please let me know your thoughts. my preference is as follows:

STONE 3, THEN STONE 2, THEN STONE 4, THEN STONE 2. I can literally get anything from this list and the bank wont be broken. I just need the best stone from here based on experts opinions ..

I cannot get any more images or idealscope, asets , etc so please keep that in mind. I will buy one and I have 30 days to check it out.


Thank you for all your help

I like the 1.75 H stone that is #3 best. And you have them in the wrong order. #3 is heavier than #2. And #4 is the heaviest of them all. And #1 is heavier than #2 and #3 but lighter than #4.

Can you get an idealscope of 1,2 and 3 though? That's the right thing to do.

The last one is an outright NO. It's a steep deep.

I would prefer #3 though. Or alternately #1. But not #2 (smaller than either) or #4 (steep deep).

Ok. Just read that there are no idealscopes available.
In that case #3 the 1.75 is my favorite and the one I'd get.

I was just told that the 1.75 H VS1 stone has a "very slight tinge of brown"...should I rule it out?



Here are 3 backup options

https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/R181-AS2QGQ(pricey for a 7.75 mm stone when it ideally shud be .78mm for a 1.8ct)

7.75 is visually exactly the same as 7.8 and you round up anyway so there's no issue with the spread of this. What is the HCA score? This is the one that I would pick if the HCA score is 2 or under.


the hca for the 1.81 is 1.8 (VG light return, EX fire, EX scint, VG spread)

You may and you may not. No one can answer that for you, but you. You'd have to see it in person to decide.

It's between that one (1.75 with slight brown tinge) and this one: https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/R181-AS2QGQ in my opinion.

I think it's a very fair price.

Let's see what you think of it when you get it.

Make sure you aren't wearing a brown, dark beige, yellow or orangey shirt when you are evaluating it or near walls of those colors. Why? Diamonds reflect. So make sure what you are seeing is the body color not a reflection.

Thank you gypsy. Any concern on the inclusions in the magnified image ? Seems can easily b covered by prongs. Also GIA comments sY "additional clouds not shown." Will this be a cause for concern and affect light return ? Other sites listed this stone at 16k and up.

Hi

I finally saw the stone TWO times...once at night in their office and yesterday during the day in natural light (but in their office since it has multiple windows allowing light in )....its good but 2 things are really bothering me...

(1) under certain white light the H looks more like an I and I can see a little yellow tinge. But in other lights its white face up. So lets call it an H- color. clarity wise the stone is awesome.

(2) when I look straight face up at the table, I see a lot of contrast in the table area (for example, its much blacker .... ) I compared this stone with a NEAR identical 1.82 H VS2 with NO flourescence (mine has faint) and that stone (price $1000 more and already sold :/) is whiter face up but also I can see straight at the culet thru the table so its MUCH clearer and less contrasty (black shadows) than my stone. Is this a big deal or am I just overthinking?

Other than the above, the stone is great. excellent sparkle. nice size...Im just concerned about the color and the shadowy thing that I mention in (2) above.

Please provide your expert thoughts if u dont mind. I'd really appreciate it.
