Need help picking princess cut

[invisibleadjunct]

I have had so much help from here, I am hoping to narrow down on my diamond choices pretty soon. Here is one I like; I should be getting images soon

And while on the subject, has anybody seen the JA channel set ring in person and can tell me how it compares to some of the others around here (WF/Excel''s Tiffany channel setting)

Thank you

I aspire to be as helpful in my areas of expertise to the internet community as most of you are here for us. Thank you all !

My computer won't copy and paste your link so I can't help you there. As for the setting, there have been a few posts recently about their quality being questionable, and the most recent was a gal with a channel set. I'm still looking for it, if I find it will post.

Here it is.

No serious red flags on the numbers and the photo looks very good. IS images will tell even more, but so far it looks like it has good possibilities.

The table is a bit larger than the depth, usually the reverse is preferred. From the photo it looks nice, if you like the look of it then ask for an Idealscope image.

jet, can I just say thank you now, for the rest of my life, for the links?

I agree, looks pretty good. The table''s a hair bigger than depth, but it might not be having much affect. I think it''s worth an IS.

Sure.

I figure once I copy it to paste into another tab on the browser, it is no harder to paste it again into the reply and will save someone else the time.

Now if there is any way I can hold it over you and get tangible rewards, all bets are off.

(Especially if it''s food

)

Hey, I would seriously send you a cake if I could!

I just don''t get it, my puter used to be able to do this all the time, now, it won''t about 99.9% of the time. Frustrating.

Anywho, thank you!

Thank you for your comments. I have asked for the images and will hopefully have it soon. Very interested to hear about the setting story. And will try and do a better job with the links next time.

Getting similar info on a couple other stones for comparison and will post them soon

Is it fair to ask what range the community feels this might be priced at?

Don't worry, we can fix the links in a jiffy, Ellen has had trouble for ages so I always try to fix the links for her as she can't copy and paste, but our most polite and helpful Jetskis did the job!

James Allen are competitively priced.

You have indeed. And while I know I''ve thanked you, I think I have been a bit remiss with thanking jet.

So, thank you both for the rest of my life!

(and anyone else who helps me out!)


invisable, I posted the link to the setting story up above, if that is what you meant by the highlighted part.

Hopefully, you only need to thank us until you upgrade computers.

(Now that springs to mind a good DF-type question, gotta run to hangout)

[stone-cold11]

Looks good.

 

[Lorelei]

It looks fabulous, big thumbs up!!!

 

[jet2ks]

Looks very nice.

That''s a nice looking princess! If you are able to get the IS from the other stone (1.12), then you could decide whether to stick with the one you just posted or to go up in size to the original. But this one is a winner, so if you''re comfortable with the size, go for it!
