Apologies for the second post, my first one wasn't getting much traffic and I think it's because of the huge wall of text.

I am having a band customized from a 4 prong to a 6 prong from BGD, hence the reason all diamonds are from there.

Let's keep it short:

Here are the 3 contenders:

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.774-g-si1-round-diamond-ags-c-104063435149

I asked to have them pulled and perhaps have a pic of all of them together to help make my decision. I was told photography dept was pretty busy so she was unsure if she would be able to provide that for me. She did pull the stones and told me, due to her being more sensitive to color, she would suggest the .741 one.

Looking at the lab report for the .760 stone, is there a mistake at the center of the diamond where there is no "green circle"? The ASET certainly shows one but it's not in the report.

Just looking for second opinions.

Thanks
 
Without fluorescence to help the I out, I'd probably go for one of the G's.

The ASET you see on the report is computer generated, rather than being taken 'live', as it were. The more important ones for your purposes are the Idealscope and in house ASET.
 
Gosh they are all gorgeous! I don't think that you can really go wrong with any of them, but if I had to choose, I think I would go with #3 because it faces up largest and has better color than #1. They have all been confirmed eye clean?
 
Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

I was told that they are both eye clean from the person I am dealing with as she said she pulled them this morning and looked at them herself.

She suggested the .741 over the .774 as the size difference is minimal and they are both eye clean.

Do you see anything that should be pushing me towards the .774 other than the fact it faces up a bit larger?
 
I would go for either one of the G colored stones and I don't think you could go wrong either way. Did the rep at BGD say why she prefers the 0.74 over the 0.77?

Because you can barely notice the difference in size, especially after it will be set.

From the sound of it they likely look identical and are both eye clean.

Basically I would be paying 150$ more to gain 0.06mm x 0.07mm.
 
If the $150 doesn't push you over your budget or can't be used somewhere else then I would still go with the .77. I think that even though it seems like such a small increase, I would want to be as close to the 6mm mark as possible. Again though, you really can't make a bad decision here. =)
