res0219 Rough Rock Total Posts: 5 Last Post: 10/24/2007 Member Since: 10/17/2007	Hi all! I have been reading through the posts and want to say thank you to everyone for being so helpful and informative. I have learned so much! I am looking to buy my first diamond that I plan to use in a delicate full bezel setting; something like this - http://www.brilliantearth.com/RingDetailNew.aspx?sid=79&type=silver&start=setting&shape= My budget is $3500 for the diamond. I would love to hear some opinions (positive OR negative) on a Bluenile.com diamond with the following specs: Price: $3,475 Carat weight: 0.71 Cut: Signature Ideal Color: G Clarity: VS1 Depth %: 61.7% Table %: 57% Symmetry: Excellent Polish: Excellent Girdle: Medium, faceted Culet: Very small Fluorescence: None Measurements: 5.70 x 5.75 x 3.53 mm Does this sound like a good deal? Thanks again for sharing your wisdom! Rachel

Are you opposed to VS2 clarity? It would allow you to go a little larger on the diamond. (I just looked and the best thing I could find was this one at $3565 with discounts: .765 G VS2 (5.90 x 5.92 mm) http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-283293.htm# This one is a little larger than the one you listed, plus WF has a lifetime trade-in policy, just in case!) ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

My fiancee is blessed in that I have tiny fingers so even a .5 ct looks rather substantial on my finger Would the Whiteflash "ideal" diamond have the same brilliance as a Blue Nile Signature Ideal? Thanks again, Rachel

If you are at all interested in it and close to a purchase, please put it on reserve so someone else doesn't get it while you are deciding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift
