can anyone see anything wrong with this diamond?

[gbreaux]

I''m wanting to put this diamond: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/3496/

in this setting: http://www.billbarnes.com/product.asp?product=7133

for my wife. she''s a bit nervous, about the expense and all. i''ve moved my budget up a bit when i found out about what a good cut diamond can do. but you all have been keeping me straight so far. it''s going to have a couple of .25 pts. on the sides.

does anyone see any warning signs here? i''m ready to pull the trigger and stop shopping and comparing. my eyes are hurting from splitting hairs! nite after nite...geeze this is hard work.

thanks for looking and advising. the help is much appreciated. noone "steal" my rock ok.

The diamond looks gorgeous - great job!! One thing, you might want to put it on hold ASAP in case there are any lurkers out there!

 

[gbreaux]

is the hold non-refundable?

 

[JulieN]

err, there''s a cost to hold?

 

[gbreaux]

Yes, it looks like 500.00.

you can always find another G VS1. no problem. it's the H SI1s, probably trickier.

I wasn't aware of that.

ETA- it seems you were successful in reserving it.

I went ahead and put it on hold. hope everything works out in the morning when i talk to jonathan. i wanted him to "see" it before i put money on it.

i''ve been looking / lurking for a week and a half and that''s the best one i''ve seen so far. i''m starting to see stars and hearts and hearts and stars in my sleep.

i was intially, and until now, also shopping w/ a local jeweler as well as white flash out of houston. all 3 had my specs and was looking for rocks. i don''t think the local guy can compete w/ the tax advantage and i viewed about eight rocks from white flash this evening.

i like this one the best....so let''s hope everything works out in the morning!!
