Virtual inventory has no pics. Are you going to work with BGD to get it brought in?

 

[blingn00b]

hmm never thought about that .... actually would you know if they can supply a picture of it? ...noob question

Thanks

They can provide a picture of it if you pay for the stone and have it brought into BGD. Otherwise, they would have to request a picture from the vendor that currently holds the stone. Sometimes that is possible and sometimes it isn't.

i see thanks....does anyone have a good suggestion for a diamond.....i am looking for something between 1.2xx - 1.3xx carat ...def ...fl-vs1.

Here are a couple worth checking out (both great cuts) -

If you want to stick with the color/clarity you mentioned:
1.22ct, F, VS1
http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity-new&id=934


If you're willing to drop color/clarity a small amount, you can save about $5k:
1.23ct, G, SI1

thanks Rocky Racoon for the suggestions but those seem to be out of my price range.

somebody suggested this

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.283-h-vs2-round-diamond-ags-104067041020#!prettyPhoto[gallery2]/3/

any thoughts...?

Thanks a lot

The H is gorgeous.

Have you thought about going bigger? http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.53-carat-g-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-267634
There are some feathers at around 12 and 1 o'clock, ask if they are durability risks.

 

[blingn00b]

sorry but which one are you talking about that have some feathers the h? or the one you suggested? what do you mean by durability risks

THanks a lot

 

[JulieN]

The G has feathers, SI2 inclusions may be a durability risk, but it is rare. The H is a VS2, so no worries.

 

[blingn00b]

oh ic thanks a lot... does it matter that its h? i was under the impressions going with def is better

 

[JulieN]

Most people can't tell the difference from the top, some people can.

 

[blingn00b]

what about the price for the h? i thought it might be on the high side? since its an h and vs1

 

[JulieN]

its a hearts and arrows branded cut. the cost of precision cutting and photography for in-house stones, that all adds up.

 

[blingn00b]

ic ic thanks a lot...still looking for suggestions

 

[JulieN]

what's your budget, and what do you want? What kind of setting are you looking for?

 

[blingn00b]

budget is 11k max for the diamond .....def vvs1 - vs1 round...1.2xx-1.3xx... im located in toronto
im thinking classic tiffany 6 prong knife edge platinum or rose gold

Thanks again for all your help

Not really seeing much in-house inventory with your specs.
A couple of posters have said that diamonds they were watching on B2C had a price increase recently, and B2C said more increases were possible.

G color would be really easy to stay in budget: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/?TabSelected=3&DiamondID=263315,201608,265916

Apparently this one "faces up like an F" but I'd ask them why it has only a limited guarantee and not lifetime http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11493/

Or you could work with a vendor to find something they don't have in house.

Brian Gavin specializes in their Signature H&A and Blue line. I would stick to that for the best cut. Look at this one.
