Hi All, What is your opinion on this diamond... Round Brilliant, 1.72,H,SI-1 (Eye Clean), Excellent Cut (1A Classification), No Florescence, Price $9,900, GIA Cert. The diamond looks beautiful. I am just worried that I am not maximizing the diamond given my budget. I was wondering if I should ask the jeweler to search for a few more diamonds at this price, maybe a smaller VS2,G. I am worried that H might be too far down the color spectrum. If you had $10,000 to spend, then how would you maximize the diamond. Thanks! Josh |

Good Q ![]() mine would not be a round, but since you seem to want one, than I see no detraction to thins one. Selecting a stone for brilliance still makes sense to me. If the one merit of this cut model is the potential to deliver the most sparkle, this does not mean all pieces do ... Since you did get the AGA classification, this would mean that Sarin data on the stone are available. Right? It seems that AGA1A also constraints the HCA scores above 2.2 (something easier for me to interpret). To be honest, I would like to see some test of light return in place for the respective budget, other than what I see without being able to compare the stone with a many others (and from this other side of the screen, there is not much option anyway ).Not that H could not be "yellow" to you, but I would be surprised - few people would pick up color grades that easily. These are meant to be impossible to tell apart by untrained viewers - meaning, almost all people who will see the diamond being worn, including yourself. The one way to find out wether H is no good for you, would be a short trip to any jewelry store - the lest brilliant (worse cut) diamonds are, the more color shows, so as long as whatever you see carries a GIA cert with an H grade on, it makes a good model... Just my 0.2, of course. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

---------------- Hi, Josh......from the specs, it looks beautiful, and you've confirmed that with your eye. I'd go with that. H is definitely not too far down the color spectrum......I own a 1.24 H, and it's crisp white. Really allows you to maximize your budget. Honestly, if you put the H next to a G stone, you wouldn't be able to see the difference, so why pay more for a G? _____________________ |

Hi Josh, on paper it looks like a great stone, and if yu have confirmed it visually, sounds just like the way to go!
