Well still looking.. I have found one stone that looks interesting and in my price range.

can I have any opinions please..

One round brillant
meas. 6.19mm - 6.21 x 4.0 mm
weight .98ct
table 53% total depth 64.4%
culet medium girdle thick to very think (faceted)
polish good symmetry good
color h-i

clarity si2

can get stone for about 2600.00 from local wholesaler. Worth it or ??

That stone is deep, IMO. I personally wouldn''t get one that deep because you''re losing weight where you can''t see it. It won''t look as large as one that''s less deep.

 

[klicks]

yes I was concerned about the depth.. but likely the reason it falls in my price range..

..will it be that big a downside?

 

[Kaleigh]

It''s way too deep, have you checked out any of the PS vendors??

 

[klicks]

this is the same size stone ct wt and color and cut and quality as the one listed above.. but is from whiteflash and will run 1300 more .. am I going to notice 1300 worth of difference?

What about this one? It''s $2846 with the PS discount.

At 6.04 mm diameter, you will barely notice the difference between that and 6.19 mm (your first pick), and definitely not if they''re not side by side.

This one is also $3919 with the PS discount, and it's bigger than all of these so far. Diameter 6.54 mm. This is what I'd pick if I were buying.

The one you picked with 63.6% depth is still too deep.




ETA: Rather than looking at the carat weight, you should look at the diameter.

What is the PS discount for Whiteflash, BTW? 100$ or something? That''s pretty decent.

Kimberly, this one (http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/diamond_Details.aspx?itemcode=GIA-14814724) does have depth 60.3. The one that klicks picked, item code 4349127 above, had depth 63.6 according to his post.
