I know its best to see the idealscope and other images to make an informed decision but unfortunately these are from bluenile. I tried searching on James Allen but the choices are slim and prices are significantly higher for the specs I am looking for. I know I don't "need" E color or IF but it "needs" to be at least those specs so I would love to know what you guys think of the above and what could be wrong with them.

I am from Australia so its hard for me to purchase just to inspect it so I am wanting to know whether its worth taking the plunge or not.

Thanks all!

Also is there a trustworthy appraiser who can assess the stone for me prior to me paying for the stone (for a fee ofcourse)? If s, how would that work? I pay the appraiser and if no good they return the stone and if good I pay them or bluenile?

Any help would be appreciated, hope to buy this week if I can!

Or I was thinking of buying an idealscope and the stone and look fr myself (and post it here) but this might be more hassle especially if the stone is no good (need to sort it buy first week of September)

Thanks
