Diamond thoughts

[gwilson30019]

Good morning!

I have been researching diamonds over the past month and have come across this diamond from a company called Adiamor.

I would appreciate your thoughts:

Also what are your thoughts on Adiamor themselves?

I have a budget of around £4000 for diamond plus platinum setting. Hoping to achieve a diamond with colour F-D and clarity VVS2-VVS1.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Bump.....Please

I also meant to mention that I mean £4000 GBP so about £5500 USD.

It is hopeless to try to pick off a list of virtual stones. You need to either work with a trusted vendor or you need to look at pictures of diamonds.

$5500 is your budget but you linked a $6000 stone?

Any special reason you are looking for such high color and clarity?

I just thought the higher the colour and clarity the better.....is this not the case?

Thanks for all your responses...much appreciated!

No...the higher the color and clarity the more rare but you are basically paying for something you cant see in the case
of clarity. You can drop down to VS2 or even eye clean si1 and not have to pay as much. Color is sort of a personal preference.
I think of G/H middle of the range. If you are color sensitive then go higher (E/F).

That JA stone you posted has a very large table. You usually want to pick a stone that has a smaller table than its depth.
You'll get a lot of glare off such a large table. And *I* like stones where the table is angled (not square)...makes for a more
interesting look.

This one is not bad either

Or you can look at whiteflash's ACA princess cuts...they should all be nice stones (AGS000). They look like they
have a lot in your price range.
