Sorry couldnt get the 3 images in one post
 
I like the looks of ASET one the best.
 
do you think it will have nice fire to it or should i keep looking for something with more red?
 
It isn''t so much "more" red as it is the distribution of the red... I am not a princess enthusiast though so my advice should not weight as heavily as Stone cold and Lorelei. They will likely see this eventually, Lor is in UK though and is probably sleeping now

Just for comparison, this is one that Stone cold liked at another vendor: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/6948/ The ASET shows a more even distribution of red.

But I do think that different vendors have different camera set ups. In the end there is some guess work involved. What does the JA gemologist say about these diamonds you are considering?
 
thx dreamer i guess the search continues
 
I also like the first ASET the best, as to what to do it depends on you, if you want a Princess that has the highest cut quality then keep looking, if you are ok with what is called a fine make Princess ( well cut but not to top standards) then the first or third might be options.
 
Lorelei

i found this one on GOG which would be in my budget but would those inclusions really look bad?

Ditto lorelei, prefer #1.

GOG stone looks good, ask them if it is eye-clean, probably is but no way to judge if it is so with images or clarity plot.
 
I actually think the inclusions look pretty good in the GOG stone.
 
After speaking with the rep from JA and getting in depth comments from the gemologist there, I decided to go with the .72 (third ASET), the .72ct was the most eye clean one according to the gemologist and looked more brilliant of the two. I also am going with JA because the setting I chose i really liked and didnt really find anything similar on the other sites. I also like that i have a 30 day inspection period so will def post some pics when i get the ring. Will keep everyone updated. Thanks for all the help everyone.
 
Good luck. :)

See, you cannot always tell my ASET images, which is why with fancies I really think you need a human being to eye ball it for you.

Come back and let us know how you like it!
 
will do...Thanks

so i finally got the ring today, i thought for sure I would be returning it to try to rush and get a diff diamond before the 28th of april when I leave (plan to propose on may 1), but i really like how it looks.

Anyway here are some pics i will try to get those "fire shots" but im no expert here.

thanks
