Not if it is eyeclean, ask them to make sure. If you are serious about buying this one I will give strm a shout to get him to look it over for you.

I''m upgrading the Princess that you helped me pick.
 
I also don''t mind buying from a US online vendor. I would prefer to go local, but it seems like the US has so much more variety.

I''m definitely open to suggestions. Thanks again!!

Looks nice but I don''t know much about EC. :p

that was a fast upgrade... :P
 
Lol i got bored of the princess.... i never expected that to happen!

Not really much of an upgrade though. I wouldn't mind anything between 0.8 - 1 ct :P

I'm so ashamed of myself. Look what PS made me do...

cindy, you are in excellent company here on Pricescope, I think the fastest upgrade IIRC was 3 weeks!

LOL really???

I''m not sure what really happened. Is it possible to fall out of love with a diamond that I agonized over? Apparently yes (------> answering my own question there)

Yes! This was some years ago now, again IIRC the poster went from 1.5 to 3 carats in 3 weeks!

Just to play devil''s advocate here, before you leap lets think this through a bit....What is it about your Princess that you have fallen out of love with? You probably realize an EC is quite a different look?
 
Or do you want to wait for Strmrdr''s Volcano?
 
Lorelei, its because i already have a princess with a perfectly good cut quality in a really nice setting.

Maybe.... I will think this through. Thanks for helping me out.

Most welcome my dear! Just think it through carefully before you commit and make sure doing this is what you really want.
 
I have questions:

1. What parameters do I need to be looking at to find the perfect EC? All i know at this point is that I like L/W=1.4 ratio.

2. How should the ASET look?

3. Are ECs cut shallow/deep relative to RBs?

Thanks

ETA: what about this stone?

It can depend, various proportion configurations can work, images are always essential.

2. How should the ASET look? See this page.

3. Are ECs cut shallow/deep relative to RBs? Don't always think of depth being related to spread as it is in rounds as fancy shapes can hold weight in other areas.

Thanks

Be interested to see what K says about these two, the first looks good but has a dark centre, the second is lighting up well in ASET and shows darkness in the photos ( which might not be an issue) but lets see what he says.

I was a bit puzzled by that... I''ve never seen an EC with such a saturation of red in the middle. But I don''t know much about step cuts so...

I also asked Jogia which one has the best light performance. It would be interesting to see if his response coincides with strm, out resident step cut expert.

I haven''t seen many light up like that either in ASET so lets see what ol'' stormykins has to say!
 
Jogia says the 1 ct is still the winner, although the .75 is very similarly cut.

Still wanna hear opinions on the .86 though, i like the size. Not sure if its my best option.

I will give storm the heads up and see if he will look at it.

I like all 3.
Ask if they can do a side by side video of all 3.
You mentioned they are local can you visit and see them in person?
 
Yeah, they are local so I can view them in person.

Thanks a lot strm, i know u''re busy being a diamond designer and all.

I asked Jogia for a video of them side by side too.
