[talonesi]

I was hoping to get some opinions on this pricess cut diamond I'm debating on purchasing. I have been reading this site for weeks now and found lots of useful information. Bob at WF has been an excellent resource like I have read in previous posts.

[reena]

Also the depth % is 74.2, I updated it above.

well the crown is a *bit* low and the table is a *bit* big, but as you know, you can # yourself to death. really, this stone looks pretty reasonable, and the price is fair. are you going to have the stone sent to you for inspection?

 

[talonesi]

Yes that was going to be my next step unless someone posted major concerns with the diamond. I have a 10 day return period. I was also going to get it appraised before the 10 day period was up as well. Any other concerns or suggestions? Anyone?

 

[belle]

you''re doing all the right things...........let us know how it turns out!!

 

[talonesi]

Great thanks. I''ll be sure to let you know how it looks. Any suggestions on 3 stone platinum settings?

 

[belle]

what are you looking for with the side stone settings? princess, baguettes, traps...........?

 

[talonesi]

I was thinking about going with princess for the side stones as well.

 

[fuffi]

I''d seriously reconsider due to the thin girdle.

 

[belle]

there are lots of three stone settings.....for a princess, i would suggest getting the v-prong setting to better protect the corners.
