I just noticed it wasn''t on the cert...
hmmm dunno, but looking at your budget you may not get better without dropping way down in size.
Since your sending it to Richard let him sort that out....

just got off the phone with yekutiel, nice guy, he says thats not an inclusion in the table, its a reflection of many small inclusions in the same spot underneath, he assures me you cant see it with the eye...............the inclusion he was concerned with is the half moon at 1 oclock on the upside down pic, which he says can be mostly hidden with the setting..............i think im going to get it and have richard take a look at it..............yek said he would ship it loose and then have richard send it back to him ,if i like what he has to say, to set it, and absorb the shipping fee................

While it''s hard to tell from a very magnified pic what it''ll look like IRL, I kinda doubt that stone is eyeclean- especially since it''s a larger one. Depends on your eyesight too, but it looks pretty included, especially that side view.

Drop color a bit, then go up in clarity at least to SI1? I know it can be harder finding stones that are in this size range. Also larger SI2s are less likely to be eyeclean than smaller ones in general.

 

[wasp9166]

yek said the inclusions on the side view are actually white not black, they show up black in pic and they are hidden by the sparkle and reflection for the most part.............it is a 1.3 on hca so, he says pics dont show the true brilliance of a stone, either way, im going to have it looked at..............i wish abazias had told me i would have to eat the setting, i had no idea.................so i lost $1100 on that deal and i have to wait 2 weeks b4 the money will be in my account...........since they wont send out a check till mon, and my bank will make me wait 5 days to clear 10k..............what a headache ,lol


and btw, that was a 4 prong plat setting for $1100, yek gave me a 6 prong plat setting for $500..................live and learn i guess

anyone want a deal on a 5.5 size platinum cathedral? ,lol.....................ebay here it comes,lol

Why not have the new stone put in it?

yea have Richard take a look at it is the best bet right now.

because i got a 6 instead of a 4 , it will be better protected, when i got the other ring i thought, man , the whole girdle is exposed and could get chipped, im sure ill find someone to sell the setting to, so i lost a few beans..........things happen for a reason i think sometimes

You can also set a gemstone in it or something as a gift to the gf.

This stone looks really included to me but I am sensitive about these things. I rather drop in size to get higher quality but your girl may want size over all else. Good luck! I hope everything works out.
