Hi Kevin and welcome to PS

I agree with belle and think it will be a lovely stone.

Looks very nice. In a stone this size, eyeclean in an SI2 is usually not a problem - but ask about it.

Thank you for the quick responses!

I am kind of set on the X prong as a setting however I am a little affraid that the setting would over power the stone. Is this an issue with a stone this size or will I just squeak by?

BTW at first I thought that this would be the one and only stone.... After finding this site Im sure there will be an upgrade down the road

 

[Kaleigh]

Yup!!!!

LOL is that a Yup, its too small, just right or gonna upgrade!

I have a quick question about size and spread. Would this diamond measures roughly 5.3 mm would it be worth going $600 more to go up to a 5.5mm diamond? is that even noticable? Im a little affraid of the size of this diamond but dont know if its worth it to just a tiny bit bigger. Also I have a question about the setting. I am looking at the Vatche X-prong but $550 from WF seems a little pricey, is it worth the additonal costs compared to the on being offerd by union diamond? Thanks again!!!!
