Which stone belongs to which grading report? We have to enter report number and carat weight for the search. I''m not finding a match. (Are you Lorelei?) Are the reports dated after January 1, 2000?
Okay, at least I know I wasn''t doing something wrong. It''s early here yet. LOLDate: 3/31/2009 9:07:36 AM

Hehehe! No you aren''t doing anything wrong, it isn''t accepting the numbers for some reason, maybe there is a typo somewhere * scratches head*Date: 3/31/2009 9:10:15 AM

It has a better angle combo than the other, I don't like such a steep pavilion angle in a diamond regardless of the crown angle with the other one, I would eliminate this diamond from consideration quite honestly. Ideally I would like an idealscope or ASET image for the 1.03 but from the info we have it is by far the better choice.Date: 3/31/2009 9:42:07 AM

Can you please explain why the 1.03 is better. I just want to know for my own education.
Mark is competitively priced, you could ask him if he could send you photos and an Idealscope image of the diamond, he might be able to arrange that and it would tell us more. The diamond looks promising but without images thats really all that can be known about it. As it is SI clarity, check it is eyeclean to your standards by asking Mark to inspect it for you. I would definitely pass on the first diamond, without doubt you can do better than that oneDate: 3/31/2009 9:48:42 AM

The price quote I got for the second diamond (1.03 ct) is $4,260. Do you think that is a fair price and will this diamond make my girfriend happy or should i continue searching for a better quality stone.
Thats great, post the new ones when you have them! Mark is extremely worthy of your trust and can supply some worthy contenders as with the second diamond above, again I would definitely eliminate the other one.Date: 3/31/2009 9:53:47 AM

Thank you. I will ask him. He just called me this morning to tell me he will send me some slightly under 1 ct diamonds to look at that will save some money. I will post these too, if you don''t mind. He is such a nice guy, I completely trust him but it''s always better to get some reassurance.
This one is what we call a steep deep with the angle ranges, it is possible that it could show light leakage. So I prefer the 1.03 diamond listed to this one.Date: 3/31/2009 3:59:53 PM
