I dont want to go any higher than $800 for the setting. id perfer plantinum. will anyone be able to tell the difference between a hearts and arrow vs an ideal cut diaomond or excellent GIA cut stone?


thank you for the recomendations. Is there a vendor on here that will give a discount if I both the setting and diamond from them?

You may need to go down to I-J-K color in order to get an Ideal-H&A cut (these will be sparkliest) stone that is eyeclean (VS2-SI2-**when buying SI diamonds ask vendor about "eyeclean" to your specs.)

what do you guys think of these?

First GOG diamond:
Selected: 61.8% depth, 54% table, 34.8° crown angle, 40.7° pavilion angle
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.2 - Excellent within TIC range

Second GOG diamond:
The total Depth % entered suggests the girdle is dangerously thin, or the data entered is incorrect.
Skip it, a very thin girdle is more vulnerable to cracks.

would this one be a good one?

I think the 2nd GOG stone should be OK, AGS report says girdle is thin to medium, you could always ask if you are interested.

JA stone crown is way too steep at 37.5
