I''d pick number 2. But I''d like to see an idealscope and unfortunetaly BN can''t provide that. Also, make sure these are eye-clean.

Joe, what is an idealscope?

 

[yoyo]

Oops, #3 is a G colour...Sorry I don''t know how to edit a post.

Idealscope is a technology used to view the light return from a diamond. Follow this link for more information: http://diamonds.pricescope.com/firescope.asp

The more light return from a diamond, the more brilliant it will be. Idealscope will show if a diamond is leaking light (light not returning back to your eyes) and is a tool to determine good performing diamonds vs. poor performing diamonds.

The PS community recommends the vendors (whiteflash, jamesallen, GOG, etc.) on PS because they supply the consumer will the necessary information to make a well informed diamond purchase.

Hope this helps.

Remember, you shouldn''t buy a diamond just based on the numbers, the numbers are only the beginning...
