I''m currently looking to find a nice 1ct radiant and have been getting information from JA on a few different stones. I''m aware that these stones can''t be picked ''on paper'' because of how they each vary visually from one another... that seeing is the ticket, but JA doesn''t have an approved appraiser in my state. Are any of you able to recommend a reputable company/person that I could possibly have these stones sent to here in northern Utah so that I don''t have to travel out of state to see them? If not, I know Neil Beaty in Denver comes highly recommended, I''m just trying to keep the costs down (aren''t we all) and don''t want to travel to Denver if I don''t have to. Of course I haven''t contacted Neil yet either so don''t know if his schedule would even allow it any time soon.
Also, I have IdealScopes, sarin reports and magnified images of several stones that I could post up if you guys would like to provide some guidance on the numbers side of things. I''m able to have up to three shipped and I think that''s what I''d like to do so that I''m able to have the best selection. I did go to a local B&M store to see some stones as well. They had a super sparkly 1.15ct E S12 that was gorgeous, but it''s got an EGL certificate and is in the same ballpark of the VS1/2 diamonds with GIA certs that JA has been showing me so I''m not completely sold on it even though it''s beautiful.
Thanks in advance for any assistance or information provided.
