Any advice on the following JA diamond?
- Thread starter Zingy
- Start date
Hi kb1gra, yes I was originally looking at the petite nouveau setting but it says “special order” so I think I’m going to go for the classic 6 prong - is this setting adequate or not worth it?
I have spent all day looking for diamonds on Blue Nile - it is strange how if I set “UK and GBP” the diamond suddenly becomes unavailable while it is available in other currencies...
i was looking at the six prong knife edge or the comfort fit on JA. While on Blue Nile, the classic six prong only because the petite nouveau is not available.
Aaw thanks motownmama - hopefully it’s going to turn out to be a nice surprise! I am planning to propose on our 10th year of meeting each other (which is in September). I just want to choose a nice sparkly diamond and for her to say “YES”. Hopefully I have some time to make the right purchase as I’ve got almost 2 months. However, it seems like it’s a minefield...
Obviously very grateful for everyone’s help so far!

0.58-Carat Round Cut Diamond | Blue Nile CA
It looks nice and sparkly. Thanks Mekp but it does not appear to be available for me in the UK.
This is a half carat on a 4.75 which is pretty close to size 5. Looks great!
That's a shame if the petite noveau/JA handmade 6 prong is not available. The prongs might look big with the other settings. Also I like that JA can provide an idealscope.
Would you consider Whiteflash as they have this petite setting and also their diamonds are super ideals so cut wise you can't get any better! Would you be willing to drop clarity if eye clean? https://www.whiteflash.com/engageme...-six-prong-solitaire-engagement-ring-6158.htm

I recently bought a ring with the knife edge 6 prong from JA but it doesnt come until 8/17.
Thanks istase2000 - I am prepared to drop clarity but without seeing the diamond in person I though VS1/2 would be safest - I am a newbie with diamonds!
The ring on Whiteflash looks great! However, I don't really want to worry about import taxes etc unlike Blue Nile.

That looks great (and cheaper too!) Will the strong blue fluorescence be an issue? I've read that it can make a diamond look cloudy.
Thanks ThiaChelf - when did you order the ring?
Hi Zingy,
I wouldn't rule a diamond out because of fluorescence. In rare cases it is possible to have negative impacts but the vendor should be able to inspect the stone and confirm this!
Other BN options:
https://www.bluenile.com/uk/diamond-details/LD06312512 - I quite like these proportions
0.60-Carat Round Cut Diamond | Blue Nile UK
0.63-Carat Round Cut Diamond | Blue Nile UK
0.57-Carat Round Cut Diamond | Blue Nile UK
Also, lower clarities can be completely eye clean even if scrutinised - just need to pick the right one. WF would be very honest about it.
Safe you say you've decided to go with BN, is that right?

Hi istase2000, yes I think I have decided on BN. Thanks for all these options - I will look at them.
I saw that you posted on another thread a lovely diamond but it appears to have been sold - https://www.bluenile.com/uk/diamond-details/LD13640793
Something like the above would be very fitting!
What do you guys think of this diamond? Thanks!

I like this one better and for less money. Gets excellent HCA score.

I was going to recommend that D VS1 to you from the other thread but it was already sold how about the D Vs2 I posted?
The crown and pavilion aren't fully complimentary on that one so I probably wouldn't take the risk without an idealscope or aset

Thanks istase2000! Yes, the D VS2 looks great - (again stupid question) I can see that there is medium fluorescence, will that be a problem?
Not stupid! It's rare but it can cause haziness in the sun/under UV light. The vendor should be able to check for you if it's a problem. Mine has medium fluorescence and it's great! The certificate for the D VS2 is from 2015... not sure if that's a problem.
If you would prefer to stick with faint/no fluorescence, out of the ones I posted I also really like the E VS1 (looks very clean and good proportions). If you want to maximise size, the G VS1 (faces up large - not my favourite proportions but still within ideal range)
Another nice one but more expensive

You are AMAZING istase2000 - thank you for all your help! You're too kind! I'll have to sit down and think about it and look at all of them.
Hopefully the girlfriend will be happy with whatever I choose
