Hey everyone!
I've narrowed down my choices to two ideal princess cuts from jamesallen and I've tried to get some kind of indication of what ideal means
Anyone have any practical experiance on how Ideal is the jamesallen princess cut is? (well after seeing the goodoldgold video on "Not all ideal cuts are created equal" -- I'm kinda cautious)
I took a look at the ASET image for one, decent symmetry, good light return (more reds than green), but no decernable blues and black regions where the blue should be for what I think would be a good Ideal cut! -- Jamesallen did say their ASET imager is broken and I still dont have ASET image for my first choice.
Btw, my priorities on a diamond
1> Cut, Fire and Scintillation
2> Brightness/light return & symmetry
3> Color, Clarity, Carat, Price
And finally here are my two choices, in order (Both are in the $5K range -- my budget for a 1carat)
1.> http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1432687.asp (I choose this one because of the dimensions)
2.> http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1320414.asp
