I''ve also sent a diamond search to GOG, but no results yet!

I''m looking forward to hearing everyone''s opinion!!

numbers look good, they are virtual stones so you have too have a vendor call them in for pictures.
How long ago did you email GOG?

I''m sooooo glad to hear from you!!!

I only just today e-mailed GOG, so I''m expecting a day or two delay in hearing from them. So do you think these might be alright...?

I''m thinking #2 or #3 might be best from what I''ve read from your other posts.


Very anxious to hear back from you!!

 

[strmrdr]

They are ones I would consider having called in for photos.
Beyond that there isnt anything I can tell from the numbers.
I notice you went for vvs clarity you could go a little bigger with vs and get an eyeclean stone.
Some people do prefere higher clarity for "mind clean" reasons and that is fine too.

 

[prinzbsr]

strmrdr is this what you''re talking about...?

Carat Weight: 0.82
Cut: Good
Color: H
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 70.3%
Table: 62.0%
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.30MM x 5.19 MM x 3.65 MM


I''m thinking about looking closer at this one...if you thinks it''s worth looking at!

 

[strmrdr]

its slightly on the deep side but yea something like that.
Whats your budget? Maybe I can make some suggestions,

I''m trying to stay right about $2300, might go a little more for something that really POPs.

ok, not going too get much bigger because your running into the .85+ price jump so a bit over 5mm is as far as your going too go.

0.78 H VVS2 67.8% 57% GIA stk no vg vg no 5.19-5.18-3.51 $2294
0.78 G VS2 67.9% 58% GIA stk-tk no vg ex 5.09-5.08x3.45 $2386
0.82 H VS2 70.3% 62% GIA no vg vg no 5.30*5.19*3.65 $2176

those are some of the larger ones MM wise of the ones Id consider calling in.

strmrdr...

You''ve been of incredible help!! Thank you soooo much for every bit of it!

Do you have any opinion on an online vender you think is good to deal with? I''ve been around to most all of them...Abica''s, bluenile, union diamond, angara...

And I''m still waiting to hear from GOG.

 

[prinzbsr]

Strmrdr...here''s what I''ve found based on your advice

Asscher 1
Carat: .73
Cut Excellent
Color: D
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 66.4
Table: 58
Polish: VG
Sym: E
Girdle: M to STk
Fluor: M
Measurements: 5.16x5.15x3.42


Asscher 2
Carat: .82
Cut: VG
Color: H
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 69.6
Table: 57
Polish: E
Sym: VG
Girdle: STk
Fluor: none
Measurements: 5.13x5.10x3.55

Asscher 3
Carat: .82
Color: H
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 70.3
Table: 62
Polish: VG
Sym: VG
Fluor: none
Measurements: 5.30x5.19x3.65


I''ve also heard from GOG...they have located a .7x carat, VS2, G color, Assher (Asscher 4). I''m waiting on the specifics. My biggest thing right now is I can get either of the bigger ones above for less , but are they good so far? Should I not pursue some of these?

Price wise Asscher 3 is the least and Asscher 1 is the most. Also just a curiosity, but how do you feel about the online retailors like Bluenile, Whiteflash, Angara, etc.?

Thanks again!!! Yoou a HUGE help!

See if Jon can get them in.

BN sux for asschers, no pictures.
Angaro - I dont know much about, havent seen pics from them so dont know if they will call in stones for pics. The ones you found are virtual stones GOG can call them in.
WF -any Asscher they can get GOG can get and GOG has better call in terms.
WF is fine for rounds and princess cuts but just so-so on asschers.

Hello there,



I saw your post and figured it wouldn''t hurt to post the video for one of the diamonds you mentioned.





Cheers and good luck with your search!
