It's a nice stone...but I'm sure there are stones just as nice out there...and the crown is a BIT low...so I'd go to a v2 or up the color ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough.

carat_top Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 9/24/2004 Member Since: 9/23/2004	i can afford the extra $600, but i am just wondering if the diamond is worth breaking my budget... if it is a great deal, i have no problem paying higher. I just dont want to regret spending the extra on a stone that is not worth the expense. Thanks for all of the responses.

You can take it to the next step with confidence and have it reviewed by an independent appraiser. Todd(aka Ricardo, aka Cowboy)
