Diamond Decision

[katey168]

hi,

Can someone please help me to decide either on the I, VSS2 or the H-vs2?
I have them on hold and not sure if one is better than the other,

would you pay for 8550 for the H
or 8336 for the I?

I like this diamond quite a bit. It is better cut than the other option, so will have more fire and sparkle. Can they provide a video? Its helpful to see how the facets turn on and off.

This is also worth looking at, you just have to request an ASET or IS from them.

as i was getting ready to charge for the H ring the price jumped significantly to 8800, it's a bit out of the budget which we want to spend?



what's your thoughts on this I, and H ?
I don't know how to read AGS certificate, so not sure which one of these is the best one to buy?

#4 looks better to me than your choices. My choices would be 3, 4 (if ASET or IS ok), 2, 1 (if these are all within budget). WF gives you 100% of cost toward a tradeup; BN $ JA give you 100%.

#1, https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...rat-h-color-vs2-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-2785606 (1.21, H VS2, $8170)*
#2, https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3833696.htm (1.092 VS1, $8036)*
#3, https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3880973.htm (1.2 VS1 $8166*
#4, https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD09109551 {as for IS or ASET, but within FIC range so will be very fiery; very clean clarity; 1.27 H VVS1; $8408}
*have all imagining need to eval

All of these require followup to evaluate. But, seem to have potential to the extent that I can tell from what is online.
https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/R142-870265683, need IS or ASET
http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9569028/Round-diamond-H-color-VS2-clarity, need IRL photo, IS or ASET
http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9569099/Round-Diamond-I-Color-VS1-Clarity, won't show cert, need IRL photo, IS or ASET
http://www.agslab.com/pdf_sync_reports/104094720001-PLDQR.PDF, can't open link

Trade Up policies ...if those might come into play some day

WF - 100% value of original stone - spend same amount (or more) as original stone
JA , BN, Enchanted -100% value of original stone - must spend 2x cost of original stone
B2C - get 80% of original stone to put towards new stone. Dont have to spend 2x on new stone.

thank you! i will compare the BN, JA and White flash..
what are your thoughts on these H stones?
I put the data in for these 4 diamonds and received HCA scores of: 1.3; 0..8; 0.9 and 1.4,, is the .08 and .09 has the highest sparkle and fire?
And we also put in the AGA/NAJA Cut score and what's the difference between a crown angle of 1B and 2 A?
WHAT IS the difference??

• Tab Percent: 1A
• Crown Angle: 1B
• TotalGrade: 1A

AND:

• Tab Percent: 1A
• Crown Angle: 2A
• TotalGrade: 1B

THESE 4 diamonds are ON B2C:
The difficulty is that they are so minute close in prices and caret, SO.do you pick a VSS1, Internal Flawless, or the HIGHEST COLOR or most affordable?
ONLY ONE: we thought we leave it to the experts lol
1) most affordable: $6794.00
1.20 H-VS1- HCA SCORE: 1.3 AND TOTAL: AGA/NAJA CUT SCORE: with crown angle 1B .TOTAL GRADE:1B

Did you eliminate the 4 stones suggested above? Are you trying to stay with B2C?

All these stones you listed, like the previous batch, require additional information.

http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9569028/Round-diamond-H-color-VS2-clarity {need IRL photo, video, ASET and IS}

http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9713303/Round-Diamond-H-Color-IF-Clarity {has a photo, but it is really oddly proportioned and therefore hard to interpret. Need video, ASET and IS}

http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9698589/Round-Diamond-H-Color-VVS1-Clarity {need IRL photo, video, ASET and IS}

http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/9677293/Round-Diamond-G-Color-VS1-Clarity {eliminate. IS reveals significant asymmetry in cutting}

If the stone is AGS0 and you have an IS and IRL photo, that is sometimes enough for higher clarity stones.
