Hello All!
Me again . After a lot of thought and advice from the group... I think we are going to go with cut quality/the guarantee of White Flash and their upgrade policy vs. the other jeweler we were working with that offered more size for the $. I did go ahead and order a smaller H SI1 from WF to compare to my current I SI2 GIA XXX. I have been wearing it around for last couple of days and honestly...in a lot of environments I am not seeing a huge difference (then again my current stone is a 1.7 on HCA tool so fairly well cut) but some times I definitely do see the WF difference, almost like more depth to the stone. So taking a leap of faith and trusting in their stones even though they come at a premium.
4 Stone Options Assessed: Think we are leaning towards 3.088 and 3.063 unless we are missing something!? WF said leakage on the Expert Selection but the price is nice! 3.126 WF said they can barely make out an inclusion at 6-10 inches, rest they could not see. Does it surprise anyone how many inclusions there are on certs at VS2 clarity?
Also...someone had recommended getting a side view photo taken to assess body color. Great idea! Picture below. IMO, I am thinking the 3.088 and 3.063 show the least body color. They actually almost look better/same as the smaller G stone they used for comparison. Thoughts?
