Check before I order

[toyopl]

So I'm gonna order a diamond this week, as I have been looking at it for long time. I had a thread here before that I got help with thx to you guys. You recommended 2 of the diamonds to check if they're eye clean and I found few more. Out of these I will ask JA for gemmologist to check if they're eye clean and buy one. It's about time I do So could you double check my picks if these look worth buying.
My requirements were Color G>, Ture Hearts, Clarity S1> eyeclean, Carat 0.5>, Price $1200<

The two that were picked before as good by a member here.

I'm no expert, but here it goes

1255599 has a inclusion right in the middle, ask them if it's eye clean first.
1213096 idealscope looks washed out, according GoG that means light leakage.

1248019 beautiful
1193809 idealscope looks messy
1193773 it's nice, but symmetry seems a bit off
1248023 beautiful
1248021 idealscope looks messy
1193811 it's nice, looks slightly washed out

I would pick 1248019 based on the price/color/size/idealscope

From your picks. I prefer #1 and #4. Definitely no go for #2 and #5, leakage.

 

[toyopl]

What would you say I have to do now ?
Keep the 2 original ones and the #1 and #4 and ask gemologist at JA to check if they're all eyeclean ?
Or should I drop the 2 original ones and just ask for #1 and #4 ?
What would you do with the choices I have ?
I don't see any marks on #1 and #4 but I do see marks at 2 original ones

K, so which ones I should defeniatelly keep and which one's I shouldn't even consider ?
How do I go about the process of making sure I buy the right one out of these ?
Really need a help on that final step....

good IS, Hearts doesnt look clean, there is a ring of dots, i would reject that


http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1248019.asp
great IS, good Hearts, HCA of 2.0 with EX/VG/VG/VG

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/E-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1248023.asp
great IS, great Hearts, HCA score of 1.4 with EX/EX/VG/VG

I would pick 1248023 based on the images alone. however i highly doubt you can tell the difference between 1248019 or 1248023 even with 10x loupe.

I would go for the bigger 1248019 for the price.

you can ask them to check with their geologist to see which they'll pic.

If you really really want to make sure, buy both, go to a jewler and than return one. would cost you extra $50 for the shipping/insurance, but that buy you a piece of mind

Ok, I got 2 on hold for the gemologist to check if they're eye clean and how they compare to each other,
thx for help guys, witing for results

I got response today from JA that gemologist checked both diamonds and that both of them were eyeclean and beutifull diamonds, and that both were good choices. However the bigger diamond was better pick, gemologist said it would be better to pick the bigger stone because I won't even notice the difference between E and F and that I should pick bigger and cheaper diamond.

Last time gemologist said that the diamonds I had on hold, both weren't eyeclean and I should look at something else.
I didn't like one thing with JA, both times I said specifically to e-mail me with results, and both times they called, I live with my gf so getting a phone call at home would be unaceptable, as she hears everything Good thing both times I was at work
Diamond is ready, and I'm gonna put the order through.

 

[stone-cold11]

Maybe next time ask them to email you in the email?

Good luck.
