dream stats for stone?

[LaraOnline]

Azbuyer''s poll on colour vs size got me wondering...

Most of us on here would be dreaming, saving or plotting a diamond purchase in the near or distant future, right?
And we all would have a fairly good idea of what we want (to pay for, and wear) in a stone, right?...
So, what will you be having?

I''ll go first.
My dream is:
1.30 carats, E-G colour, VS1-S1 clarity...Excellent - Ideal cut...

That''s my best ''all-rounder'' (for now)...
What''s your dream stats for YOUR stone?
I''m talking what you would want for yourself, not a crazy fantasy you wouldn''t pay for...

I''m not too flashy. . . a stone around .8 is perfect for me. Color/clarity wise, a G or an H and VS1. For my pendant, I went with an E color and since realized that it''s a bit too icy for me. . . If I could do over, I''d have gone with an H or I.

 

[gwendolyn]

Oooohh...let me see...dream stats would be an ideal cut round, in the colourless range with flouro (strong to give it a lilac tint but with no negative effects of course), VS clarity, and maybe 1.5-1.7ct, set in a slightly modified Torchiere setting by MWM with flouro in the surprise stones as well. Matching wedding band would be just plain platinum; I want the star to be my e-ring.

About a 2 1/2 carat princess H/I color VS1-VS2 Clarity, premium cut. I always thought a 1 1/2 carat was perfect, but right now I have a 1.71 and with my size 8 paw, I could DEFINATELY carry the off the 2 1/2!!!! YEAH for WF''s upgrade policy! Unfortunately with the move, there won''t be any upgrades for a couple of years!!!

Fun thread!

Stats: ~1.30 ct (I''m a small girl), ideal round H&A cut, E color, VS1. Setting? MM Petite Sunburst (see avatar)

 

[jewelerman]

My dream gem...
size-5 carats
shape- round brilliant or emerald cut
clarity-VS1 to Flawless
color- deep, intense, and true BLUE.

 

[JSM]

Semi-realistic?

1.8 - 2 carats
F or G color
VS clarity
H&A round

Maybe someday!

I''m not picky about proportions, nor would it have to be a large stone...1ct. is fine, any major shape, VS/SI clarity...Oh, I almost forgot to mention - GIA certed natural and vivid RED with no secondary colors!

 

[purrfectpear]

I could probably only afford a 3 carat emerald cut, but I admit to longing for a diamond like diamondfan''s. I''d have to win the lotto first

the men seem to dream of COLOURS!
...you've given me an idea for a one-day man-present!

But I think I'll be going for (saving up for?) a teensy Jewelerman's blue...

 

[risingsun]

Current:
1.234 ct, G VS2, A Cut Above RB set in my HOF semimount

Semi-realistic:
!.75 ct, G VS2, A Cut Above RB to be set in my HOF semimount

Unrealistic:
2.5+ ct with the same stats as above

Curently thinking about an upgrade to 1.5 ct, same stats as above

My jeweler's desire is to have me switch my center stone to HOF

 

[Dancing Fire]

a well cut G-H VS2-SI1 2.5ct rb with high crown and small 54% table.

[LtlFirecracker]

semi-realistic

1.25 well cut round F-G VS in a solitare setting

unrealistic

same as above, but blue . I saw one at Tiffanys several months ago. The sales lady saw me looking at it and said "you like it." I said "uh yah" she said "it is the most expensive thing in here" My BF smiled and said "leave it to LFC to find the most expensive item at Tiffanys in less than 5 minutes "

2.2-2.5 carats
Antique cushion cut - squarish, chunky facets, large open culet

This is fun!

My dream stone stats & future upgrade dreams:

3.5-4 carats
AGS or GIA E or F color
VS2 to SI1 (eye clean)
I'd love fluorescence!

 

[vespergirl]

Mine would be D-E color, mild blue flour, VS1, 3 ct, H&A idea cut for an RB.

Or, same stats for a 5 ct EC.

D/IF for me. For now, 1.5 is fine but as I age and my figure gets larger, the diamond should grow with it.
