HELP before buying (need advice)

[jillxx75]

I think I have found the stone, but would love some advice from the experts here (you guys have been great so far!) Are the feathers bad? Ack!

Certificate: GIA

I am told it is 100% eye clean and the inclusions are not on the table. The picture I have is not the best, but will post.

I''m not an expert and I know nothing about radiants but I LOVE the picture of this stone!

It looks like a beauty!

And I like how the inclusions all seem to be "lost" in the facets on the sides of the stone.

Thanks! I am just so nervous about the purchase and wanted more expert opinions.

I''m a beginner myself but all the feathers by the edge would make me nervous...Have you tried PM-ing any of the "experts"? I had good responses when I did that...

That looks like a lovely stone. Just guessing, the feathers won''t be a durability problem, which I assume is your concern. It''s not really possible to make much of a determination on this without seeing the actual stone but this plot and photo don''t indicate a problem. When you get it appraised, ask the appraiser about it. Why didn''t you include Girdle stats? They should be on the GIA report.

wow

I love it! It is so pretty! How will you set it?

I added the girdle to the original post.

I am thinking of something similar to this setting, but they would have to custom design it...

Thanks for all your thoughts and comments! This site has been so helpful.

The stone is lovely, of course, and so is the setting. If you are sure the respective jewelry shop can produce a good version, I can''t see any reason not to go for it.
