Another option

Would the color H show up yellow on yellow gold?
How does this diamond look?

Or this http://www.whiteflash.com/round/Round-cut-diamond-195544.htm

I know one is a H&A and the other not. Will a naked eye see the hearts?
Thanks so much!!

It would be easier to help you if you kept all your options on the same thread.

With an H stone, I am pretty sure that you won''t see the color (unless you are color-sensitive) whether it is set in a white or yellow metal. As for the H&A, I have an ACA myself and I can''t really see them with the naked eye. However under the loupe I have which I think is 10x magnification, the H&A are clearly visible.

The problem with the second one you chose is that the images and other info is not available on WF''s website. That is always good to have to actually see the light performance and such. However, I guess WF could call it in for you.

If eye clean, you can''t go wrong with an ACA. However, I''d like the info on the other (I mentioned in other thread), it could be quite pretty itself.

Thanks !! Sorry about that. I started this thread to talk about what appears to be real options. The other thread was more about that 1ct $800 diamond that seems to be a mistake. But I will not start anymore threads. I know it must be annoying. Just anxious!!

Here is what WF has recommended to me for my price range:

Did they say if these were all eye clean?

I''d go with 1 or 4, assuming eye clean.

 

[trini_me]

Funny, I did ask that in the email. Still waiting for a response. Thanks Ellen!!

Ditto, and an H in this size will be absolutely white. Have no worries about that.

How about #4...it is color I. Think it will still show white>? Thanks

Yes, it should face up white and beautiful.

It will face up very white and in *some* lighting situations you might see a little warmth from the side. By the way, the center stone of the ring in my avatar is an H and the others are I''s. Can you tell the difference? I''ve sat and stared at them and I can''t. I can see warmth in the stones when I lie the ring on it''s side on a piece of paper, other than that, they are WHITE.

I like the people at WF. I asked their opinion on which they would pick. He came back with 1 and 4. Now either he is honest or he is reading my posts LOL
Still waiting to see if the are eye clean. Thanks again guys!! You have been great!!

Or both.

They are very honest.

Ok...the 1st http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Diamond_Details.aspx?idNo=283257
and the 4th http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-283255.htm
Are both eye clean!!
The other 2 I posted are not.

So I am leaning towards the 1st option I know it is more expensive and also smaller (be it, not by much) but the color is an H not an I. But may concern with the 4th one is that on the report it looks like a lot more inclusions. I would love to save 250.00 and buy the 4th option, but am just worried about all the inclusions on the report. Any thoughts? Again thanks so so so much for all the feedback. You guys and gals have been great!!

When the diamond is set you will not see the hearts. The hearts view is only seen from the bottom of the diamond, from pavillion side. The arrows can be seen from the top of the diamond, although many non hearts & arrows diamonds also show arrows.

If 4 is eyeclean, wich it is, I'm not sure why the inclusions would bother you. Unless you just don't want to see that many through a loupe...which some people don't.

An I in this size would be fine IMO.

However, with only a difference of 250.00, get the one your "mind" is comfortable with. Then, you'll have no regrets.

 

[trini_me]

Thanks!! I am going to go with number 4! I just hope it really is eye clean. We both have 20/20.

You might, if you haven''t already, tell them what YOUR definition of eye clean is. For instance, if you don''t want to see anything from any distance at any angle, tell them. Then see if they can ok it.
