Rookie911 Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 5/11/2001 Member Since: 5/15/2001	After receiving 2 great responses to my first posting, I have immediately seen the benefit to this service. I have 2 rings that I am looking at. Both are around $8300. I am looking for advice on if this is 1) A good price & 2) Which diamond should I favor. The information is a follows. I have been told these 2 stones are considered IDEAL. (Also any thoughts on a 18K Gold Tiffany setting w/ a 6 prong Plat. head to accent the stone??) #1 1.046ct VS-1 Clarity E Color N Flu ID Polish ID Sym ID Prop 61.7 Depth 57 Table 34.9 Crown 43.2 Pav. Depth M-SK-F Girdle PT Cullet 6.46 - 6.53 X 4.01 #2 1.107ct WS-2 Clarity F Color N FLU ID Pol ID Sym ID Prop 60.9 Depth 55 Table 34.1 Crown 43.2 Pav Depth N-M-F Girdle PT Cullet 6.69 - 6.74 x 4.09 Any help would be most appreaciated. Thanks.

Rookie911 Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 5/11/2001 Member Since: 5/15/2001	Thanks again for the advice. I too was leaning towards the second. I actually found the stone via the Internet w/ one of the companies that is listed on this service. The diamond is AGS certified with a crown of 15.0%, pavil of 43.1%, a culet of .7. The Sarin result was -0-. Is it proper to "negotiate" with the pricing of these non-M&B dealers? The price of $8300 is already a "cash" discount price. Thanks.

Although if you find the stone and vendor through this site, it might be that there is not much room for additional discount at all. You also might want to ask for additional services within the same price Pricescope

In the Internet you could find similar stones for a few hundreds less. Both stones do have proportions within ideal range. What is the grading lab issued the reports? Personally I like data for the second one more - it's larger and has a better spread (smaller depth). It also has a little less crown angle that theoretically should make the stone more brilliant. You won't be able to see difference in color and clarity with the naked eye anyway. However it's a matter of personal taste... Pricescope

Rookie911 Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 5/11/2001 Member Since: 5/15/2001	When I run the angles, I get a 1.5 and when I run the % a 1.3. Both good scores. Should they be different?

The F VVS2 scores around half the score of the first stone, and would be my pick. If you can get pavilion angle and use the cut adviser you can check the visual performance yourself. garry Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au
