Need advice on this 1.4ct H SI1 diamond with crystal

[edcat99]

Hi everyone, I'm doing my diamond search on whiteflash. I need advice on this 1.417ct H SI1 round diamond. It has a crystal but I think it can be covered by the prong. However I heard that crystal near the girdle will affect the durability of the diamond?

It's a beautiful stone, and you are paying not only for the superior cut but also the analysis that WF does to give you the consumer as much info as possible on any given stone. You can't compare this level of cut to just any old stone out there - these are the cream of the crop. I say go for it!

And may I add - it has the "eye clean" stamp of approval on the information page. If you're concerned about the crystal, give Whiteflash a call and they will provide you with honest feedback. It's a beautiful stone and you can't go wrong with an ACA. Report back, let us know what you decide.

The WF ACA stones are pricey compared to James Allen true hearts (my opinion). I have no previous experience, but seems ACA really has a lot of good reviews. And I do think it's not easy to damage a diamond from normal wear.

Thanks! I do trust the cut grade. Do you have any idea if compare ACA to JamesAllen true hearts?

I'm not concerned about the eye clean. As long as the diamond sparkles like crazy, it's a beautiful stone to me
This is another one I'm interested http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3644861.htm But a little bit over my budget...Except for the bigger size, do you think it will make differences and worth the extra money?

It is larger, a higher color and higher clarity. It is an improvement in three categories but only you can decide if it is worth the extra money to you or if it is within your budget. I would prefer it for the three reasons stated but that is not the case for everyone.
