Thank you!!!

Is it some leakage we see in the table?
I would prefer a shallower diamond, more spread, and perhaps more scintillation...
Is it eye clean?

 

[Stephan]

How do they call it?
"The Ring of the Death" or something like that?

 

[Mounia]

Thank you for the response. It is 100% eye clean. Do you think it''s worth it?

 

[Stephan]

It should be nice, a lot of dealers say that some customers prefer steep/deep combo''s.
Let me have a look on other websites, see if I another one.

 

[Stephan]

What do you think about this one?

 

[Mounia]

Thank you again! That one looks nice, but it is unfortunately out of my budget. the one I showed you costs 2630 CAD, which is as high as I can go

 

[Stephan]

In J color, I think that clarity is not that expensive.
I don''t feel good with SI2.
What''s your budget?

 

[Mounia]

3000 CAD including the setting.

The best is that you have a look at the diamond you chose.
Or that you look for smaller one, like a 0.8?

Would you want to consider, as Stephan pointed out, going smaller with a vendor who has a great upgrade policy? If so, this one would be a great starter stone, if eyeclean.

Hi Ellen!

I fear that your one explodes the budget.

We speak about about CAD dollars...

Hi!

I didn''t know the conversion rates, but I thought that one would still work. Sorry.

Hello again! I ended up ordering the first stone; The pictures looked very pretty. Thank you for your help though! I will post pics when I get it.

The CAD is 1c off the USD? so shouldn''t it roughly be the same price either way?
