Here is the diamond:

On the AGS report (newbie here, sorry) can someone tell me why and if it is a bad that the culet has red/brightness when most other AGS reports I just see green?

This seems to be a very good price for the size, clarity and color, am I missing something?

Thank you,

KL

A beautiful stone

Red is good.
Nice choice.

I actually called WF Friday about that stone and one other (that is already gone) because I was considering upgrading my .80 studs. But my sales person said she didn't think I'd see a difference in the size on my ears. So the stone has my full approval!

Thank you so much heididdl, Gypsy and diamondseeker2006! I have recognized all of your names from other threads and you are very helpful!! That makes me nervous though, I hope it is still available! I saw it on Friday or yesterday, and it caught my eye. Perhaps I should have called earlier! I will keep you updated, thank you so much!

You are most welcome!

I think there is a way to reserve the stone online? You might want to try that, although at this point, hopefully you'll be safe until tomorrow morning!

 

[Safflower]

I don't think there is. The best I could do was email, but I'll definitely call first thing in the morning!

Update: I have it on reserve!! So here's nothing that would prevent this from being an engagement ring? I want the look of a one carat, I was searching for a .8-1, but for the right price (pref 4.5-6.5). (No less than 6mm) I have a size 5 finger. 6.2mm looked good on my finger in the store, and H looked white, but it is hard to tell under the jewlery store spotlights. I originally wanted a G, but I feel this is a stone that doesn't come up very often, for a good deal.

Upgrading your studs happily Surprised........

RockyRaccoon, thank you so much for taking the time to find those! That first option (your favorite) is really tempting. I thought about it a lot today. I know Gypsy says to not do the HCA on ACA stones, but both are 1.8. They are very similar. However, I think WF has the setting I want, and a better upgrade policy. I compared WF and BGD for a long time, but I think WF wins in the end by a hair. These 3 definitely validate my decision!

I'm a bit worried about the legato micropave setting losing sidestones, so I will call tomorrow and ask about that, but I think I will give him the go-ahead! Then to play the waiting game as to when I will actually be able to see it.

Hi there. I love the legato and think that is one they make really well. I am very happy with my ring and stone choice from WF. the customer service has been amazing and that means a lot to me too. I think you are in good hands.

 

[Safflower]

Hathalove, that is good to know, thank you!! I just saw your new setting and it is so elegant! And I absolutely love your diamond, as well! They complement each other wonderfully. Your pictures prove that you can't to wrong with an ACA!

 

[Andelain]

That's a beautiful stone! But what's not to love, it's an ACA. It just doesn't get any better.....

 

[MarionC]

Can't wait to hear what you have to say about it. ACA's are gorgeous diamonds!

Kansas, did your diamond arrive? I picked mine up this afternoon and I think your time-table was ahead of mine...
