After weeks of lurking on this site and searching for diamonds I finally thought I found the one. So last week I called Blue Nile and asked about a visual inspection to make sure the stone was eye-clean, and they put it on hold for me while they inquired about the visual. I called a few times since then and they told me they hadn''t had any word yet on the visual but they would call me when they did. Each time they confirmed the diamond was still on hold for me.
Today they called and told me "something unusual" happened - someone else had bought my stone "seconds before" they put it on hold for me. Seems a little fishy to me, considering no one mentioned it the last three times I spoke to them.
Here''s the one I put on hold:

They did tell me they found a great replacement for me. Here it is:

It does look like the specs are good, it''s bigger and less expensive, although I notice the symmetry is not ideal as in the one I picked, and the table is smaller. And the fact that the one I picked was sold out from under me kind of bothers me.
I would love to hear thoughts on this - both on the diamonds and Blue Nile''s behavior.
