[SoftwareGuy]

Hello all, lurker for a few months, first time poster.

I am going to make a purchase soon, just want to get a 2nd opinion from the expert out there so i can get the best bang for the buck.

Please see the attached image.

Thanks

the one on the right is the best of a better than average pair

Thanks Garry.

I think I will ask the jeweler to pick some more samples for me to choose. Although they have been more than accomodating, it feels like a waste of everyone''s time to blindly ask for extra info base on numbers from a search engine. There are probably insider info and the highest quality are probably set aside for higher premiums already, right?

Hello all! I have more pictures

Looks like this new batch is better than my first pair, agree?

Which one do you like? In my eyes, they look fairly even? I pretty much have my mind made up already due to other qualities of the rocks.

Thanks

Update:
Just want to let you guys know I bought #1 on pic2 today.
It''s a 0.71ct F VVS1 that is ~$100 cheaper than the other 2, which are both 0.75ct G VS1

The sarin of the stone is slightly different from the numbers listed in the GIA Cert
Crown Angle 39.2
Crown Height 10.7%
Pavil Angle 39.3
Pavil Depth 58.7%
Girdle 2.4%
Table Size 68.6%
Total Depth 71.8%

WxLxH = 4.91mm x 5.07mm x 3.53mm

For the other newbies like me, I found the process of searching thru hundreds of stones from the search engine results an overwhelming task. So I look at sites that list their top tier diamonds with idealscope images, and start filtering results with similar numbers. Because I knew what the boundary of my other 3Cs + budget, I ended up with a fairly small list. Then, work with the jeweler to obtain extra info, Idealscope is a must. There were a couple stones that I know I would be disappointed if i bought it purely base on numbers. Jewelers frequently recommended on this forum will have no problem doing this. I called up another less known online jeweler who couldn''t provide Idealscope images, that was the end of that conversation.

...Now, on to finding an independent appraiser in my area.
