I'm looking at this to be placed in a halo setting and being a newbie to this whole diamond thing, I was wondering if you wonderful people could help me out on whether or not this is a good diamond.

Thanks!

Compare it, price-wise, versus this stone:

.918ct, H, SI1
http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3045724.htm

This stone is approximately the same size, same color, and will be equally eye-clean to the stone you had linked. This stone also has been vetted by experts to be a top-notch cut, and it carries the AGS 0 Ideal cut grade.

If the stone you had linked is lower priced, it may still be worth considering. If it is more expensive than the Whiteflash stone, then the choice is easy!

Hi Rocky! Thanks for the reply, the stone I linked is actually a lower price than the whiteflash one. Also, the setting I picked is on the JA site, so I guess in this circumstance, the JA one would be the way to go?

Looks like a pretty stone. Request us an IdealScope and ASET image from them of the stone. You get to choose 3 stones free. I'd advise picking two more stones for further comparison.

Hey Jeremy,

Thanks for the advice. These are the other two stones I asked to be reviewed by the JA gemologist.

When you say "reviewed" does that include getting IdealScope images?
I like the first stone and the WF stone the best thus far.

The customer service rep said they would be reviewed by a gemologist, do i have to ask for the ideal scope specifically?

I can always contact them to get it done right?

Also, would you say the JA one and Whiteflash one are pretty even, or would there be noticeable differences?

Once again, thanks for the support, I truly appreciate it.

bump.

Yes, you have to ask for an idealscope.
