Newbie Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 10/11/2001 Member Since: 10/9/2001	Hi, I have been reading this BB for sometime now. Recently I saw a few H&A diamonds and have narrowed down my search to the 3 listed below. Can anyone give any advice on which one is a better gem? Diamond 1 Carat 0.215 Color F Clarity VVS2 Size (mm) 3.83-3.84X2.40 Table % 53 Depth % 62.6 Crown Angle° 34.5 Crown % 16 Pavilion Angle° 40.8 Pavilion % 42.9 Polish Ideal Symmetry Ideal Girdle 1.2-2.5 Culet Pointed Fluorescence Inert Diamond 2 Carat 0.267 Color F Clarity VVS2 Size (mm) 4.15-4.16X2.56 Table % 54 Depth % 61.6 Crown Angle° 34.2 Crown % 15.4 Pavilion Angle° 40.7 Pavilion % 42.8 Polish Ideal Symmetry Ideal Girdle 1.0-2.2 Culet Pointed Fluorescence Inert Diamond 3 Carat 0.267 Color F Clarity VVS1 Size(mm) 4.13-4.15X2.54 Table % 56 Depth % 61.4 Crown Angle° 34.4 Crown % 14.8 Pavilion Angle° 40.8 Pavilion % 42.9 Polish Ideal Symmetry Ideal Girdle 1.4-2.2 Culet Pointed Fluorescence Inert Hope that after some advice, I can decide which gem to go for. Thanks!!! Newbie

The VVS1 is higher clarity than the VVS2, but they probably would make a very nice pair. If they were both priced the same, I'd select the VVS1 if I had to make a choice sight unseen. Maybe when you do look at each one, you would like the VVS2. Each are going to be just as good as the other for use in a piece of jewelry. Pass on the first stone primarily due to extra depth... Less weight, too. ------------------ David Atlas Accredited Gem Appraisers David S. Atlas GG(GIA), ASG, Sr. Mbr. NAJA www.datlas.com

Newbie Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 10/11/2001 Member Since: 10/9/2001	Thanks oldminer, I am also thinking about getting the F VVS2. The price difference between the 2 0.267 are about US$148. The price is not a major concern but I just wanna know which is better value for money and not compromise on quality. Newbie

Dave and everyone has given you correct advice. The spread of the bigger stones is the dominent girly issue. Size does count. Consider 1/3rd ct and SI1 for around the same money?

Unless you value the grades for some reason, there's not a good reason, IMO, to pay more for one rather than the other. SI1 would be almost the same but you might be able to find something if you have good eyesight and studied carefully. Any of the VS or VVS grades should be fine and an SI1 might let you buy a larger, paler or better cut diamond. Might well be a good trade to make. Your preference rules, of course, but dont' worry about the difference between VVS and VS in that size.

Newbie Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 10/11/2001 Member Since: 10/9/2001	Hi Cut Nut, Actually I'm also looking for a bigger gem(my ideal is 1ct, E, VVS1 selling for about... say US$800???? haha... just joking) Well for me, I am looking more on the color (D-F) and the clarity (VVS) of the diamond. I think a 1/3 ct H&A may not be within my budget. But if there are, please do me me know... will consider getting it.... Thanks for your info and advice.... Newbie
