Opinion on this radiant

[stinger]

I decided to get a lesser center stone so I could get the setting I want (can always trade up). I decided on this radiant diamond. It was about $3000 (sorry all I could afford right now and Im on a time deadline!!). I''ll post pics when I get it, should be shortly. It''ll be set in this:



Carat: 1.03
Color: G
Clarity: SI2
Shape: Radiant
Depth %: 76.5
Table %: 73
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 5.68*5.41*4.14
Length To Width Ratio: 1.05
Lab: GIA

Cannot comment on the stone but the setting is stunning!

I know. Once I saw this setting I knew I had to get it. I could have went for a better radiant and sacrificed the setting but I figured I can always upgrade so I went with this. We''ll see!

Have you seen this one in person? It''s always hard to tell on radiants without seeing a picture. The numbers don''t tell the whole story--you really need to see them. You can have 2 radiants with the same numbers look completely different.

That being said, I would probably look for a radiant that has less depth. A deep stone will look much smaller than it should. Ideally, your depth should be in the 60s.

Yah, but for $3,000 it seems like a reasonable price...Call Jim @ James Allen I am sure he can find you the optimal center radiant for you budget 877-826-9866.

Stinger, are you going with that dimend Scaasi setting? If so, they''ll set only diamonds purchased through them. So keep that in mind.

btw, I just got my e-ring from dscaasi and it''s that very setting, although customized a bit. Here''s a link: http://https://www.pricescope.com/forum/steam-room/my-new-asscher-engagement-ring-t49389.html.

Your ring will be stunning!

Yeah I went through DimendScassi. It should be ready beginning of next week!
