Looks good so far.

Can you post the crown and pavilion angles, the star and lower facet numbers?

Superbaby, run the stones through the cut advisor and see which gets you the best results:

Need the crown and pavilion angles for each please if you could post those please. The star and lower girdle facet percentages would be useful too, these will be on the diamond diagram on the report at the top and towards the bottom of the diagram, it will say something like 50% for the star and 75% lower girdle facets.

like large
Don''t like Symmetry cuting is only VG


$5300
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249017.asp

like everything looks good
Don''t like if you read the GIA report. the diamond has so much crystal or cloud as a line at the mid, but actually if I look at the photo, I don''t see any....


$5190
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1249540.asp

Like price is low
don''t like Polish is only VG and diamond has a lot of things(Crystal feather, cloud.... according to the GIA report)

$5350
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1254471.asp

like everthing looks good and larger than the $5300 one
Don''t like, If you look the photo of the diamond, you can see a "black spot" or a thing I don''t know what I should call it on the center the diamond. I am not sure if the real diamond has it. I don''t want it to impact the diamond ring...

Any suggestion guys??

I like #4 the best, 2 and 3 might be ok, ask for Idealscope images for your top 3.

 

[stone-cold11]

Ditto.

#4 followed by #2 and #3.
