the 1.03 G is very good deal.... i think that would be best one for the $PS: I did not post prices in order not to bias the discussion but all are around 4000USD, apart from the MED Fluro diamond which is 3550 USD. So which one would be best bang for buck?
Yes, i checked as well on stonealgo.the 1.03 G is very good deal.... i think that would be best one for the $
BTW: it's not listed on the US online vendor sites yet... might be too new or they re avoiding tariffs etc....... report date 6/12/25 ? $3,550 is much lower than prevailing US market prices... might go quick $ once listed over here.

go with freddy.

Think it is worth it with the MED fluro risk over the 1.04 G vbs1 from IGI ( assuming they are true to the grade) for a 500 dollars difference?( 1.04 G VVSI from IGI is more expensive)
Thanks for weighing in @Karl_K ...I forgot you have your hands full behind the scenes right now!
So glad you made a decision @mkpbv ! Sometimes when you get too much information, it bogs you down in over-analysis-paralysis!
Now, stop worrying (and looking) and wait until it gets here! Fingers crossed that it fits the bill!
tyty333, what is that spectacular piece in your avatar?
As is my luck, the diamond is no longer available so need to pick another one.
Very tempted to go for the IGI 1.04 as I do not seem to have many other options![]()
Well, that stinks, but it does happen.
You do seem to keep going back to the 1.04, so maybe its worth taking a look!
Can you return it if you do not like it?

bummer - that was a winner at that price...... You have to be careful when you post something good on Pricescope... lot's of lurkers out there with eager trigger fingers and $ to spend on nice well priced stones... (that one had a 6/12 report date didn't last on mkt 2 weeks)
IGI would be an avoid for me unless priced 1 grade lower for their reported Color and Clarity...
You really should have looked at some Med/Strong FL D/E/F's ..... they get discounted/priced so end up selling close to GIA H prices.... ovals hide some inclusions so lower clarity can be case by case... for Ovals, color they do show esp. tips.....
Yes, vendor that does offer this but I won’t be able to as I won’t have time to get another till the proposal date.
Worse case scenario, I will change the stone later in the year and might take a small loss on this one.
If I decide to change it I was also thinking of sending it to GIA for Grading as an experiment. Not sure if they would accept stone already graded by IGI.
