Total diamond newbie here looking for a round pendant stone. I admit I''m a size girl and want something as close to 6mm as possible. To get size and hopefully a good cut I''m willing to go with an I SI1 or SI2. The pendant will be a 14k white gold bezel. My max budget for the diamond alone is $2100.

After lots of reading and searching I''ve found three and listed them below. Do any of these seem like possibilities or is it back to the drawing board? If one of these looks promising, then what - ask for pictures? An Idealscope? Thanks for the help.

.85ct I SI2 GIA cert
6.01 x 6.07 x 3.75
Depth 62.1
Table 57.0
Crown Angle 35.5
Pavilion Angle 40.6
HCA 1.4 (ex ex ex vg)
Polish-VG Symmetry-VG
Inclusions - Twining wisp

.80ct I SI1 GIA cert
6.06 x 6.09 x 3.60
Depth 59.3
Table 59.0
Crown Angle 33.0

prefer #2 stone.

Can you get an idealscope image?
 
Hi Pierre

As Stone says, IS images would help to choose between them, the second in particular could be particularly suited for a pendant stone and be possibly bright and brilliant but IS will tell us more.
 
Okay, just received the idealscope image for option #2. How does it look? I asked about the inclusions and was told, "It''s very very clean, 100% naked eye clean."

Thanks for the help.

I can''t see the IS clearly enough to really comment unfortunately, from what I can tell there aren''t any major problems but I can''t see clearly enough to offer a definite opinion.
