I''ve been a lurker here for about 3 months (the length of time I''ve been searching for an engagement ring) and in that time, I''ve come appreciate Pricescope for the wealth of knowledge and input from all you folks. I''ve learned a lot and it will certainly help me make an informative and educated decision when the time finally comes to buy that "perfect" stone.
While this is specifically addressed to Storm, I welcome anyone''s input...
Storm,
I''ve been working with JA (Julianna and Jim) and Whiteflash (Bob) on Asschers in the range of 1.50 to 1.70 cts. I''ve narrowed it down to the following:
JA - 2 stones
1.51 G VS2 (IS and actual image to come)
6.28 x 6.19 x 4.32
Ratio - 1.01
Depth - 69.8
Table 68
Girdle - Thick
Culet - None
Polish/Symmetry - EX/EX
Flourescence - None
1.70 H VS2 (IS attached, actual image to come)
6.58 x 6.56 x 4.57
Ratio - 1.00
Depth - 69.7
Table 62
Girdle - Slightly Thick
Culet - None
Polish/Symmetry - VG/EX
Flourescence - None
Whiteflash - 1 stone
1.51 F VS2 (IS and actual image to come)
6.30 x 6.24 x 4.33
Depth - 69.4
Table 65
Girdle - Thick/Very Thick
Culet - None
Polish/Symmetry - EX/VG
Flourescence - Faint
I''m comfortable with both vendors - they''ve been great to work with; prices are within $600 of each other, with the JA 1.51 G VS2 actually being the most expensive at $10,600; with JA 1.70 next at $10k; and the Whiteflash 1.51 at just under $10k. So the decision really comes down to the best stone out of these three. I appreciate any input you can provide.
Thanks,
AshrGuy
