Hi, all

After couple fail to buy attempted.  I have narrowed down the last 2.  I don't know which website has more reputation, but I believed they are both good.

This is the first one from GOG

http://www.goodoldgold.com/classic/1_146ct_g_vs2_h&a.htm

and this one is from White Flash

http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-179742.htm#

Both is H&A cut.  It is hard for me to decide.  I am planned to purchase on Monday

By the way, does the old date diamond means it has been used? 

Please give some opinion. 

As always, thanks for your guys helping and appreciate it

No, but you aren't given the additional confirming feedback from AGS of 0 for light performance.  I think that would tilt the scale for me.

are you getting a setting as well?  sometimes selection can help make a decision.
otherwise, you can also look at upgrade policies or something else that might help you choose one over the other.

that is a possibility but keep in mine there are diamonds with new reports that have likely been traded in as well.

Both have EX-EX-EX-VG from the HCA as I did the calculation

I am going to do the custom design for the setting elsewhere

Simpleplan,

Since you have Jonathan's review at G0G...you may be as fine with his as not.  And...having a preference for one vendor or another can readily weight in the balance.

Still...see the HCA's author's comments here re relying on the HCA...

Hi simple,

I'm not sure how you got there, but you're on GOG's OLD site, and in searching the new one, I don't see that diamond at all. I think it's just still listed on the old one.

I looked and found a couple on the new one.

This one is facing up about the same size, AGS Ideal, but there's no pics, would need to get those. 7620.80 Bankwire price

(would ya look at the upper and lower girdles) tight!

or

There's this one, slightly bigger, slightly more. 8864.64

"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. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
