Do a search on laser drilling to get more background info. Hopefully others will also post on this thread. You are just opening a can of worms by going this route. Yes, from what I understand (although I haven''t given too much time to it as I would never consider the purchase of one) is that it can affect the durability of the stone. There are also issues involved in terms of having the stone set or prongs tightened, etc. down the road by other jewelers than the one selliing it to you because it is a liability. Also, I have no idea what the ramifications are with insuring the stone, and you would want to insure a 2 carat stone.

Also, this discussion is really a moot point other than to tell you to stay away from this when looking at other stones as while the depth on this particular one is fine, the table of 67% is WAAAAAAAY too large and the stone will be a big dud. While you might think you are getting a bargain or something, you are just throwing out $12k on junk. The absolute LARGEST you want to go on a table for a round stone is 60%.

I concur. If you have $12K to spend get something nice and NOT ENHANCED.

If i wanted a 2ct diamond, I would go for this one.....it''s ideal cut and should face up white enough:

2.27 K SI2

That is a GREAT performer!
OR... how about going a little smaller and getting a little "whiter" color???
