All looks good!

Thank you Lorelei! I appreciate your review.

This is $15k. For another $1600 I'm getting a much bigger diamond than my 1.55 HCA alternative, I am thinking that I probably won't be able to tell the difference in quality. Do you think?

Probably not, what is the colour and clarity of the diamond?

 

[melz]

The other is G/SI1.

Sorry, what is the colour and clarity of this one?

 

[melz]

Sorry, just noticed out of all the info I posted I left that out.
This one is also G/SI1 (eye clean).

Thanks! So same colour and eyeclean SI clarity, if you want to go larger then you can definitely consider this one instead of the smaller ACA.

 

[melz]

Yes, they are the same. Great that''s what I thought! Will probably go bigger if I don''t change my mind completely as a result of today''s shopping and go Asscher ....

Bear in mind asschers can look a bit smaller for the weight, so if blingy size is what you want then the 2ct round might fit the bill!

 

[melz]

Thank you, I have discovered that and it is what''s throwing me. Everytime I look at an Asscher and then a comparable size round, the Asscher loses. What I really need is two rings. Or a really big Asscher.....

 

[melz]

But in my mind, the Asscher is the hands down winner for beauty, at least when it''s blown up big on my computer screen. My boyfriend likes sparkly, and I can appreciate that preference too.

Its hard to know what to advise....You could go with a round for your e-ring then get an asscher later for a right hand ring or upgrade!

 

[melz]

No you can''t tell someone what they want! Based on today''s shopping Asschers are out though. It''s definitely a round.... or a cushion.

 

[kcoursolle]

It looks very nice to me, I wouldn''t hesitate to purchase this stone!

 

[mrmessy]

wow, i wish i had found this in my search. great looking diamond!

 

[melz]

Thanks so much! I''ve been diverted by a cushion, but once I make a decision I''ll post the fantastic rounds I''ve found and hopefully they can help someone else!
