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

It is an H and she maybe concerned about the color. I've found one that is a 1.51 SI1 G AGS for $4,000.00 more. Not sure if we should go that route or stick with this one.

thing2of2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,656 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 1/1/2007	The G SI1 is bigger but I don't know if it's $4000 worth bigger, ya know? That's a tough one...is there anything more in between? Like an H SI1 1.5 carat? Just curious as to what the price difference would be... The 1.27 you have on hold looks gorgeous, by the way. But as a size girl you know I'm going to try to squeeze more size in there somewhere!

richie5120 Rough Rock Total Posts: 34 Last Post: 4/13/2007 Member Since: 11/6/2006	thanks for the comforting remarks on diamond! I'm new to this and learned a lot over the last few months from this forum. I'm still a bit nervous spending 8k on a diamond. I did search for H SI1. Cost is around 10k. The spreads were from -1 to -3. The ones I've been looking at did not look eye clean. Seems like everytime I look at the diamond I think of a new question. Now I don't see an inscription on the girdle, it's GIA. Is it common not to have on a H&A?

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Richie, I understand being nervous (I was too), but trust me, this is a great stone! I got mine from GOG too. I think you will be very pleased. And even though it's an H, in such well cut stones, it's much harder to see color. I think it will be fine. As for the girdle inscription, it does seem there isn't one, but that's not totally unusual. Ask to be sure, and if not, I think GOG can do that (for like a couple hundred I think), at least I think they used to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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.

dfb Rough Rock Total Posts: 70 Last Post: 5/8/2008 Member Since: 3/11/2007	I think you came across a great stone - I would love to see if when you get it set - we were looking at that EXACT stone - and in fact I have asked Tim to search for me its big brother or sister - as we are looking to upgrade my wife's current 10 year old ering and want something in the 1.7 range - but I think hitting on a H VS2 cut that well (it has a HCA of 1.2) is one of those color/clarity mixes where you get as good a value for your dollar as you can - still with piece of mind on the overall clarity when purchasing sight unseen - congrats on the purchase - I bet it will be stunning when it is set -
