Greetings, I've been researching for months using information gleaned from here and physical observation in stores. I'm going through BlueNile. As both a shareholder and owner of some $1200 in gift certificates, I figure I might give them a bit of support. The two diamonds in question are rather similar stats wise and both are sight unseen obviously. So I figured I'd asked the learned experts on the board for their considered opinons. Candidate 1: ($7336) Carat weight: 1.31 Cut: Very Good Color: E Clarity: VS1 Depth %: 73.4% Table %: 70% Symmetry: Very good Polish: Excellent Girdle: Thin to thick Culet: None Fluorescence: Strong blue Measurements: 5.91 x 5.86 x 4.30 mm Length/width ratio: 1.01 I've confirmed that the fluorescence has no impact on the visual quality (milkiness) of the diamond. We rather like the fluorescence, actually. Candidate 2: ($7113) Carat weight: 1.20 Cut: Very Good Color: F Clarity: VS1 Depth %: 73.5% Table %: 65% Symmetry: Ideal Polish: Ideal Girdle: Slightly thick to slightly thick Culet: None Fluorescence: None Measurements: 5.84 x 5.79 x 4.25 mm Length/width ratio: 1.01 It is an AGS 0,1,3 diamond for which I've obtained the report. The only noteworthy inclusions on the face is a small (inivisible) one smack in the center of the face. Any input would be more than welcome.

AGS0 is the easy choice here! And welcome to Pricescope
 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.

Easily #2 - it's an AGS Ideal Princess so it should be gorgeous!

Thank you. I wonder why BN has the cut on #2 listed as Very Good. In conversations with the CSRs (Liz and RuthAnn, both of whom have been extraordinarily helpful), they seemed surprised that it was a VG cut as well. Is it perhaps too deep?

It may be a glitch in Blue Nile's programmed girdle interpretation. We've seen this with rounds, in any event: GIA and AGS treat girdle measurements differently. GIA measures at the 16 thinnest positions. AGS measured thinnest and thickest places everywhere along the girdle. This means AGS ranges will seem wider than GIA's. My understanding is that BN has applied GIA's system to all the uploaded reports in the past, which has created discrepancies. On this diamond, if there was anything wrong with girdle, weight ratio, durability, etc., it would have been penalized in the proportions category by AGS. John |

Thank you for the explanation, Mr. Pollard. Its exactly this sort of expertise that lead me to ask my questions on this board.
