Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to find the right diamond for a BGD Barbara Martini for ages, and have come across two stones:
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.926-j-vs2-round-diamond-ags-bl-104091071012
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.008-j-vs1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104089117012
I had originally intended on finding a nice stone just below the 1ct mark for the pendant, but found the 1.008 last week and thought it was a really nice stone. I had been ready to pull the trigger on it, but then today, I spotted the 0.926 newly added to the site. I'm trying to figure out if the additional cost on the 1.008 is worth it. There's obviously a relatively large price difference between the stones. My main reservation about the 0.926 is that the ASET looks different to me from other H&A stones I've seen--the center is red, instead of green, and there aren't bits of blue contrast around the arrows. I've learned a lot about stones from PS over the years, but don't know enough to get a sense of whether the 1.008 is better cut (and enough better cut to be worth the price difference).
I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance
