Hi All:
After lot of delibration b/w H&A and ideal cut, I am inclinded to move forward with ideal cut, so I could use 2-3K premium that comes with H&A on something else:
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1445277.asp

What do you think about the specifications? Any changes needed?
This does not have IS/platinum report. Is that a problem?

Regards,
Laks

You can still request for an idealscope image just not the hearts image for a non-H&A stone.

I am planning to purchase it tonight. Experts - Please please please take a look and provide feedback.

I think the stone looks just fine! Seeing the symmetry from the photo and the fact that it makes the AGS Ideal cut grade is enough info for me. G VS1 happens to be my favorite, too!

 

[MissGotRocks]

I think it looks like a very pretty stone! As DS says, you can pretty well rely on the AGS cert to assure a very well cut diamond.

Thnx guys. Went bk to SG for good so there will be some time difference and new job does not have that much online access, so my participation will be lower.

Per your suggestion, got the IS image and have attached the same. What do you think? Can I go ahead and make the payment?

It's no H&A but you know that, and I think it's a nice specimen otherwise

It does have the performance-based AGSL DQD report (the prestigious one) - just doesn't have the version w/ printed ASET, but that's nothing to worry about. Recent report & no red flags. JA has a generous return policy, I'd have it shipped out loose to inspect in-person, confirm that you love it before having it set

At 10 o clock position, there is a heart shaped image. Is that just contrast ?

It is an artifact in the stone, if that's what you mean. The stone is not highly optically symmetric - some "virtual facet" (apparent facets created by reflections of other facets) asymmetry

Thanks a lot. I looked at H&A for similar carat, color and clarity for 2K more. Would you suggest me going with H&A or would you suggest me sticking with the non-H&A? If I go with non-H&A, would the asymmetry impact fire/brilliance? Will I see teh assymmetry visually?
