Choice between two round billants

[epalenschat]

Would like people's thoughts on the attached two rocks. The one that doesn't have a price is listed at $17.2k. Thanks in advance.

Once you narrow it down to 2-3 stones, you have to ask JA for the idealscope or ASET images. The G stone is really deep at 62.8. The H stone looks good on paper and in the video in terms of cut and is larger in diameter than the other, but I wouldn't buy a diamond with a black inclusion right under the table. I love it other than that.

They don't offer ASET on these two stones. Their gemologist told me that the 1.95 was eye clean from 6-8 inches away. Still a concern for you? Worth the money?

Oh goodness, that is hard to say. I just looked at their other stones in that size range in G-H and don't really see anything else. I'd keep the H on the list, but I'd look at other vendors before making a decision. I'd also go to the 1.8+ range to increase your options. I'd just rather have a stone with no black inclusions, especially under the table.

If an inclusion you can only see with a loupe, no matter what the color, is an issue for you then keep looking. I don't see what difference the color makes if you can't see the darn thing anyway. It looks like a pretty stone to me and price seems fair. If you'd buy it and end up having super vision to where you can see the inclusion, just send it back.

i'd keep looking for another stone.
