hello everyone,

i''m looking to purchase a pendant and need your advice on which diamond to choose. my budget is about 1500-2000 for the setting plus stone. my first choice was a J from whiteflash but it''s already disappeared

and i just saw it last night!

anywho, here are two possible contenders

1) .51, F, VS1 http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-798812.htm

2) .54, I, VVS2 http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-798828.htm

thanks in advance for your help!
 
both are great, but i would get the bigger one!

belle - thanks for your response. my inclination is to get the bigger one, too.

bridget - thanks for another diamond to consider, unfortunately bob said the G has a very noticeable carbon spot when viewed up to five inches away. granted, no one would be able to see it, but i know it''s there! to answer your question about the setting, it''s going to be a solitaire.

i''m considering this J, it''s about the same size as the one bridget posted and has a better price. the inclusions are pretty visible, too. lots of tiny ones.

decisions, decisions...
 
oooohhh...now i''m liking the j!

There isn't much above .5cts with cut pedigree and withing budget, aside this H/Si1 H&A

And a few AGS0s on the virtual database (i.e. with unknown H&A quality). Among those, this H/VS2 turned out to be the largest VS option.

Very, very pretty stone!

I wish you well,

Bridget
 
belle - yes, that J has a great price. i''m having a hard time getting over the tiny inclusions, though.

valeria101 - yes, the J said sold because I had it on hold. that''s a very pretty H from GOG and an even better size. unfortunately i think the J, although has more inclusions, are not at the center.

what do you ladies of think of this J VS2 instead?

oh what to do... better color, smaller size, lower clarity or lower color, bigger size, better clarity?

;o)
 
did you buy it? it says sold on the website.

i was also going to say that you definitely want what they call around here a "mind clean" stone, regardless of what you can or cant see, because i know from experience that if it drives you crazy now it always will! for me, when I got my .5 ct round pendant, i could have gotten a bigger stone if i dropped in color but my "mental hangup" was getting an H that would be the same as my e-ring. Clarity I could care less about as long as its overall eye clean.
