OnInTwo Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 7/16/2009 Member Since: 7/5/2009	Good evening PS'ers! Could you please provide your thoughts on the following? 1.513 ct G SI1 AGS Light performance 0, polish and symmetry 0, fluoroesence Neg. 7.29-7.36 x 4.54mm Table 56.7 Depth 61.9 Crown Angle 35.4 Pav Angle 40.6 Star 52 Lower Girdle 80 Thin to slightly thick, pointed I looked at it through ASET scope just holding the diamond with tweezers. It appeared like a good image. Unfortunately, even after reading the tutorials suggested here, it's still challenging to know if what I'm looking at is acceptable. The AGS computer generated Light Performance image on the DQD looks excellent. Is this an acceptable image? Or should I be concerned because it's computer generated? Also, will this diamond look "big" in a 5.5 platinum solitaire setting? Thanks!!

The numbers are excellent should be a very fiery diamond. Yes it will look big unless you live someplace where 2ct+ is the norm which isn't very many places. ...........

OnInTwo Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 7/16/2009 Member Since: 7/5/2009	Thanks for your kind responses. In your opinion, would this 1.513 ct look just as big (and good) set in platinum solitaire as a 1.8ct? I was shooting for 1.7ct-2.0 ct range. I found this 1.513 and it's unbelievable! I just want to make sure it'll look "big" enough and it'll catch people's eyes when she wears it!

I just want to make sure it'll look 'big' enough and it'll catch people's eyes when she wears it! Yes. Once you get to 1 ct., it takes much bigger jumps in carat weight to make a real visual difference. It will look very nice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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."
