1.56 G Si1 - Does this look good?

[jadeleaves]

It *might* be upgrade time already

Any input on this stone will be muchly appreciated!

 

[jadeleaves]

Ok - I was planning to get an asscher in between 1.5-2ct, but maybe this will be a better buy?

This stone is a 1.56 G Si1 H&A RB and the inclusions at to the side of the stone which can be pronged.

Should I?? It''s a bit over 12k... *Hmmm*

 

[strmrdr]

its its its sooooooooo round
hehehehe
Its a very very nice diamond. But its sooooo round.
Since its a GOG diamond im going to assume that none of the feathers break the surface but ask to make sure.

Pssttt!!

Shhhh!!

Lol. Is it THAT obvious that it''s a GOG stone

Now someone is going to buy it before I make up my mind!

Are those feathers?? It doesnt look like feathers on the inclusion chart?

 

[jadeleaves]

Ohh and strmrdr - this gives my hubby more time to save up for a 3ct Asscher?

 

[Maxine]

I saw that on GOG website...if I were in the market, I would definitely be interested in that one!!!

With all things considered fancy cut diamonds have a unique look about them and should not be ruled out. There a many fancy cut diamonds that have a visual appeal of their own and a fine "make" really brings out the beauty in these stones. For the premium you are paying for a H&A stone you can typically get a larger Fancy cut.

My 2 cents...

I was looking at a 1.61 H VS2 (Asscher) but it turned out that it wasn't available

I love the asscher, but want more spread as well

A 3 ct asscher is not within my budget at the moment [$$)]

Sorry for the dumb question..what is a GOG stone??

 

[jadeleaves]

GOG = Good Old Gold

A very reputable PS vendor whom I''ve dealt with and purchased stones from.

 

[kalgal]

thanks!

 

[strmrdr]

www.goodoldgold.com
Is his website address.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the lower inclusion photo above the top red arrow and closest to the edge is the feather I was talking about.
Most of the rest look like crystals.

 

[belle]

upgrade time eh? nice!!!

 

[jadeleaves]

This is the sarin info.

Strm, I have emailed Jon abt the inclusions and am waiting to hear back from him.

looks like a very nice SI 1 stone and the inclusions are white.give Jon a call see what he thinks about the stone.one thing about rb''s they will always be in style even 100 yrs from now.

Jade, I saw that one online a few days ago. It looks stunning based on the information availabe! If was in the market for a 1.5 that would be high on the list. Best of luck. Keep in mind....I''m a novice just trying to read up before we purchase.

(Actually got into it with a B&M that I thought I would give a try. *Salesman* was rather annoyed that I was rejecting stones that don''t have proportions that produce....too deep based on table, etc. Thank you PS!!! I truly can''t express how grateful I am for this forum).

 

[Maxine]

It''s looking better all the time!!!!

My sentiments exactly

I think GOG has an ''upgrade'' policy that might allow me to trade this in for an asscher in the future

 

[Maxine]

So....what kind of setting????????

 

[jadeleaves]

These are the 3 contenders at the moment!

i know Jon will give you full credit for his h&a rb''s towards "upgrade" but i don''t know about asscher, would he give you full credit for an asscher towards a future upgrade ?

I think I''ll be able to trade the RB H&A up for an asscher, but if I get an asscher now I won''t be able to trade it up.

you should put the diamond on HOLD before posting them on here...otherwise you never know who might snap them up while you are still considering!?

hehehe.

I would clarify this with Jonathan...
