Opinion on this stone?

[jivephish]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted you opinions on this stone i came across. I've been looking for a few weeks now, found a lot of helpful information on this website, on youtube, and on GOG articles. This looks like a real winner and reasonably priced (relatively speaking) at $27k.

It looks pretty good. Here's a comparable which after the discount JA gives PS members would come out to less than that stone:

Not unheard of around here to find a great deal!

Thank you for the reply. What discount does JA give to PS members? Do any other vendors give discounts as well? Thanks

JA gives between 1-5% and I believe there's also a bank wire discount....There are other vendors that give discounts, but the only other one that I'm aware of that will give a similar discount is ID Jewelry...Whiteflash gives a ps discount, but I don't believe it's that big...

Superb stone

HCA score is excellent .8

Also check if the same stone is listed with other online stores with lower price, some of the online companies do have price match guarantee, You may even get it at more cheaper rate.

The JA has SBF - lowers the price, esp. in this high-colour high-value range
I prefer the original stone OP is looking at, no point in paying for VVS to compromise on spread and fluor

The only reason I showed this stone wasn't for the OP to get it but to show that it's possible to find a great stone for a decent price.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I will look around to see if i find this stone or identical at other vendors.

I spoke with WF and BG; WF gives a 2% off of any "in-house loose certified diamonds" which can be combined with the 3% wire and new registration discount. BG gives 5% off the credit card price.
