Advice buying from b2c Jewlels on a 1.37 & 1.39 RB diamond

[Cluelessmel]

Has anyone purchased a diamond from b2c Jewlels?
What were your experiences with them?

Can anyone share their expertise on these two diamonds. Which would you chose? What is the 60:60 ratio and would this apply here?

How concerned should I be about the HCA score?

Would the diamonds appear shallow? What are the 'ideal' specs for a RB diamond?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!

I am no expert but the HCA calculator shows the 1.39ct having excellent scores throughout. It also has a thinner girdle which hides less weight allowing the diamond to look bigger when set in a ring. So it is definitely the better stone to get between the two, all else being equal.

1.39ct = HCA score 1.2 - excellent
1.37ct = HCA score 2.0 - very good

These diamonds are really high specs.. both must cost a lot! All the best!

From memory, Ideal specs are:

34-35 crown angle
40.6-41 pavilion
54-58 table
60-62 (or 62.3) depth

there's a cheat sheet somewhere here on PS with them as well.

I'd want to see idealscope images of them and get a gemologist review before deciding if it were me.

Hi

B2C Jewels has been selling online from long time now, they are known for good pricing, I think they provide the best price
in online trade, all the policies they have are friendly and you can take the best advantage of it especially free return shipping,
in case the stone you buy is not of your interest.

Many Pser have bought the Jewelry/Diamonds from B2C, you could go through couple of PS links below, pser's testifying about them:

I think both the stones comes under the category of 60:60, you could go through this link below to read more:

https://www.pricescope.com/wiki/diamonds/60-60-proportioned-diamond

HCA score helps you filter the right stones for you, I think if you have the 20 stones and want to select the best one
and buying online, HCA does filter it and makes life easy, however its not the perfect way but does help especially when
you buy online.

I think I would go with 1.39ct because I like depth and table better than the other one, 1.37ct has bigger table that
could be little shallow.

Ideal specs for the RB diamond
Depth : 60-62.30
Table :54-58

I think B2C is the good company to do business with, I think 1.39ct stone should be good, B2C have started providing
the Idealscope Images, if you could ask they might provide you, which also helps determine light performance.

The diamond blueprint feature on their website is very helpful. When you are making a direct comparison between two stones, the additional spectral photography illustrates the subtle nature of light play.
