Well, numbers are good on both. I''d pick the ACA based on vendors and the fact that BN doesn''t provide performance images such as IS or ASET. The second diamond is probably fine, but for that much money, I''d rather be sure. Also, WF has more consumer friendly buyback and trade up policies--even if you never plan on using them, I prefer to support vendors that show they value their customers.

Also, you will need to post the actual images in the thread as attachements. Links to outside image hosting sites is against PS policies and your link will be taken down.

Oops... I don't know about the link policy as a newbie here.

Here is the picture 1.... But, due to the file size, it seems to be useless.

Here is picture 2. Again, it is too small to read...

Ditto Jet, especially if you ever plan to upgrade then the decision would be to definitely go with WF, BN do not have an upgrade policy.

Thritto.

And, with the WF 5% PS discount, it may actually be less than the BN stone (not sure what their wire price is). Gorgeous!

Thanks for a good info about PS DC....

However, WF is a reliable place to buy a diamond compared to BN.


1. has more inclusion includin a cloud and feather.
2. has faint Fluorescence.

In addition, AGS is well recognized certifiacate compared to GIA?

Thanks in advance,

However, WF is a reliable place to buy a diamond compared to BN. Yes WF have an excellent rep.


1. has more inclusion includin a cloud and feather. WF will inspect the diamond for you and advise, should not be an issue with VS2.
2. has faint Fluorescence. No concerns whatsoever.

In addition, AGS is well recognized certifiacate compared to GIA? Yes, in fact AGS cut grading is considered to be stricter than GIA.

Thanks in advance,
