Help finding RB

[ilovedogs]

HI, I am looking to replace my chipped RB and am looking for alittle assistance please Can anyone recommend a great stone, ideally between 1.10 and 1.30, up to $6800? H color, S1 clarity, excellent cut, these are the things I know I want......I just have trouble with the rest! Any suggestions? I have read the tutorials but honestly it still do not know exactly what I should be looking for.......

Oh, and is it true that if I mention pricescope to some vendors they offer a 5% discount? Or how does that work? My last stone was thru Blue NIle but I would probably prefer to purchase thru GOG, Whiteflash or James Allen.

So sorry to hear about your last diamond.

As to the discount, some of the vendors offer it, and I think generally you need to pay by bank wire transfer to get it - also mention Pricescope. You may probably know that it is cut which gives a diamond it's beauty as you have been reading up, so once you know your desired specs as you already do, then it remains to concentrate on the cut quality. The diamond below has a lovely branded hearts and arrows cut, what we call a superideal which is cut to very high standards.

I added some SI2 clarity to broaden the options, you always need to check carefully with the vendor concerning any SI2, to make sure it is eyeclean to your standards. This may not be an option for you, but I thought I would show you.

The WF stone that Lorelei posted is the best bet at the moment. It is $6954 with the wire/pricescope discount.

Thanks Lorelei. I kind of have a grasp on what to look for with regards to the cut but still don''t completely know what to look for....these two look like great options. Thanks!
