I have picked these two stones to look at from Wink Jones (a good guy all around!). Both of them have arrived at my girlfriends parents house (we''re headed there the 23rd) so I can look at them. I''m going to have THE TALK with them and want to show them the potential stones.
Anyway, they are interesting because both are Infiinity, which I''ve read so much good about and appreciate the input they have here and their passion for stones and cut that is so evident. Both are AGS of course (all Infinity diamonds are I believe?)
Sooo...with no further ado let''s introduce the contestants...
STONE ONE!
http://www.craftedbyinfinity.com/index.php?pid=63&lang=eng&sid%5B%5D=290&src=loupe
is a .80 D I1 clarity Excellent cut grade; Ideal Polish, Ideal Symmetry
*Wink says that it is eye clean!
VS.
STONE TWO!
This one caught my eye first, after reading up on color I was intrigued what an O Infinity would look like...
http://www.craftedbyinfinity.com/index.php?pid=63&lang=eng&sid%5B%5D=470&src=loupe
she''s a .92 O VS1 clarity; Ideal cut grade; Ideal Polish; Excellent Symmetry
both have strong blue florescense, which doesn''t both me, and should help the O look whiter as I understand.
Infinity has the H&A and Idealscope on there, and wink sent one with the package, but I''m pretty newbie in using them or the other tools they offer (gem advisor, sarin)
Setting is not picked, but from her other jewelry, I imagine something in a silver color (platinum or white gold). My plan is to show her the stone and pick out a setting together.
Soooo...opinions?
I have some further thoughts but won''t taint them. Size vs. color and clarity...hmmm....
