Another princess cut opinion

[walrus]

http://www.whiteflash.com/princess/Princess-cut-diamond-1226183.htm

This is one of the reccomendations I received from whiteflash and would like to know what people think. I have a real hard time telling anything from the ideal scopes for princess cuts, I can see differences in round, but not in princess.

It''s a little bigger then what I was thinking of getting, not sure how it will look on a 5.5 ring finger. But the quality to me seems to be real nice and not sure i could find one for about $1000 cheaper and still be so nice even if I sacrificed about .2 carats?

Thoughts?

hmmm. what are your priorities as to the four Cs?

what should my priorities be?

the cut from what i read seems to be just a step more important then color? so I guess cut, color, clarity and then carat. I''m not looking for a real big diamond, wanted something over 1 carat, was hoping about 1.25 and was hoping for just under $10,000. Unfortunately the setting I want is the whiteflsh champagne and that means i have to get the diamond there as well.

If you want something quite large, and are willing to go down to H color, this would be good: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/1967/

I'm hoping to find an F/G SI1 for you, though.

 

[JulieN]

walrus, found just the thing for you.

If you want the WF Champaigne, you do not have to buy the diamond there. They have worked with other PS vendors on settings and diamonds from different sources.

ETA: hmm, seems that you now do have to buy the diamond from WF. it didn't used to be this way. well, maybe something can be worked out

 

[walrus]

Thanks, Julie, i will check with whiteflash and see what kind of policy they have right now.

 

[Lorelei]

I think you are right in saying Julie that you do have to buy the diamond from WF if you want the champagne setting.

I ADORE that setting and I don''t blame you for wanting it Walrus!

Ok I have emailed wf, in the mean time, can someone post the idealscope image, i cannot for the life of me get to the more information link?

 

[JulieN]

the elmyr site has been down for me, too, for two days.

 

[Paul-Antwerp]

I am very sorry for those who are trying to access certain stones on the Elmyr-site. They are going through a major improvement, and in the meantime, this apparently causes some stones to be not accessible.

We are trying to limit the inconvenience, but cannot reduce it to zero.

I ask for your understanding, and I hope that they get it fixed soon.

Live long,

just so everyone knows I received an email back from whiteflash and she confirmed if you go with the champagne setting the diamond must come from them.

Have nothing to add on princess issue but must say I LOVE THAt SETTING with a princess! You MUST post pics when it''s done. It so... Micheal B but not. Great taste!

 

[walrus]

Well I have the alternate list, wondering if anyone can assist on what they think looks good. they gave me 1 expert selection, larger then I have thought about and also about 1500 more then I planed on spending, so not real sure. The others are smaller but seem to be nice as well.....
