Ok, so I''m making the PS plunge. Please take it easy on me
Is there a reason I shouldn''t like this option? (note that the GCAL report lists the table at 57%, while the blue nile photo puts it at 56%...HCA score is 1.5)
http://www.bluenile.com/round-diamond-2-carat-signature-ideal-cut-e-color-vs2-clarity_LD01127956?__fun_frm=i&filter_id=0
In my mind, the perfect diamond would be d-f, no worse than VS2, H&A or a similar super ideal cut, and as close to 2.5 ct without going over (to spare myself the size premium). Unfortunately, this isn''t an easy thing to find from any of the Pricescope vendors.
I know blue nile doesn''t have quite the same resources for a potential buy as some of the other sponsor sights, but this diamond does have the GCAL report which gives a little bit more information than the standard blue nile diamond.
In comparison, Whiteflash has this option:
http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-1050540.htm
I have a ton of confidence in that it''s "A-Cut-Above," it''s VS1 (versus VS2 for Blue Nile), but it''s .27ct less, has the same color, and costs over $11,000 more.
Am I missing something else? Thanks everyone for your help.
