to see if anyone would perhaps love it more than I do, like it deserves!
This .49 F SI1 beauty is blindingly bright white and twinkles so, so prettily. I believe that most people would consider it eye clean, but I can pick out two tiny feathers from about ten inches away. You really, really have to be looking for them, though. It's a wee bit asymmetrical with one of the flat sides being shorter than the other, and the culet being ever so slightly off center. It has an amazing spread for it's weight, at nearly 9mm long. The diamond has medium blue fluor and will come with the corresponding GIA diamond dossier.
I had thought about bezel setting it sideways in a sleek little bracelet or using some baguettes to achieve an art deco feel for a ring. I'm firm on the price for this, as I still kind of love this diamond and would rather save it either for a future project or eventually trade up with Grace than take a loss on it. Thank you for understanding.
