Re: A touch of rose cut charm :-)

The bracelet looks so light and elegant on your hand. With the rose-cut pear it is truly unique. Is it rose gold?

Re: just how negligible is negligible?

It's odd that the GIA didn't catch the glow...I always thought fluorescence either is or is not - but perhaps it is subject to interpretation in the way that clarity grades are. On a side note, I have never understood why fluorescent diamonds are worth a bit less. Certainly for the rare diamond whos...

Re: just how negligible is negligible?

I would think that if it truly has minor fluorescence that it would be marked as "faint".

Fluorescence is cool. I look at my settings under black light all the time to find the glowing stones.

I know that BN doesn't get a lot of love around here, since you can't see the stone, get an ASET, etc. But I have a Signature Ideal - also in D color - that I have posted and it did not disappoint.

Re: Would you exchange it for a bigger size

Can you see the inclusion with the naked eye? If so, I say pass on the stone switch. If you can't see it, and knowing that it's there won't bother you (mind clean) then switch. IMO, there are all kinds of SI1 stones. Some have very visible inclusions, some have inclusions that are invisible to the e...

Re: Just found this place... need some advice.

Oh my. That setting is way overpriced and the quality of the center stone is quite poor. Frankly with all I've heard about Jared I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, Neil Lane notwithstanding.

Re: ags vs gia topic...again!

I would run far and fast from any jeweler who said that GIA is better than AGS. Both are good, but AGS provides more info about cut than GIA. I am partial to AGS diamonds; I have two.

Re: Pear Diamond.. Advice needed

I have a pear diamond and in my opinion the shape and cut of the stone is the most important thing to assess - by eye. When I say shape, I mean is the stone wide/fat or narrow/skinny, are the "shoulders" of the pear nicely rounded or are they squared off? Jessica Simpson's first engagement...

Re: Bluenile cut grading - Advice please

I'm assuming that your friend the jeweler told you that the lack of fluorescence is the key to finding a beautiful stone. This is nonsense.

Hello PSers! I have been looking for the right RB stone for a couple of years; I found one at last and thought I'd share.
