Need help finding Round stone

[maggii]

Hi. I'm looking for a Round Brilliant with following specs:

Cut: Ideal/Excellent
Color: F
Clarity: VS1 or VS2
Carat: 1.8 - 2.05

Anyone see any promising stones from on-line vendors like JA?

Thanks in advance!

Budget?

Ask JA for idealscope image if interested. JA can supply 3 for free.

If fluorescence is not a concern, this is the biggest for your budget and specs.

Else this.

This has faint blue fluorescence which is unnoticeable in most viewing conditions, the stone in the image is severely tilted.

Thanks for the quick response. Will look into.

How does the fluorescence in the first one affect a F color stone? Good or bad?

 

[stone-cold11]

Small chance of the fluorescence causing the stone to become oily/hazy in the sun or places with UV sources. Most of the time in UV, these stones will show a slight blue tint, so personal preference. Without UV, it will look just like any other well cut F diamond.

You can ask JA to schedule a gemologist to take a look if it is the case for that stone.

What do you think about this stone? It's a little smaller, 1.72ct, F, VS1. How do the images look?

 

[stone-cold11]

Idealscope image looks good.

Is this a H&A? If so, need to see the hearts image too.

This is a G, but there is no way you can tell the difference in color from a F
