No.1's price is really nice, but my concerns are No.1 has bigger carat, how come the measurements are even smaller than No.2's measurements. The date on the AGS certificate of No.1 is Dec 2008, why this diamond stay with whiteflash for so long? Is there anything wrong that I don't understand about? Is this case normal?

Can you help me choose one from them? Or there are other better selections?Following the IS image for No.1

All three are excellent diamonds. It will just come down to price vs. color--which is more important to you?

The differences between weight and measurements on the first two are nothing to be concerned about. You are talking about the difference of a couple hundreths of a millimeter and five thousandths of a carat (equal to .001 gram). The first diamond is just carrying a bit more weight in the crown, but both have excellent diameters for the weight.

These are all gorgeous stones

The spread difference is due to slight differences in proportions - nothing to be concerned about.


Are you set on VS clarity? You can increase your choices with an eyeclean SI, or lower the cost, if that's an option for you.

All the IS image looks good. Can you post the hearts image?

Regarding why the weight is heavier but dimensions is smaller, proportion of the stone. Heavier weight of the stone does not directly translate to diameter of a stone. weight is a 3D measurement, diameter is 1D. Why the report is so old, ask WF? Maybe it is a trade up stone, maybe just no one want it because of one of it''s 3C, carat, color, clarity, is always slightly worse than what was there in the inventory?

here is the heart pic for No.1
I don''t know how to post three pix on one post
any preference among those three? I heard someone said the bigger the table % the bigger the stone looks, is that right?

 

[jinzier]

heart No.2

heart image No.3

 

[stone-cold11]

No way to post multiple images in one post unless it has been uploaded before.

Larger table just looks different, not necessary will have a larger diameter, the angles together with the table size will determine the physical diameter of the stone, simple geometry.

All the hearts image looks good, so it is a toss up, depends on your priorities.

 

[yssie]

ditto - all good



Looks like the third pic was taken at a slight angle.

They are all great... You have 3 winners.

 

[Dreamer_D]

All look great.

If you want a wider variety of choices there are other vendors with excellent reputations on PS who may have somthing else that meets your criteria./ www.goodoldgold.com and www.briangavindiamonds.com are two others whom I like in addition to WF.

Will No.1 looks smaller since it''s heavier?

No. If you put all three diamonds side by side, you wouldn't see any size difference. Get out a ruler and see how small .03mm is. (For comparison, an average human hair is about .1mm, so the size difference is 1/3 that of the width of a hair)

There is no way that you will be able to tell these diamonds apart.

If you are concerned, WF will take a photo for you of the diamonds next to one another so you can see their relative size.
