i read through a lot of articles on pricescope but always seem to fall short of finding the perfect diamond for me.
here''s what I''m looking for
Shape: Round only
Cut: heart/arrow, ideal - very good (AGS), excellent - very good (GIA)
Carat: 1.35 - 1.50 (if comparing 2 carats, the smaller "carat" size may be okay if the measurement of the "smaller carat size" diamond is larger)...maybe 1.30 - 1.50 if the 1.30 again looks bigger and is a quality diamond that''s worth a lot of money
Clarity: no less than VS2
Color: G-I - i''m wondering if you can tell any yellow w/ the naked eye if I got a "J"
Budget: after pricescope discount AND bank wire discount, < 7400 (preferably < 7200)...my setting''s going to cost $1200 (click on the link; specifically because I want not just any channel setting but one w/ 6 prongs only...i''m very set on this setting)
Overall, I am looking for a diamond that
1 - Looks BIG (again, a smaller carat size # that looks/measures bigger would be preferred over a larger carat size # that looks/measures smaller)
2 - Sparkles like no other even without super bright light (not to say it needs to sparkle in the dark since there won''t be any light to reflect off of!)
3 - Is hopefully worth more than what we pay for
Can anyone help me? I have some additional questions:
1 - i''m thinking of the 4 c''s, if I had to sacrifice one a little bit it''d be color?? or is it clarity?
2 - can someone tell me what depth, table, crown angle, and pavilion angle i should look for the stone to rate in the 1-2 range on the Holloway Cut Adviser scale instead of just punching in random #s?
Thank you! we have tried so many online stores and on pricescope.
