do you have an actual image of the ERD stone?

 

[jcmitche]

Good question! I've just sent a request and will post a picture when I receive it. What are your thoughts on the James Allen diamond? Is it worth the price of $6,090? I noticed an infraction in the lower left quadrant - do you think this will be visible to the naked eye?

thanks!

Request an aset image for both stones and post.

 

[jcmitche]

OK, i've requested an "aset" image for both. engagementringsdirect told me that their machine is down, and will not be ready until Monday. Here is a picture of the diamond:



I'll post both images once i receive.

thanks

without any additional info, I like the ERD stone. It's going to be a gorgeous ring! Congrats!

Thanks Christina!

I've received the aset images - please see below:

(1) the James Allen





(2) Engagement Rings Direct



Does anyone have comments regarding these aset images? Any concerns? There seems to be a lot of green...which I've heard is a bad thing (i.e. the crushed ice effect).

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks

some people prefer the crushed ice look? based on the images which one appeals to you more? I prefer the ERD stone but I am not wearing it

I prefer the ERD stone, because I don't like the inclusion on the table of the JA stone. Personal preference. I also like the cut better of
the ERD stone.
