andrewparker Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 4/12/2008 Member Since: 4/12/2008	I am interested in this diamond. Does anyone have any suggestions on this one? Does it look like a good choice? http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/classic-solitaire-settings.asp?cid=57&module=diamond&item=1139175

You can use this tool to find the best cut stones by selecting for cut rank Excellent Excellent http://www.pricescope.com/sift.aspx Hopefully an expert will chime in. Similar size costs $4k for a better cut stone.

andrewparker Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 4/12/2008 Member Since: 4/12/2008	Thanks, This is harder than i thought it would be. Just when i thought i was narrowing it down. I am looking for a .75 or so round cut. I guess around a E or F and VS2 or so. If you happen to find any that you think are good ones, let me know.

Check the pavilion angle and if its under 40.6 careful consideration needs too be made as too what the crown angle is. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

Are there any you suggest? in the 2500 range F-G color at JA im running into a ton of them just outside of what PS'ers like. After about 50 stones I gave up. The above one I posted is out number wise slightly but the pic looked ok and depending on the averages the IS might look good too and if it does its a nice price for what it is. GIA rounding wont let me get closer too that for an opinion on it. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

If you can not see it in person how can you tell if it is black or white or even eye clean? I have seen many GIA VS2 with eye visible inclusions... Good luck with your shopping... Troy Lob, G.G.

Just goes to show that clarity is more than a grade, it's best to have someone look at the stone. "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal
