Diamond worth 2,200 USD.

[stone-cold11]

Much above average but not the best because of the slight leakage at the 3 o''clock.

 

[staci]

slight leakage can lessen the brilliance and sparkling of the diamond?

 

[stone-cold11]

Probably, but also probably not noticeable at that size. If you are still having doubt, schedule an appointment with the gemologist at JA.

Staci this is a very fine diamond, on a scale of 1 - 10 I would give it a 8 - 9. There is very slight leakage but it could be it is not perceptible with the human eye, ask for Julianna one of JA''s gemologists to inspect the stone and discuss it with you.

really hoping to purchase the diamond but having a hard time. international CC issue.
It will only go through as a bank wire transfer as they say.
i wasnt able to talk to garin ad julliana. cant have appointment with her If im unable to purchase the diamond, they will not be able to make an appointment with Julianna. i need to work out the payment before we can arrange an appointment.


will be trying to send money i guess to my friend thru WU for him to buy it for me but it will cost me additional payment.

honesty im on a rush now, im checking wth the bluenile diamond right now.

felling still down alil

 

[stone-cold11]

So what went wrong with the last JA stone? Can you fixed it by soon? Are we avoiding JA stones now because of the trouble?

 

[miraclesrule]

Staci,

Try to get a hold placed on your diamonds while you search. There are a lot of lurkers on PS who will buy the stone after it's given a nod by the posters here. I've seen it happen, so be sure to request a hold for a few days while you research.

Hang in there. You'll find your perfect stone.

ETS: Stone, Lorelei, mini thread jack...what significance, if any, does scoring below 1 on the HCA have?

its ok now, just a simple misunderstanding.
they thought it was bought already, and i almost thought it was already gone
but when they double check the diamond
and when i was to give up , they saw it again and put it back on the website.
hehehe just around 30 mins of sadness

miraclerule, how do you find the diamond ?
any inputs or rating? ty

SC - no, not avoiding JA, just so happened that my other choice was on BN

its over my budget.

It is 2271 on their site. You might want to reserve that stone for further consideration

i am just wondering how do you know that its taken by lurkers?
it would be odd if the lurkers come back and boast about that same diamond they swiped from someone else yeah?

besides from price difference
color H and I
clarity SI1 and vs1
hearts and arrow to ideal cut
fluorescence, polish and symmetry.

its hard for me to compare which is better

As a consumer, I would prefer vs over SI grading. When I use the search feature on PS, I usually look for excellent polish, symmetry, and cut. Other experts will explain to you in detail what H&A is.

 

[stitch]

The HCA on this stone is

Light Return Very Good
Fire Very Good
Scintillation Very Good
Spread or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 2.7 - Very Good - Worth buying if the price is right

You might want to ask Lorelei and stone-cold for confirmation on the ideal scope and heart images . To me I think they look fine.

Scoring below HCA 1 usually has borderline obstruction issue that needs to be looked into with IS image and by a gemologist.

 

[stone-cold11]

Ya, IS for the H&A looks good to me. So the stone is still on hold for you?

yes

wich do u think is better? is there a big difference bet the 2 diamonds?
how do you the diamonds?

 

[stone-cold11]

Shouldn''t be. Slight leakage might be noticeable if you know where and in what lighting conditions to look for it in, eye-clean for both, the H SI1 is 0.1mm larger, probably not noticeable once mounted, H and I grade 1 difference in grade, once mounted, will not be able to see the difference.

So all up to you. You will have to weight what is more important to you.

Hi Miracles,

Diamonds which score below 1 can sometimes have obstruction issues due to their shallower proportions, this is where such diamonds can visibly darken when examined closely due to the viewer's head or body blocking the light to the stone. If this is the case these diamonds can make better pendant or earring diamonds as these are not subject to the same viewing angles as a ring.

Staci - so thats good news then that the diamond is still available!

 

[miraclesrule]

Thanks Lorelei. I had one of them score .8 so I was

staci: We need an update!! Don''t leave me in suspense.
