Great H-A picture. Now what does it mean?

[hemicharger69]

Hey guys,

What do I look for in a H-A picture? Which one below is best? I know it''s a matter of personal taste to some degree, but without having the diamond in front of me, how would you describe these H-A pictures?

I asked opinions on these 3 diamonfs last week. But, I don''t know what to look for in these HA images. Symmetry? Reds vs black? What about the tiny triangles in some but not others? What are the white wedges? This diamond comparison analysis is like science! It draws you in. The more you try to understand, the more you find out you don''t know!

They all look awesome from the idealscope images. Seems like you have 3 awesome choices. Now just decide which size/price you want to go with.

1. JA SI 1.73 carats $17,930
2. WF ACA 1.515 carats $15,877.00 (minus PS discount?)
3. GOG H&A 1.56 carats $17,606

If you''re offering the three to me to pick, I want the big one. Second choice would be the WF ACA cuz it''s cheaper.

What Pricescope discount?

Well, I''m probably going to be in the minority again, but I would go with the largest one. I think James Allen also offers a pricescope discount; if you mention you found them through pricescope they may give you a 1-2% discount on your purchase. You will have to check with them to make sure.

5%

For my money, I''d definitely go with the Whiteflash stone. The ACA''s look gorgeous from what I''ve seen on this board.
