Looks like a BEAUTY!
Nothing to raise any red flags. Everything looks good, imo.

comments?

the depth of this stone is very good for it''s size. the most perfect depth there is for this stone is 57% so 60.7% is very good

 

[Ann]

Angel, what do you mean the most perfect depth there is for this stone is 57%.

I need guidance, gang.

 

[Scintillating]

60.9 is just fine.
Anyone else want to chime in for Ann?

Yep - Looks like a really nice stone.

What a sweet thoughtful mom you are to give your daughter such a present. She's going to love it.

no question... if the price is right and it looks like a James Allen diamond by the pictures and he has good prices... buy it

57%??? what are you talking about?

Ann
the stone has beautiful "specs" and I-Scope

 

[Scintillating]

Ann- What did you decide?

Ann, it looks like a great stone. I love the specs and IS image. One question, though--are you choosing the G and VS1 for peace of mind? You could go down in color and clarity and go bigger.

 

[Ann]

I have the stone on hold, they sent me more pics today, look great.

I don''t think my daughter would want a 1ct. - too big for her, so I think she would be more comfy with something this size.

I wanted to get a nice stone to start her diamond education off right!

 

[Ann]

I bought the stone. Now I need metal advice.

This is a pendant. I want that floating diamond look, so I sent some pics to Carrie @ James Allen (super nice girl)

and she will show them to the owner, who will forward them to their designer to make this baby up. Now do I have it made in 14 or 18 kt. (WG) which one is best for a pendant? Is 18kt too soft?

The best part about this is JA''s designer is located right here in Houston, same building as WF I bet! So I can go down there and check it all out before we begin. How cool is that?

 

[diamondlil]

Looks like a winner, Ann!!!! The size will be very nice for your daughter. Can''t wait to see the design.

That''s interesting that JA uses a designer all the way in Houston. I wonder why that would be since they are in MD?

 

[Ann]

The designer called me this evening. What a nice man. he has the diamond in his posession and will begin building the pendant. We discussed all the issues and are going forth with a 4 prong basket and using 14ktWG Should have it in 2weeks or less.

Yes, I will post pics asap.
