Hi everybody here,
I post my first article couple of days ago. After getting the comment from the guys here, I changed the criteria a little bit. Now what i want is a stone:
AGS idea / GIA excellent cut,
G color
around 1 carat
clarity >= vs2, no inclusions on the table, eye-clean
no fluorescence.
My budget now is around $5500.
I spent couple of days searching stones at pricescope, jamesallen, whiteflash, and bluenile. However I haven't found the one I want yet.
Many stones (especially whiteflash, >=50% stones) do not have the grading report with it. I have to contact with them and usually it take one to two days to send response. And Every time I can only request at most 3 reports!
I was also trying to contact the consults at these websites to help me to find the stones. But usually I am not satisfied with what they provide.
Finding a stome is so time consuming !
Anybody give me some suggestions on how to effectively find the stones? Or recommend some stones or consultants of above website? Or share with us your experiences of stone seeking?
BTW, which ventors have trade-up policy?
Thanks a lot.
