I''m looking for a H&A at least H VS2 around 1.10ct for around 6500 with a little leeway on the price. Any suggestions would be appreciated.



I''m debating between these three right now:



1)Round 1.12ct Hearts & Arrows H VS2 AGS cert

Depth: 61.5
Table: 56.6
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Girdle: Thin to medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Negligible
Measurements: 6.66*6.70*4.11

Crown Angle: 34.3
Crown : 14.90
Pavilion Angle: 41.0
Pavilion : 43.30

2) Round 1.11ct Hearts & Arrows H VS2 AGS cert

Depth: 61.4
Table: 56.9
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Girdle: Thin to medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Negligible
Measurements: 6.65*6.67*4.09

Crown Angle: 35.1
Crown : 15.20
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Pavilion : 43.10

3) Round 1.11ct Hearts & Arrows G VS2 AGS cert



Depth: 61.0
Table: 54.8
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Girdle: Thin to medium
Culet: ID
Fluorescence: Negligible
Measurements: 6.70*6.71*4.09

Crown Angle: 33.9
Crown : 15.20
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Pavilion : 43.10

I can''t seem to post links to the photos on my photobucket, is that because I''m a new member of the forum?

I''ve requested higher res pics of them all. 1 & 2 are almost the same price but 3 is around $1000 more. Is 3 worth that much more? The HCA and color on 3 are better, but how much will that affect the overall outcome, would I be better just saving the $$$?



Thanks for any help, I''m new at all this :)

 
It is against forum policy to post images from outside. Upload the files using the attached files.
 
Don't go by HCA score as a selection criteria, it is a rejection tool. If IS/ASET image is available, it will trump the HCA scores, use these images instead.

From the numbers all look promising, I would ask the vendor for IS and Hearts images. The price difference is mainly due to the better color. The date when the stone is produce also will have an influence on the price.

IS images all looks good to me, but Hearts images look like all has some mistake when the image is taken, ask JA to retake them?

Yes they look good but the hearts images do look as if they are a bit off, a retake would help.

Looks good to me too. :)
 
Here''s a new image of #3 that JA just sent me

I've decided to go with #4

I'm really new at all this, but when I compared all the images of #4 to charts of what the "ideal" images should be I was really impressed.

Doesn't hurt that #4 is tad bigger too

I'd love to hear if I've made a good choice.
