I don''t know what shape and cut..., BUT, I will take a true F-VS2 over an H-VVS1 ANY DAY!!! Especially if it is more attractive in price...Date: 2/20/2007 10:18:50 AM

I am a new diamond buyer and have been looking for a stone for an engagement ring. I have narrowed it to two stones.
1.20 f vs2 $6875
and
1.29 h vvs1 $7675 Are these prices reasonable and which is a more desireable stone??
(also the 1.29 is spread a little and looks almost like a 1.5)
That''s true DiaGem. I''d rather a true F VS2 than a H VVS1 anyday. Why pay more for something you can''t see.Date: 2/20/2007 10:33:37 AM

Well, in order for you to truly know whether they are well cut diamonds or not (and cut is the most important characteristic of the diamond when you''re talking about the grade stones you are considering) we need to know the measurements.Date: 2/20/2007 10:45:43 AM

Im sorry i dont know all that stuff. All I know is that they are round brilliant stones that are EGL. The F is ideal and the H is premium. The woman also kept telling me about how the 1.29 was 7.4 mm wide whatever that means to anybody. I am just looking for an opinion based on what I know, but I understand that you guys are prob experts and will want more stats on the stones.
I think its way to shallow for an ex. cut.... (and it is the H....)Date: 2/20/2007 10:45:43 AM

Well, have you considered buying a diamond online? If you go to whiteflash or goodoldgold they have basically pre-selected diamonds by hand for you... so they have an expert who has looked at each diamond, run it through their gamut of tests, and has made a decision that it is a well proportioned and well cut diamond. As long as you get one of their excellent cut diamonds you really can''t make a bad decision....Date: 2/20/2007 11:06:42 AM

Thanks for the help. Im prob in over my head. I didnt know there was that many things to know. I dont have all that info and copys of the certs. Honestly i probably wont even look at that stuff before i buy one, which may disgust some of you. I just found two that looked good and one looked significantly bigger and the other brighter. I guess my choice is simpler with less knowledge. I will prob just pick one and hope my girlfriend likes it.
I agree, there''s a lot to learn isn''t there?Date: 2/20/2007 11:06:42 AM
