All for $5150. Is this a good deal? Could you recomend something better? Is there a reason I should avoid this one? I just want it to be eye clean and shine.

Thanks
 
Looks wonderful! It is a great size, just under a carat. As long as they say it is eyeclean to your standards, then I think you've found a nice one!
 
Is it really matter if its AGS certified over GIA?
As long as its eye clean, everything else is good?
 
AGS and GIA are both great. I like this one, too:

It would be good to have the idealscope image for this one. That way you could really decide between the first stone and this one.

I personally favor VS2 clarity, but many or even most here go for SI1 to get a larger stone or save money. I feel that both stones would be great! Love the size, too!
 
i agree with DS - the SI1 and the first VS2 are great choices. the difference between the two in size and price is very minimal, so it comes down to whether you would prefer it to be that tiny bit larger with the SI1. i personally choose size over clarity as long as it is eye clean, but either way you won't go wrong!
 
Ok, I found maybe even a better option, its down to these three and I'm done bugging you people :) :

All diamonds are eyeclear.
Price between them is only a few hundred $.
Diamond will be in a classical 6 prong setting.
Idealscopes on the way.
 
Well, this is a little tough. I love Good Old Gold and the diamond is great. I also prefer VS2 personally. But there is a difference between a 6mm stone and a 6.2mm stone. Has James Allen examined #1 and told you that it is eyeclean? Have you gotten an idealscope of ASET image of #1? The GOG stone has all the information on it, so it is a safe buy. If the #1 stone has a great idealscope image, then I think you would be choosing between size or clarity (#1 or #3). And of course, GOG does have a better trade-in policy, but most people getting engaged aren't thinking about that option, usually!
 
Here are the idealscopes for diamonds #1 and #2. JamesAllen recomended me to buy #2 since its brighter and a whiter stone, but on PS you didnt mension it as a choice.
Just tell me what you think, maybe none of these are good.

Either would be a fine choice. If JA recommends #2 then go with #2 and be done with it :))
 
JA have seen the stones in person, as compared to us who are going based off virtual information. so i would say take their recommendation and go for #2!
 
Those links don't work. Can you upload them?

I'm a big fan of diamonds as are almost all PSer but normal girls in the normal world really aren't. And you have to be really into diamonds to care about clarity and color. I have several rings but it's always the biggest one that draws the most comments. Not once beyond PS have I been asked the color of my diamond, the only comments are about how sparkly my diamonds are or how big there are.

Go for the biggest and best cut stone within your budget. Providing its above say a I/J for color and is eye clean, you've got a winner.

Good luck :)
