If price is a big concern, consider dropping the clarity to SI1 and maybe going a tiny bit smaller on size. Also, Blue Nile doesn't have an upgrade policy, so if that's important to you (many people don't consider it at first but then regret not getting one), look elsewhere. Whiteflash, Good Old Gold, and James Allen are good places to start. ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary

It gets a 3 on HCA ("worth buying if the price is right"): http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-283330.htm This one scores much better on HCA (1.5), but it's more expensive: http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-183726.htm ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary

gladyskristen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 783 Last Post: 3/8/2009 Member Since: 10/24/2006	I know some here would vouch for a J rock, but I personally prefer an above-J one. How abt these? 1.127ct, H, SI2, A Cut Above, H&A 1.073ct, I, SI2, A Cut Above, H&A Do note tt there's a PS discount tt you can get, so the actual price will be abt 2-5% lower than the listed price.

You will want to read about the HCA tool. It is not a selection tool, but rather an exclusion tool. Meaning if it falls in the preferred areas, it's likely that the cut is going to net you a beautiful diamond to own.
