Diamond Help

[neomaxed1]

Hi,

I''m considering purchasing one of the following stones over the internet. The Dealer is in NY whom I''ve talked to over phone and is a wholesale cutter. From the conversation, he seemed legit, but who knows. The price is $6,780 and $7,580, respectively. Could someone shed some professional light on these stones ans which I should go with and also thought about making the purchase online and what to look for.

Thank you!

Both can be good from the numbers. GIA graded? Can you get an Idealscope image for both and post it here? Also, is he selling it as an H&A stone? If so, get both the hearts and arrows image from him too.

Welcome!

Both show potential, an Idealscope image would be useful for the second diamond in particular, if these are sold online you could request one from the vendor, also if these are said to be h&a do you have images of both hearts and arrows for each diamond please? I assume these are GIA graded?

This page explains Idealscope images

What''s the name of the dealer?

Maybe someone here has dealt with them before and can comment.

Without the ideal scopes: my pick would be the first diamond. I don''t think there will be any visible difference to justify the $800 more price

Yes, both are GIA certified. I don''t have the images. The vendor is "Gem Stone King"
