Which of these 2 Infinity Diamonds

arobertson Rough Rock Total Posts: 18 Last Post: 2/4/2009 Member Since: 2/3/2009	Sorry for the barrage of posts recently, but I think I've narrowed it down to 2 diamonds. The setting will be a simple solitaire (1A3) from DS. Here are the two Infinity diamonds I'm looking at. Could someone give me suggestions, comments, opinions? http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity&id=551 http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity&id=342 Even in the picture, the smaller I looks whiter than the J, but I'm not sure how accurate of a comparison the picture is. Thanks!

If both pan out as eye clean, and with such a small spread difference, I'd go with the I SI1. Is .1 of a mm worth $400 (- 5% wire discount) to you? *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

You need to be able to answer that. (assuming both are eyeclean) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

arobertson Rough Rock Total Posts: 18 Last Post: 2/4/2009 Member Since: 2/3/2009	Well, both are eyeclean. Apparently, someone made an appointment to come in and look over both of them this afternoon, so it looks like I'll get second dibs on whatever he/she doesn't buy (unless he/she turns both down). Would I notice much difference between the I and J? I know that the med blue floro could actually make the J appear whiter, but in the image, it appears a little less-white.

I don't think so, these are both beautiful diamonds and I don't think you need to worry even if you do get the J, plus the fluorescence might help anyway - don't try to judge the colour from the images as this isn't an accurate way to do so.

Here for example is a picture of an Infinity J colour diamond set in a ring where the surround little diamonds are G colour though of course photos are not the best way to judge. I am sure that Wink will be able to advise. Dr. Indira Marchant The Royal Exchange Best Diamonds
