Your diamond is stunning. I am a big fan of diamond cut, and I actually researched and looked at a lot of diamonds when I was looking at upgrading my diamond stud earrings (I got side tracked, so that's fallen lower on my priority list).I’m excited to share my new alternative ering. I usually wear a larger warmer Old European cut so a smaller modern round brilliant is definitely a departure. Super ideal cut by Crafted by Infinity, 2 ct D. The opportunity cost was a couple of holy grail VCA pieces. But feeling this is worth it...
thanks for letting me share.

Of all the brands/cuts I saw, CBI was absolutely the most gorgeous. The way they cut to maximize sparkle and fire is amazing. I actually had other "perfectly cut" diamonds with me to compare it to the CBI, and the CBI won. Your diamond looks gorgeous in the photo, and I am sure it's even more stunning in real life. In case you are not aware, when I met with the CBI person, he told me they also cut stones that are for the luxury brand houses.
Your stone is just beautiful! Great choice! Congratulations!
Thank you @willeyi . So cool that you know and like CBIs too. I didn’t know that they cut for other brands. And HPD has the best upgrade program too.
I’m now looking at Graff pieces. Love the butterfly series.
Me too! Definitely my next jewelry purchases I hope.
It is beautiful! How does it compare to the larger oec?I’m excited to share my new alternative ering.

Do you miss the larger size?
Or will you sometimes wear 1 & sometimes the other?
I accidentally stumbled upon Mimi So's boutique in Soho yesterday while doing Black Saturday shopping and met her. She was so, so sweet and knowledgeable and I didn't even realize she was a Big Deal TM until after I left and Googled her. I fell in love with so many pieces I tried on there and added a few to my wish list. Below are a few I loved!! I'll also definitely consider her for my wedding jewelry.

Thank you!!! It's on my wish list for sure; but first getting the Cartier JUC bracelet with diamonds hehe. I have enough rings for now.
how do you ladies feel about the harry winston lotus cluster vs. the vca lotus? i cant get these two pieces out of my mind:
the earrings are like 20k, and the pendant is 15k. their small lotus earrings are around 30k. so nearly double the price of vca’s lotus, but the diamonds are significantly larger. there’s very little content about HW online and i havent seen any pictures of people wearing these so i’m just not sure.

I find VCA to be more classic, and in this case I'd go with the classic.
Those are beautiful pieces, very special to have something from HW that you love
I met Mimi years ago at a NM trunk show and came away with this amazing bracelet. She was lovely and I fell for many of her designs. Sadly I don't think the Jackson collection is available anymore.
