Welcome!

Both have good potential, the next step is to check with BN if these are eyeclean to your standards - e.g, if you don't want to see any inclusions from any angle at close scrutiny, make sure they know that. Do you have the grading report for the first one please so we can check the girdle as on the report?

 

[crease123]

Thanks for the reply! You have no idea how relief you just make me feel.

So you are saying it is possible to call up BN and ask them to verify it is eye-clean?

Another possibly newbie question, I was at Jared earlier and their diamonds all have some kind of serial numbers laser-inscribed to the diamonds primarily as an identication tool should you need to turn in the diamond for repairs in the future. I think that is a great feature, and my question is....does BN''s diamonds possess that feature as well?

Report for the first diamond.

 

[crease123]

I feel kinda pesky with my questions

Is it safe to assume that it will be alright to bring my diamond to Jared and get it mount on to the ring that my GF likes from there, right?

 

[crease123]

Oh, and the girdle for the first diamond: Faceted, 1.2% to 3.5%.

Yes, do call them and ask if eye-clean.

Can you also post the link to the 2nd diamond.

If a diamond is inscribed, it will be noted on the report in the comments section.

Thanks that is in a good range, and don''t feel bad for asking questions, that is what we are here for

The GIA stone has a 58 table not a 55 table, 55 is the star length. On paper my preference is the AGSL stone. Price is much lower than similar H-SI2 AGSL ideals there so that indicates due diligence to me. With similar stones you could tell BN they''re for earrings and have a look at both

This is the report for the 2nd stone.

Good call, yeah the table % for the second stone is 58%, my bad.

The table is still within good range, having said that I prefer the first diamond but both are well cut. Check carefully that these diamonds are eyeclean as mentioned previously.
