Hi Guys, this is my first post so be gentle!
I have been looking for a diamond for a plat engagement ring for about a month and quite early on discovered Goodoldgold.com. Jonathon and this co seem to be highly regarded and having seen from loose stones in a London Hatton Garden shop i actually decided i might be safer buying with his help over the internet.
Anyway Jonathon has recommended a I coloured VS2 stone as being a great buy- it featuring very very well in the Brilliance Scope (scoring at the far end of very high in all 3 areas). The stone iam looking at is just over the 1 carat.
Jonathon does not think i should have any worries about the stone appearing at all yellowy but i am not 100 % convinced. The Hatton Garden jeweller i saw only sold e,f and g''s and was dismissive of anything higher up the alphabet.
I would be very grateful for anybody else''s experience with this kind of stone or any other advice they might have about colour. I just dont want to buy something that will not look on its own less than a pure white.
Thanks
Matt
