First off, I'd like to thank everybody for their help thus far. i am definitely an amateur and have learned a lot from this board. My Idealscope comes today and I am going to do a little practicing before I go see the diamonds.
I have a couple of questions before I go.First question I have is, I know that it should be ideal, but is a Very Good stone OK to get? Is an ideal cut rare and most of cut diamonds rated as "very good"? Second, the one SI2 that I saw had a number of inclusions under the loupe, but I couldn't really see them with the naked eye. Should I be concerned? Is there a certain way to look at the diamond with the naked eye to make sure that I see everything?
My soon to be fiance is mostly concerned with the size....over 2 Cts (so I think it would be OK to get a G-H SI1 or 2. I know it is hard without having an idea of the Idealscope read or the HCA, but if anyone has thoughts on these before I go in, please let me know. This is what I am looking at tonight and I will post the rest of the info tonight, after seeing them:
1) 59% table
62 % depth
E
SI1
GIA no flourescence
2.06 ct.
22,500
GIA
2.20 Ct.
H
VS2
Excellent polish and symmetry
Think it was Depth 58% and table 61%
Girdle thin to medium
Flourescence - None
$23,600
Uncertified
2.10 Ct.
G-H
SI2
Very Good cut
$16,000.
2) This guy will be showing me Rappaport as well. All GIA certs. No flourescence on any.
2.13 G VS2 26,819 Depth 60.6 Table 57
2.21 I SI1 14,320
2.06 G SI2 13,126
2.30 G SI1 24,486
2.13 H VS1 24,223
2.10 G SI2 18,350
2.01 H Vs2 17,035
