So, I am looking into WhiteFlash creating this ring for me without diamonds around the band, and hopefully a little thinner of a band.

Are these good diamonds for the center stone?

I don;t know that much about diamonds except for cut and color - not sure what most of this other stuff means, or what is most important!
HELP!

Um, these posts won't let me attach pictures - it keeps on saying error.

I found this ring on Pricescope and am obsessed with it.

Those are both excellent diamonds by the look of it, what are the colour and clarity?

Okay - I just noticed the color and cut - didn't see it on there.
They are both J and the first is VS1, the second VS2.

Hm, is J too low? I wonder if I should get a smaller diamond, but better quality?

Depends. For many, it's fine in a very well cut stone, which this is. And stones under a carat show even less warmth (it might look creamier, but won't look yellow). But if you have no idea if you're sensitive to color, you might want to get out and look at some well cut stones, like Hearts on Fire and AGSO. Look at them in natural light, and alone. (You could very well see the difference between an F and J next to each other, but it's what it looks like alone that really matters).

"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."

Ditto!
