Hello All,
Wanted to get everyone's opinion. I am looking for a single solitaire engagement ring in a simple Tiffany style setting. I originated started to look at a local jeweler here in the SF Bay Area, Padis in the Jewelry Mart. They sell the Forevermark stones. Here is what they showed me:
I questioned about the H&A since based on one of the info out there (attached below), the dimensions of the two stones would not produce a H&A pattern.
The reply from Paris was:
Any diamond with a triple excellent cut grade should exhibit a hearts and arrows pattern only viewable with a special scope (we have one here). In addition, we have and aset tool which shows the light return. I just checked the 1.01 carat F VS1 and it does exhibit hearts and arrows
So my first question is would these two Forevermark Stones provide a H&A pattern. I know that one is buying more the name than actually getting a "better" stone from somewhere else. With that said, I am really considering HPD or a ACA WF. With the info on the HCA, Ideal Scope, etc. looking for the stone that has the most vibrance, sparkle, and the most bang for the buck. Looking for a ~1ct round, D-G, IF-VS2, which one would be a better choice, HPD or ACA WF?
Thanks for reading and the suggestions.
