Engagement Ring Purchase

[Jj08]

Hello,

I''ve been lurking for a while and finally taking the plunge. I''ve finally chosen a stone and would like some help making the final decision. Any insight will be appreciated. Well I found a 1.54ct stone, it has AGSL cert and looks great to me. I''m buying it online so I''m quite anxious. Is there anything else i should look for? Once i do purchase and receive it? Anything in particular i should check for once i receive the stone. I have the standard 30 days. Being my first, i''m quite nervous, so any help would be appreciated. i''ll try and list as much info as possible. let me know if i missed anything. Thank you again in advance. Jj

It gets and EXCELLENT score for light return, fire, and scintillation and VERY GOOD for spread according to the Cut Advisor.

HCA =0.7

Seems like a good stone

Good luck!

Just to add I plugged in to HCA= .7

Can you get IS or ASET images from the vendor?

 

[Jj08]

Thank you for response. All of this terminology regarding light escaping, fish eyes, dark spots and the like have me going crazy. Thanks again for all the help.I apologize againfor the newbie questions.

 

[Jj08]

The only documentation they have is the AGSL report.

I''m no expert here, but according to those numbers the stone should be pretty.
I''m sure one of the experts can chime in and let you know if the stone has problems.

Btw, put in on hold if you can so no one can poach it from you while you''re still undecided.

All the numbers, angles and proportions are in very safe and excellent ranges. Do you mind sharing which vendor has the stone?

 

[Jj08]

I''ll do that right now. Thank you for the advice.

BN. Thank you for the help. It''s a big purchase and i was really nervous about it. But now that I''ve made the purchase I am anxious to see the stone. Anything I should look for when it arrives? Thanks again for the help. I''ve enjoyed the journey and can''t stop checking the forums! I''ll post more when it arrives.
