BLUENILE, MONDERA, ET AL

[HawaiianScotsman]

I know there has been some negative talk regarding high prices at bluenile and their ilk...I guess it''s not on all their diamonds. I posted some specs on two diamonds from them and would like some opinions.

Well....I plugged the numbers into the good ole cut advisor, and the results were:

stone #1 - 1.3, Ex Ex Ex Vg
stone #2 - 1.4, Ex Ex Ex Vg.

Pretty darn equal on that account. Thought I'd try to save some of the experts who will hopefully be responding a little trouble. I don't know how the prices measure up. One might be concerned about the thin girdles, and you should probably see magnified pics of the diamonds to check on visibility of the inclusions.

Just my very slightly educated opinion!
