not enough info need pictures.
ASET prefered but regular or IS would help.

I''ll need more information to be able to give you a judgement on all 3 stones: real magnified pictures and an Idealscope picture. ASET pictures are even better. Unfortunately, Blue Nile does not provide any, therefore, I doubt anyone will be able to comment on them.

 

[Mark4780]

I understand everyone wants pictures, but since I dont have an Aset? and all the other tests, I am asking based on the numbers alone. And actually the third link there does have a regular picture of the diamond on the GCAL cert as it is a blue nile signature ideal diamond.

Any comments woul dbe helpful even those based on stats alone. Thanks again!

The gcal pics look exellent for #3
nice even patterns and looks bright.

edit: 11% crown height is good too.

 

[Mark4780]

Sweet-I thought it looke dpretty nice too, but then again I am no expert! thanks for the input strmrdr!

Mark,

Thanks for the heads up that diamond #3 DOES have a picture and crown height information. A crown height of 11% is sweet and with all the other numbers looking within the recommended specifications, this EC is looking pretty good. The picture is rather small and a bit blurry on my monitor, but overall, it looks acceptable. No glaring red flags.

My choice, if you have to pick a BN stone, is to get this one because it has the most information, and what little you have points towards a promising choice.

If you click on the gcal report image it becomes about 2x the size and clearer.
