Final selection of a 0.70 carat ideal diamond!

I think you are back to your original choices from the other thread:

http://www.zoara.com/diamonds/p_round_excellent_cut_i_vvs2#?p=7552812 if you aren't willing to drop to an SI and get the Whiteflash stone for about the same price. (my vote is still whiteflash)


James Allen will give you up to 3 idealscope images to check light performance. So we have to narrow down the choices wisely.

a 60/60 stone- it will have more white light than fire. Nothing wrong with that, just a different look.

this one has srtong blue fluorescence, which you'd need to ask about, but the numbers are the best.

H / VS1 - $ 2,070
applies the shipping costs amounting to $ 250 which increases the total price becomes expensive for me.


bunnycat, I have to be around $ 2000 unfortunately. What does Diamond 60/60?
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.71-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2154599
There is a brown spot.

I like that, considering that I provide a discount of $ 100 and free shipping is ok. Please send photos and ASET idealscope. Thank you
 
Did you get the images got the other two as well?

That one has quite some green along the edges of aset which means less intense light return and there's a black carbon spot on the table. It's above average but I think the other two might be better.
 
No, for now I'm waiting for the other photos. I'm afraid but stain is visible, although shop manager tells me that is pure to the naked eye. But I can bring in the eye.

a 60/60 stone has table and depth around 60. It is NOT bad and there is NOTHING wrong with it. It just means you tend to get more white light return than fire. I'd take a 60/60 any day over a diamond that is going to leak in the middle (steep or deep).

The goal here if you've followed the other threads at all is to to hit all these parameters and find a candidate that conforms to these as best it can, without overly obsessing about minor details like H/A.

-nice performance
-.70 or bigger
-I VS
-no fluor
-around $2K

I don't personally see anything seriously wrong or overly leaky about the B2C stone, though the black spot is a concern. Aset's do have some green on them, even excellent ones. Between the ASET and idealscope on the B2C stone, I'd say it is fine. It most closely resembles the third pic below:

Today I was in a jewelry store in Milan, but here nobody sells I color. For have it, you have to order it. The store manager has advised me to take H color and SI1 not visible to the naked eye. I decided to follow his advice, and to raise the color of at least one color. I requested to Zoara, b2cjewels and james allen to send the proposals with the ideal characteristics (depth, table and more) for H Color and SI1 purity. Tomorrow send me photos of what they have. I must finally select.
For now I like this

Don't be tempted to go for the cleanest looking SI1 you can find. The clarity characteristic is cloud and the diamond appears noncrisp in the video and has a chance of being cloudy. It is SI1 for a reason.

This seems like a nice diamond. The strong fluor will go well with the I to make it appear whiter. It looks very well cut. Ensure to ask about no oily appearance from the fluor. $1690

I really like this stone too! It's a good price and looks very clean. Ask if they can get idealscope / aset
 
Hello, I don't like Fluo Strong. (even diamonds by Brain Gavin)

This is what is meant by cloudy/crispness

How about these?

I know it's SI2, but what do you think of this one? it's a true hearts, not sure why the hearts image and idealscope are not uploaded.

The cloud inclusion is listed first, but it looks fairly lively to me. They have a idealscope that they're going to send me and I'll post it here and hopefully check if the clouds affect brilliance.

35.5 crown and 40.6 pavilion could be a beauty. I have one myself with those angles. Need an image and idealscope though

Look very very good! I like it. Have I ask for Idealscope image? Why it is SI2, I don't see why.

there is a feather on the edge, but it's white
Yes, go on live chat and ask them for the idealscope & hearts image and post it here. The stone is in New York so they can obtain this for you.
Personally I would pick this stone, because it's cut very well. I know some people don't like feathers, but you can ask the JA gemologist to check if the feather is an issue and the feather can be covered with a prong.

This one I see so inpure and unclean...Do you think so?
Click to expand...
it's magnifed 20x, if you zoom out a lot, it looks eye clean.


The B2C G SI1 is definitely not very clean, can pass on that one
 
To my very untrained eye that is lovely and a super SI2 find. I would definitely put it on hold until the experts weigh in so someone doesn't buy it before you have the opportunity to choose it!

bunnycat, do you like this diamond?

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.72-carat-h-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2565715
I'm waiting for idealscope images (72h) and some info for Fedex shipping tax.

This is a beautiful diamond - I actually just considered it myself for my stud upgrade and saw it in person. It's 100% eye clean and a great performer. The only reason I didn't go with it was because I wanted bigger and ended up with .80's.
 
Graet news, thank you!
saw it in person - I envy you so much!
 
I have blocked it for 48 hours!!!!
I'm waiting so much Idealscope photos to post it here!!!

Can I buy it without those photos?

Is this one better?
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.73-carat-h-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2523527

Has crystal inclusion
Click to expand...

I wouldn't say it's better but it's also very nice - the .72 is cleaner since it doesn't have a crystal right on the table like this .73 (which also look like it's reflecting). At this size, the .73 should also be eye clean but since it has the crystal and is also slightly more expensive, I'd still choose the .72.
