sunkend Rough Rock Total Posts: 1 Last Post: 1/3/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2009	Hi, I'm fairly new to PS and wanted to thank everyone for their contributions. There's definitely a wealth of knowledge here (that I've been doing my best to try to soak up) and I definitely appreciate everyone who puts time into making this forum great. I'm a few months away from actually buying, but I went ahead and started the search about a month ago. I found these two stones. They both seem abnormally cheap for what they are. So I hoping to either A: figure out why they're cheap and learn something new and important about diamonds in the process or B: find out that one's a really good deal and scoop it up in the next few months. Here's the first: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1193832.asp?b=16&a=12&c=77&cid=131 It scored a 1.1 on the HCA and appears to have really good angles and percentages. Shape: Round Carat weight: 0.51 Cut: Hearts & Arrows Ideal Color: H Clarity: VS2 Certificate: AGS Depth: 61.5% Table: 55.0% Polish: Ideal Symmetry: Ideal Girdle: Thin to slightly thick Culet: None Fluorescence: Neglible Measurements: 5.115.163.16 Crown Angle: 34.5ТА Crown %: 15.60 pavilion Angle: 40.8ТА pavilion %: 43.00 And here's the second: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-1848231.htm# It's an ACA, so it has to be great, right? Well, it's a good amount cheaper than most other superideal .6's. Registers a 1.5 on the HCA. . Shape: Whiteflash ACA . Carat: 0.621 . Depth %: 61.8 . Table %: 56.4 . Crown Angle: 34.8 . Crown %: 15.2 . Star : 52 . Pavilion Angle: 40.8 . Pavilion %: 43 . Lower Girdle %: 77 . Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick Faceted . Measurements: 5.45-5.48X3.38 . Light Performance: 0 . Polish: Ideal . Symmetry: Ideal . Culet: Pointed . Fluorescence: Negligible Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!

kaori Cut Rock Total Posts: 143 Last Post: 8/7/2009 Member Since: 9/27/2008	Hi sunkend, I did a little calculation on both diamonds through http://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp The first stone costs $ 1280 and scored a 1.3 on the HCA while the second stone costs $1663 and scored a 1.5 on the HCA. They both are good choice IMHO. Personally, I would go for the vendor that has better upgrade policy, just in case you decides to get a bigger diamond for any reason... I hope this helps, good luck.

The .6 WF one... you should ask WF about the price. Ditto. Either could be great, depends also if you want the branded ACA or the JA diamond. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
