Help needed choosing a Princess Cut!

[GeorgeT]

So I have been doing a lot more shopping around online since my last post. I would really like to buy from Solomon Brothers because they are in Atlanta, where I am located.

Keep in mind, I have a $6000 budget and am getting a $3000 setting.
Also, Solomon Brothers will provide an ASET for their diamond at my request (I would make sure I see and approve of this before purchasing). I understand the ASET is necessary on deciding on a diamond, but please share your thoughts on the specs listed below.



Here are a few options I have received from one of their associates:

Option A.
.91 GIA Princess Cut
$3600
G/SI1
5.40x5.31
Table: 72% Depth: 72.4%
Polish: Excellent; Sym: Very Good

Option B.
.94 GIA Princess Cut
$3200
H/SI1
5.50x5.26
Table: 73% Depth: 74.1%
Polish: Excellent; Sym: Very Good

Option C. (this guy really fits the budget, but im skeptical with the depth)
.90 GIA Princess Cut
$2650
I/SI2
5.44x5.11
Table: 73% Depth: 75.6%
Polish: Excellent; Sym: Excellent



Thanks in advance!

we really can't tell anything by the table/depth only.

do they have any AGS0 princess cuts?

 

[GeorgeT]

Yeah I just wanted some opinions on the numbers for these diamonds. I have requested ASET images for them. He said that they CAN get ahold of AGS diamonds. However, a .85+ AGS0 is out of by budget with the setting that my girlfriend has fallen in love with

 

[slg47]

what setting is it?

 

[GeorgeT]

Verragio. Dont want to post the exact name because my significant other is always googling the name of it and I dont want her to come across this.

I know GOG carries Verragio - did you price compare with them to see if Solomon's price is reasonable? And does she need this exact same setting or have you seen anything on www.gabrielengaged.com or beverleyk.com that is comparable?

 

[GeorgeT]

Im bouncing around between a few different places and GOG is one of them. They are all about the same on the setting. I think the AGS0's are a little out of my price range because I am wanting something around .85+. Solomon Bro seems to have fair prices and are giving me a lot more information on the cuts of their GIA princess cuts. They will also send me an ASET image of the stone I am looking at.

Is this chart still valid (on stones that are not AGS 0)? Obviously, it can't tell you if it is good, but it can tell if it is not good, sort of like HCA, right?
