I think I''ve decided on this stone from Whiteflash for $3380. It looks to have a nice spread and does well on the HCA. It is only rated as a Very Good cut by GIA. Is this a concern?
I had decided to give up a little in the cut for a little more spread. I may upgrade to a 1 ct ACA H&A in a year or so.
alluded to, something you or I would never know about, or see. There are many beatiful VG''s out there, and many given that grade for again, things we''ll never see in real life. They can be great finds!
Big ditto!!! If you like the sound of the diamond you posted, and it certainly looks as if it could be a fine cut from the bit of info we have, then lets see what happens when you get some more info on it. They can certainly be great finds if you care to search for them! Not everyone is looking for a superideal diamond and if you are one, that could be an excellent choice.Date: 1/30/2008 5:40:57 PM

I''ll wait for more info before giving an opinion. It could be, as
So, if it looks appealing to you, have them call it in, if they don''t already have it.
That is your choice, but I would see what the verdict is on the first diamond you posted first perhaps, it may be an excellent diamond. Here is some info for you on brillianteering.
It looks fine and if WF says it is eyeclean then you are good to go. The thing is with all ACA diamonds, that they are consistently superb performers and have to pass many rigorous tests and standards to be considered an ACA in the first place. So if you choose one of these diamonds, it is the colour and size you want and verified eyeclean, then you can''t go wrong. As I said before it depends on whether you want the pedigree of the branded ACA and performance, or if you want to investigate the other diamond, which still may be a good choice, depends on what matters to you most.
I missed your post on the back up diamond til now. Now I''m confused. The first (VS1) is more than the back up, but not by much, considering it''s two clarity grades higher. It should be a lot more. What is the reasoning for that, do you know?
I believe this is what it''s referring to. If done right, not to a great extent, it does no harm, and can actually help. And some actually prefer the look, which is said to be more fluid rather than the sharper on-off scitillation when there''s more contrast leakage.. At this point, with them being so close in price, call WF and have them compare and give you an overview of both, the differences, and which one they feel is more appealing, if there is one.
Ditto to Ellen. WF will compare the two and give you pros and cons of each for you. You can then make an informed decision as to which one you want. Ellen I think the reason there is not more dif in price even though the great dif in clarity and color is because the ACA is a branded stone which always carries a premium. This keeps the dif between the two close even though and G VS1 ACA would be much more expensive at that size than an H SI1 ACA at the same size for comparison.Date: 1/31/2008 8:09:51 PM
