Hi there,
Thanks for your comments.
It looks like everyone prefers the 1.50 stone. Sorry – Can’t believe I left the colour out! They are all F colours.
In regards to the 1.5 stone ( SI1), I am a bit concerned about the inclusion types. It has various inclusions, but I am concerned about what appears to be a cavity (or it may be a crystal??). I have read some feedback in relation to cavities where even though they may they may not be visible to the naked eye (as confirmed by the supplier), they tend to catch dirt once wearing the ring therefore making them visible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Although the inclusion is not in the centre, it is towards side of the table but may still be in a bad spot? Another reader mentioned getting the cavity assessed? This surprised me as I thought cavities were I internal, not external cavities.
Your advice on cavities and other inclusions on the 1.5 cert would be appreciated!
Also, what does the AGS rating on the 1.5 stone mean? It says AGS1 rating but it has a GIA triple excellent rating. Then shouldnt it be AGS0? Please explain. I am confused!
I also want to compare a 1.40 stone (yes – you are correct, stones in the 1.4 range are hard to find!!! Please refer to the attached cert.
Based on the specs provided, is the size difference between the 1.40 stone and 1.50 stone that noticeable to justify the price difference ($18500 to $16,200)?? What do you think? The 1.40 also appears to have a cleaner table versus the 1.5 stone (although confirmed as eye clean by the supplier).
Based on the specs and prices of the attached certs, what would be the recommendation from the experts please ?? ) Which diamond would you get? I do tend to prfer the bigger sizes but also want to consider best quality for money.
In terms of quality and price, should I wait to find something better as these certs are not great?
Overall – are the specs I am looking good for the price? I want to ensure I am not paying too much??
Also, should I be prioritising another type of spec? I am worried based on my small knowledge of diamonds that I am not considering something else that is important as a part of my purchase? In saying that, I am still not completely sure about the best crown/ pav measurements as I know that these are important in terms of the brilliance/ sparkle of the diamond so your advice on these specs would be greatly appreciated!!
Where do you recommend I look online for more competitive pricing? If so, where? I found these from Australian importer in Melbourne. He has a 2 week full refund policy if I see the diamond and dont like it! He does not have them onsite.
All GIA certs are dated in May and June 2011
Sorry for the lengthy email but I am just so unsure!!!! )
Thanks so much!
Kind regards,
Vanessa
