Thoughts?
 
Inside by the window. There is a post on "show me the bling" that gives some tips on how to take photos of diamonds.

Posted a new stone too, I would greatly appreciate your inital thoughts
 
Who is the setting by? Halos are very tricky and in order to look good, they need to be executed flawlessly. No airlines, no chunky halos (unless that's precisely what you want), no extra metal, etc.
As whitewave indicated, we usually like a set of online vendors, no B&M..
Added new stone, would appreciate your thoughts since you were very helpful last time

will do, i just realized everytime I post a reply on this thread you guys get a notification, I only posted new ones for visability but realized that was needed.... :roll:
 
Yeah, I'm getting confused as to what diamond you are on lol
 

Ok, from these two cut-wise I prefer the second one - 1.28/G/SI1. But, it still does not have ideal proportions. This diamond will be more brilliant than fiery. The plot seems busy, it also has twinning wisps and clouds as the primary inclusions and those are really not my favorite. Remind me again why we are not looking at stones online? What are the quotes for these stones?
 
The G/SI1 has better proportions though an 80% lower girdle worries me if i wasn't able to see the stone. 80% on a GIA report means 77.5-82.5 LGF which could mean the pavilion mains are nicely proportioned (if at the 77.5% mark) and arrows are a nice medium size or they are at the thin end (if actually at 79-82.5%).
