I'd pass. You get what you pay for. It's a little shallow, and in that no man's land between normal "ideal" cuts and 60/60 stones. Plus, you saw it in person and it's not eye clean.

If your own eyes didn't love it, numbers wouldn't change that!

My first impression of that second one is "steep/deep," referring to its crown and pavilion angles.

You have a nice budget. If I were in your place, I'd consider adjusting my "4 C's" dials to improve cut at the expense of a little size.

 

[ayushkhatri]

thanks...so what do u ideally recommend for a 16k budget....i need a 1.7 - 2.1 G, H VS2, SI1

can u give some good examples please ?

sometimes i see good stones but the measurements suck for the weight of the stone....

Here is an expert selection stone from Whiteflash. Very nice cut and in line with your budget.

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/12220/ - Another very well cut stone that lists for 16,839.00.

For the money, I'd rather have either of the other two I linked. Better cut and vendors with great upgrade policies.

You can't do better than the WF and GOG stones listed above! Real beauties!

 

[ayushkhatri]

thanks. im just very curious as to what is wrong with this one vs the WF or GOG ones ?

That one is closer to a 60/60 stone than the others suggested. More importantly, it doesn't have any images available. No Ideal-Scope, ASET, or even a magnified image. You're buying blind. Risk and reward; you might pay a little less, but you're likely getting a little less too.
