Another princess cut opinion

walrus Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 5/12/2006 Member Since: 4/6/2006	http://www.whiteflash.com/princess/Princess-cut-diamond-1226183.htm This is one of the reccomendations I received from whiteflash and would like to know what people think. I have a real hard time telling anything from the ideal scopes for princess cuts, I can see differences in round, but not in princess. It's a little bigger then what I was thinking of getting, not sure how it will look on a 5.5 ring finger. But the quality to me seems to be real nice and not sure i could find one for about $1000 cheaper and still be so nice even if I sacrificed about .2 carats? Thoughts?

walrus Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 5/12/2006 Member Since: 4/6/2006	what should my priorities be? the cut from what i read seems to be just a step more important then color? so I guess cut, color, clarity and then carat. I'm not looking for a real big diamond, wanted something over 1 carat, was hoping about 1.25 and was hoping for just under $10,000. Unfortunately the setting I want is the whiteflsh champagne and that means i have to get the diamond there as well.

JulieN Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,141 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2005	walrus, found just the thing for you. http://www.winkjones.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=16366&cat=274&page=1 If you want the WF Champaigne, you do not have to buy the diamond there. They have worked with other PS vendors on settings and diamonds from different sources. ETA: hmm, seems that you now do have to buy the diamond from WF. it didn't used to be this way. well, maybe something can be worked out

I ADORE that setting and I don't blame you for wanting it Walrus! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Paul-Antwerp Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,902 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/3/2002	I am very sorry for those who are trying to access certain stones on the Elmyr-site. They are going through a major improvement, and in the meantime, this apparently causes some stones to be not accessible. We are trying to limit the inconvenience, but cannot reduce it to zero. I ask for your understanding, and I hope that they get it fixed soon. Live long, Paul Slegers Infinity Diamonds www.CraftedByInfinity.com

walrus Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 5/12/2006 Member Since: 4/6/2006	Well I have the alternate list, wondering if anyone can assist on what they think looks good. they gave me 1 expert selection, larger then I have thought about and also about 1500 more then I planed on spending, so not real sure. The others are smaller but seem to be nice as well..... http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/diamond_Details.aspx?itemcode=AGS-6849608 and http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Compare_Diamonds.aspx?idnos=2327948,2402121 PS I found this one which is even smaller, but the idealscope looks fabulous? http://www.whiteflash.com/princess/Princess-cut-diamond-2371024.htm#
