Hey Sara, your link doesn''t work. :-)
0.9-1.0ct could work too.
Thank you again!
 
Thanks, Stephan, I went in and fixed it.

Is the table too small on this one?

Also, QueenMum, are you okay with the size being slightly under a carat?
Because I found a few nicely-priced stones in the .90 - 1.0 range in the D-F color range that might work proportionwise.

Sara, it looks promising.
The stars are lovely long!
My only concern is the obstruction between 3.00 and 7.00.
... Karl?

JA pics are way over obstructed would need an IS to say.
You can get a much bigger diamond for the same money.
So unless you want an E I say out.
 
Yes I wondered about the obstruction, too. I''m not so good at reading the photos. Karl will know
 
I gotta go back to work, but here''s one more -- better price, larger size, 1.20 J VS2. Not sure about the table size and the notation about the clouds.

Wow, that''s a high crown Sara!
 
Yeah, it could be a firey one, Stephan! I'm not sure if the table size is an issue, though

ETA: And the depth could be an issue, but most of it seems to be in the crown!
 
I have to cook something, I''m hungry.
Keep posting!
Thanks everybody!

These are my top 3 picks so far

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1231081.asp

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249146.asp

Comes down to size price and color and how the IS looks

Karl, may I eliminate the second one? (1.51 I VS1)
I think its optical symmetry isn''t good enough (look at 5.30).

I really love the 2 others, my favorite being perhaps the 1.05 I VS2.
Yet its girdle is slightly thick.

Would the 1.21 H VS2 be AGS0?

Is there a brillanteering issue on one of these two stones?
I suspect my fav (1.05) to be slightly dug out.

The 1.51 I has one slightly small heart not a huge issue.
I am not seeing any issues with the any of them but reserve judgment until I have seen the IS.
 
Let me do a request now.
I''ll post the IS pictures in this topic once received.
(I think it can take up to 48h.)
Thank you very much for your time, Karl!
 
"Would the 1.21 H VS2 be AGS0?"
Yes it could get AGS0
If the IS looks like I expect it to then it is likely it would.
No one can say for 100% sure without running a 3d scan through the pgs software.
 
Thanks Karl!
I did the request.
 
kewl

OK guys/gals, I know what was called ''ring of the death''.

And I know its HCA is only VG:

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VVS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249152.asp

But I find this diamond attracting.

Will it perform nicely in matter of fire under strong lighting?

need to see the IS
A ring of death will really be a ring of death to you because it isn''t being hidden by a 2 eye view so we need to be careful.
Fire should be great but a different look than the other.
It depends on the extent of the under table leakage.

I keep looking at this one.
I really like the clarity and the optical symmetry of this one.
The pattern is also gorgeous.
It is AGS0, but there could probably be a ''ring of death''.
It would be a GIA EX cut too.
HCA score sucks.
I feel guilty to ask JA so many IS pictures.
Is there any chance that the table isn''t dark on this one or do I really have to disturb JA once more to know the answer?

Definitely need an IS for that one Stephan.
 
Hi Lorelei!

That''s what I think too, I will probably have to request one then.

About the 2 Isee2''s we''ve found,
I will forget the first one.
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1254383.asp
It''s very nice, but $1,790.00 more expensive than the one you''ve found:
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/J-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1254387.asp
because of one color difference and I don''t want to pay so much for that.
I know Karl won''t give his green light
8.gif
because of the 40.8 pavilion together with the 77 LGF, but something tells me this second diamond is a fireball.
I totally agree with Karl''s top 3 (I love 2 of them), but they are VS2 and my eye could be able to see something under certain lighting...
It''s so difficult to choose!
4.gif
 
To make it simple, we have 3 candidates:
1. http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Premium-Cut-Round-Diamond-1254342.asp
2. http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249146.asp
3. http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VVS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249152.asp

All the 3 are waiting for IS pictures.
I hope nr 3 looks good and will receive everybody''s and Karl''s green light because I think the pattern is awesome and the price is similar to the price of the stolen diamond. And it is my spouse''s favorite!
If nr 1 or nr 2 wins, it will be fine too:
~ I love the price and the look of nr 2.
~ nr 1 has a nice pattern too and the price is kewl. Plus: It has a special angle combo, not often seen here but I feel good with that. I''m just afraid when looking at the messy clarity plot.

And here is nr 4 (only nr 4 because Karl wouldn''t advise me to buy it AND because it is the most expensive one):
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/J-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1254387.asp
We will consider nr 4 if the 3 others have bad IS.
 
Will look forward to the pics!
 
Nice work by Storm! I'll be rooting for the one that is similar in cost to the one that was lost, and that is your spouse's favorite. Good luck!
