I would love to buy a 1.5c diamond but thats too much money..I rather go with something that sparkles a lot and looks pretty.. LOL yeah I know..

Platinum Trellis Setting from BlueNile... I don`t want the diamond to look hidden in the setting...

The DIY Cut Grading system at www.gemappraisers.com gives this diamond an overall rating of 1A. Very, very good. The tops. But with fancies, specs are only a part of the story. You really need to see fancies in person as they are harder to select based on specs alone.

Just a couple of things that lead me to suggest you have an independent appraiser evaluate the diamond for you,............ Overall depth. Being on the shallower end, the diamond may take on a washed out look. The girdle is thin all around. An expert can look for potential setting and wearing risks associated with the girdle.

Looks like a potentially good candidate. Seems a bit pricey compared to other diamonds currently available thru PS Vendors, but that''s probably a function of the clarity rating.

You might also check out the inventories at Good Old Gold, Dirt Cheap Diamonds, Nice Ice, and the White Flash Expert Selection. All those Vendors stock princess cuts that have been hand selected for performance and professionally evaluated.
