Thanks to all of you for your kind words.
I was upgrading from ACA 1.24 I stone that was lovely and looked substantial on my 3.25 finger. After reading so many posts about gorgeous J and K stones I decided to bump the size and go lower the color grade I found K 2.11 ACA and this one on Whiteflash. Ordered ACA, then changed my mind and went with this one.
Huge thanks to Traci from ACA for being there for me through all my phone calls abd numerous emails.
It''s a phenomenal stone ! I don''t know if it''s the effect of Med Blue Flour or it''s a "high J" bit it looks very white. It''s dancing under all kinds of lighting and throwing rainbow flashes everywhere. I''ll try to take more picture in the daylight today.

It''s gorgeous, I love it. It looks huge on your finger - correction that would look huge even on my size 8 fingers

This fireball is HUGE!!!!! Are you sure it is not at least 4 ct?

I understand the white J color is the main reason for your choice of this stone. Wonder why you gave up the K ACA. Are there any reasons other than J vs K and med blue flor? You had ACA before. How does the new ring compare in terms of contrast, brightness, light return, fire, and scintillation?

Wow!! What a beautiful and classic upgrade!!

FancyDiamond,
I am glad that you asked this question and I''m happy to share my experience of going from ACA to just AGS Ideal Cut.
I had two ACA stone 1.07 F and 1.24 I before I went with this one.
Yes, I went with this one mainly because of J with Medium Blue (was very curious to see Fluor effect in the real life). I was worried how ES will perform compared to my ACA stones, plus it scored 1.6 and 1.8 on HCA with only VG for scintillation (because of 40.9 pavilion and 30.6 crown combo)
Well, this stone exceeded all my expectations.
This stone throws flashes of white, blue and a lot of rainbow colors in most types of lightings.
It does it even under direct sunlight, where ACA stones tended to "glow".
It changes the way it dancing with my every step. The second I walked into Wal-Mart it turned to a disco ball.
In the deep shade or in the car on the gloomy day, it looks like the water splashes inside of it. It''s mesmerizing effect.
It''s obvious, I''m in love with this stone.
