Is this a great final choice for a center stone?

[NicoleNeedsHelp]

I am so happy with all of the help that I’ve received on this site and I can’t even begin to express my appreciation. I have been asking questions and ended up with a really long thread- so I’m starting a new one.

I believe that, unless someone tells me otherwise, I’m going to buy this diamond. Unfortunately, I cannot get advanced images from James Allen (Or does anyone know how to get advanced images because JA told me they couldn’t provide due to Covid). So, this is all the info I have. Any reason I should not buy this guy? it is JA sku number 9217139 (it will say unavailable because I have it on hold)

What is the price? The stone looks great. The only reason I would hesitate is that you will have to spend twice the amount if you ever want to upgrade.If you buy from HPD or Whiteflash you only need to spend a dollar more. Also, these sellers have advanced images.

I am too old to ever upgrade again. I will be dead. It took me 29 years to do this. This is the final stone. 1.7 is plenty big for me. Price is 17,000

I can’t find the stone using that SKU but it sure looks like it will be beautiful on paper. Were the video and image appealing? You can certainly have a beautiful diamond - maybe not ideal but beautiful anyway - without it being a super ideal and the price is much lower. Seems like a good find.

I think the JA stone will be lovely then. Here’s the link for anyone who wants to see it.

I think that's the first time we've heard that reason for not worrying about upgrade policy! Your bluntness made me giggle!

Cheers! Yeap, I’ll be dead by the time to upgrade. I’m old
