Hello all you diamondites!
Bonjour from the Great White North.
(Actually, I''m only about an hour north of the border...)
What a strange combination of excitement and overwhelmed-ness it is to learn about buying a chunk of squished carbon!
My girlfriend and I found a beautiful three-stone, bezel set ring style in a local B&M jewelery store where they make all their own jewelery (she doesn''t like the look of prongs, and this is the nicest other style we''ve come across). I found 3 great (I think) stones for the setting (all superbcerts). They all have great H&A and idealscope pics on the website, and excellent brilliance scope results. Here are the numbers:
1 - GIA 0.23c/VVS1/H/ex/ex HCA score 1.1 ~ $540
2 - GIA 0.26c/VVS2/I/ex/ex HCA score 1.2 ~ $475
3 - GIA 0.56c/ SI2/F/vg/ex HCA score 1.2 (center stone) ~ $1400
Here are the questions:
Will having H and I colored stones flanking an F be really noticeable? What about having a 23 pointer on one side, and a 26 point on the other?
Anyone in North-western New york want to put me up for a while so I can hose my government out of its hideous excises and taxes?
