Looks promising, but as you say, over your budget, so you will have to prioritize your Cs...
For the link, not working yet. Put the url in both inputs, just to be safe.

Thats SC and Staci!

Yes it has definite potential, ask someone from BN to check it is eyeclean.

 

[staci]

will they say no if its not?
so if its eye clean, its good to go for me then?

They should be able to check for you if they ask them, make sure you tell them your expectations - if you don''t want to see any visible inclusions from any angle make sure they know that.

 

[staci]

1.
Carat weight:0.75

Noticeable differences;
Fluorescence
Girdle
Color.

Decision time i guess,
though im still waiting for the email of JA.

 

[stone-cold11]

Leaning towards the E SI1 if both are eye-clean and your girlfriend do not mind the Blue Fluor.

difference really now is the fluorescence, none or strong blue?
all have good HCA results

 

[stone-cold11]

Ya, also the E SI1 has slightly larger diameter, but really that is nitpicking.

 

[Lorelei]

See which are eyeclean to decide from there plus see what JA have to say when they reply.

 

[staci]

they diamond from bluenile "was deemed eye clean!". this is what they said to me.


reply diamonds from JA

[stone-cold11]

Still no idealscope image?

I like the 0.75 F SI1 from the loupe image and numbers. Request an idealscope image and ask if it is eye-clean.

The 0.77 G VS2 looks good too, but is way over your budget.

3 diamonds from JA are all over my budget

 

[stone-cold11]

Ya, what about the previous suggestions from JA?

 

[Lorelei]

Is the diamond from BN still in the running?

 

[stone-cold11]

How about this one?

And this?

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-SI1-Premium-Cut-Round-Diamond-1211193.asp?b=16&a=12&c=77&cid=131

Request for IS image and ask if eye-clean.

If that cloud isn't an issue ( check with JA concerning it if interested Staci) and it is eyeclean this one could be a definite contender. Second one looks nice too if the clouds again aren't a problem and its eyeclean.

 

[staci]

so premium cut over ideal cut?
color F over color E?

never see this set of diamonds bec in my advanced search i only click ideal and H&A.

 

[stone-cold11]

As long as the proportion works together and the Idealscope image is good, that's all that matters, forget about the vendor defined grades.

Color you will never, ever be able to tell the difference once it is mounted.

[stone-cold11]

Promising from the loupe image and numbers. Again, ask JA for the IS image and if it is eye-clean.

And check the grade making cloud too.

 

[stone-cold11]

Can you post the 3 IS you have gotten? Or are they already sold?
