Hi Mookies,

Do you have the links to the diamonds please?

Since Lorelei''s asked you for more info...hopefully she''ll be able to work some magic with that.

Otherwise, a simpler approach is to just say no when you''re dealing with a non-round, and only have numbers, and no grading certificate that shows a grade (available from only AGS)...or no reflector images.

If you like Blue Nile...consider princesses with only AGS0 for light performance, and ignore their inaccurate classification...giving them like a "good."

Regards,

I'm pretty sure I picked a Blue Nile stone for you on your thread from yesterday... that's the one I would go with. I only looked at BN Signature and AGS stones, and that was the best one from BN, IMO.

edit: ahh, I see it's been snapped up.
