Hey Lorelei, I know I''m breakign the rules by doing a new post. But i thought the last one was getting a little long...plus i was hoping to get some more responses.


I am giving this radiant serious thought. its a little more than i want to spend but i think its a nicer diamond than the other one although its measurements are 6.05 X 6.06 as opposed to 6.48X6.28.

will post additional info...

thanks for feeback!

Kevin, you aren''t breaking any rules - please don''t worry - it was just that it is easier for us to follow one thread, but that is fine that you have done a new one if you want to make a fresh start!

Kmick - not to be rude - but it seems to me that we are back at square one. The stones that you have found fit nicely the seemingly "ideal" proportions/numbers for a radiant and therefore have a higher likelihood of looking nice "in person" (and of making you happy since you put a lot of value on numbers). The reason why you are not getting more answers is that there is just not more advice that would help you in selecting a stone. It is up to you to make a decision now and LOOK at the stones.
1. Find stones with good numbers/ASET --> you have found some
2. Do they fit YOUR ideal in terms of color?
3. Do they fit YOUR ideal in terms of overall size?
4. Do they fit YOUR ideal in terms of price?
If 2-4 are OK - then order the stone and look at it. Point one has been exhausted; points 2-3 are up to YOU (some people like different colors and shapes, i.e. square, rectangular etc.). Number 4: While I would say that you can expect to pay anywhere between 5-8K for a radiant around 1.3ct, it depends on whether it is an "original" one or not. By the time you decide that you have found one that is in the ballpark of what you would be willing to pay, I would go for it, given that finding a nice radiant can be a lot of work!
Best of luck!
 
Pretty. Are you going to take the plunge?
 
It looks good, which do you prefer between this diamond and the other one?

well tracy said this one has a lot more fire, however the dimensions arent quite as big. but this one fits my numerics/stats as well so im thinking i like this one.

i had her order in one more that looks kind of nice too, little less expensive than this one. so im thinking this one right now however im still interested in this other one.

robo - no you''re wrong the last stone had a really low crown height and isnt as firey as this one. so really only one has really fit the numbers. im not a diamond expert like you guys so i like to get feedback before i take this major plunge and want it to be as perfect as can be!!

thanks for the advice, it is appreciated.

After seeing the pics of both radiants you''re considering I don''t think this one looks any better to me than the one you posted in the other thread. I don''t know what the difference in cost is, but to me I just wouldn''t pay more for this diamond just because the crown height is higher. Also, for some reason this diamond is appearing smaller than it should be. I have a 1.03 carat radiant that''s 6.07x5.66, so to me a 1.32 carat diamond should be bigger than 6.06x6.05. In the end it''s your decision, and you should go with the one you like better, but I know I would buy the other stone over this one.

Thanks for the feedback Coda. She is ordering in one more diamond. What are your initial thoughts on this one? It is basically down to the three ive mentioned (the one you sent, the other you just gave feedback on, and this one).
