Ditto. Also Tac, I just want to mention again, your friend made that comment about the H diamond looking yellow, were you happy with the diamond before she made that remark? I am just concerned that you don''t rush and change your diamond purely because someone said your diamond looked yellow ( which is unlikely anyway) and that you regret it later.

absolutely ditto lorelei.
Also Tac, I am looking back through your posts and have found that your current "H" diamond is also an IGI cert - the truth is, if this were an AGS or GIA cert you would never see actual yellow in an H colour. I doubt what your friend said is true either, but maybe the chances are it could be an I/J/K..and not an H at all - sorry

Seeing as you have already seemed to run into issues buying IGI certed (of course not your fault at all

), I would really advise to stick to GIA or even better AGS this time to take the headache out of getting a stone you will love..
good luck tomorrow and just ask to photocopy the certs so you can bring them home and get help..

Is this the cost of just the upgrade? If so, I hope you realize you could get a 2+ carat stone in the quality ranges you''re looking at online for the same price or less and it would have a better certificate than IGI. Plus you could keep your current e-ring. Just throwing this out there.

I believe the OP cannot as she needs to upgrade from Jareds.

PASS!!! this stone is hiding weight somewhere. my guess

the diameter should be more closer to 9.50-9.55mm

 

[diamondseeker2006]

You need to stay away from anything with an IGI cert (IGI good cut is not worth considering for even a second). The better stones will be sent to GIA or AGS. The 2 carat stone has numbers within the ideal range. Some here will tell you to get an idealscope picture to see if it is a hearts and arrows, but really, those numbers are just fine and if the stone looks pretty to you, then I''d say it is a safe choice.

 

[tac1130]

i cant get those until tomorrow

but so far this one is better i think and i saw a picture on the vsdl on the computer there it was so beautiful ! and colorless!

tomorrow the other stones will be up promise...THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH
