Hello to all! Longtime lurker here who now needs advice deciding between 2 options:
Option 1: I received this stone from my mother as a candidate for an e-ring for my gf:
It’s not the best of stones and was appraised, not GIA/AGS graded:
1.24ct I VVS1
7.00x4.17mm
Depth: 59.4%
Table: 60.1%
Pav Depth: 43.3%
All the info I got from the appraiser.
Option 2: After lurking on this awesome site, I’ve been itching to get an HoA stone from one of the reputable internet dealer that I’ve seen from this site. I’m in a sticky situation on whether or not to shell out an extra $2k for a nicer HoA stone.
Also, what’s the general consensus on the C ordering? From my inexperience I have my first priority being Cut, Carat, Color and then Clarity (eyeclean). Now would SI-1 be eye clean from a dealer like GOG or WF? And should I dip into the I color range for a larger stone, I notice a huge price jump from G-H-I, how noticeable is an H-I comparison?
These are what I’m looking at that are all around the same price (which is $2k more than I had intended to go with):
a)1.16ct I VVS2 (2nd $$)
•Cut GIA Ex
•AGS Light Perform: Ideal
•Polish Ex
•Symmetry Ex
•6.79mm(W) x 6.85mm(L) x 4.13mm(D)
•Pav: 40.9
•Crown: 34.36
b)1.25ct I VS2 (Least $)
•Cut AGS Ideal
•AGS Light Perform: Ideal
•Polish Ideal
•Symmetry Ideal
•6.88mm(W) x 6.90mm(L) x 4.27mm(D)
•Pav: 40.92
•Crown: 34.98
c)1.24ct H SI2 (Most $$$)
•Cut AGS Ideal
•AGS Light Perform: Ideal
•Polish Ideal
•Symmetry Ideal
•NA(W) x NA(L) x NA D)
•Pav: 40.70
•Crown: 34.70
All advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
