Can someone please help me with IS image?

[SalanG]

Trying to catch James Allen before they close for the night, can someone explain to me the pros and cons of this IS?

Thanks so much!

It''s a great IS!

I wanted this one from Blue Nile:

...but all they say is "eye clean"...no IS, no pictures

...the IS image above diamond should be good though, seems like it was the consensus choice of the stones from James Allen

Thanks Jet!

No cons. I think it is ever so slightly tilted making it look a little lighter (more pink than red) and the arrows slightly shorter between the 10 - 11 o''clock position than the color and arrow length at the opposite 4 - 5 o''clock position. No fault of the diamond - the image would be wonderful if perfectly lined up with the camera.

Looks great!

Yap, no cons, just a tilted stone when the image is taken.

...and now I will be seeing it in person tomorrow. I finally made the decision!

Just picked up the diamond, looks amazing!

Can''t see a spec on it, looks clearer than the F I looked at on Wednesday, must be the cut?

I am getting it set tomorrow, pretty excited.

Thanks so much to all those who helped!

Great news!!

Bad news...the diamond is too big for the setting. Just dropped $1500 on a ritani eternity with .25cts...what a disaster!

 

[risingsun]

Can't you exchange the setting and buy one that will fit the stone?

 

[SalanG]

It was purchased in store, out of the country. 30 day exchange, it''s been about 90

I''m so sorry to hear the news.

But I''m a little confused -- the setting that''s too small is a $1500 Ritani that you don''t think you can return? Or is it a Ritani eternity band that you bought for $1500?

Did the jeweler who was going to set the stone tell you what size stone the setting is designed for? And would you be willing to work with JA to exchange your stone for a smaller stone?

I know I''m asking a lot of questions, but I''d like some more info so we can try to help you out here!
