Hey PS,

Thoughts/concerns about this ring? 1.51 Carat G/VS1 Hearts & Arrows

Very nice stone but it is not true H&A for your information. I'd prefer the combo 35-40.6 than 34-41 and also lower half to be 75% (personal preference though).

you can see a bit of clefs in each heart, this is the indication of near perfect H&A stone. But overall you can't fault it much :)
 
Asets look good, numbers look good.
 
I like the specs I can see. However, there is no image of the actual diamond on the site, nor an aset or idealscope, nor proof of hearts and arrows if claiming that. Can you request an aset from the vendor, as well as an image face up of the stone and if they are claiming hearts and arrows a picture of the hearts/arrows under a firescope. If you request an aset, if they would do a tilt from 0 degrees to 20 degrees to show the difference that would be even more preferred (ie if they made a video).
 
ID jewelry is well known on this site. Call them off and tell them pricescope recommended you before you ask for the images n64bomb suggests. They know what we like! Then post the images here for more feedback. Good luck!!
 
How's this one?

1.52ct G-VS2
 
Looks really good! The cut looks nicer than the first one.
 
The grade setting clouds appear to be off to the side, which could probably be covered by a prong. But I would confirm with IDJ whether the stone is eye clean/at what distance and that there aren't any transparency issues with the clouds.
 
Wow, they both look knock-your-socks-off gorgeous. Also very similar from a cut perspective. If I had to pick one on the spot, I'd go with the JA one because it's a little less expensive, and a slightly larger spread.
 
The JA has a nice small table. Both will be great, although I think the reflection images look slightly crisper on the B2C one. I think they would both be very nice diamond.

Just be aware of both vendors about their upgrade policy if you were wanted to B2C do not give you the full value of the diamond you bought back towards a new one. JA will require x2 the value so you'd be spending a minimum of ~ $23k for a new rock.

Although they are beautiful diamonds, at this price I may opt for an ACA incase you wanted a future upgrade

If you don't plan to ever upgrade, then enjoy!
 
These are both beautiful... I never ever considered the G/SI1 or even H/SI1

I'm a little hesitant on that clarity.

I've definitely been doing some research but for mindclean sake I was thinking at least VS2 but... You may be opening up my horizons even more here.


Any thoughts?

G VS2 is a safe bet... :))
 
I would call Whiteflash and ask them to pull both the G/SI1 and the H/SI1 and do a comparison of how eye clean they are (from what distance and at what angle) and an assessment of color. The H may be a high or low H and that may sway your decision. They have excellent customer service and would be more than happy to help. If upgrading is at all an option, then Whiteflash is the better choice. However, the B2C and JA are gorgeous and you couldn't go wrong with either of those.

You could get a G/VS2 ACA, but you'd be sacrificing a bit of size: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3737619.htm
