If it's an ACA, you should be good to go!

Bummer.

We were looking at this last night. He put it in his cart with the setting and wanted to talk to Brittany at WF today. He just got home and said when he talked to her, he wasn’t able to share the cart and they would try again tomorrow.

I was researching it today to go over more info with him.

I just looked and it says “sold/reserved”

They all look beautiful.
i don’t want to make an assumption. But I have a hunch he’s buying the “reserved” 2.02. Yesterday he said he was considering the wire transfer for the discount. I think that takes a couple of days.

All of those posted are beautiful.

What would be the best comparable one?

He asked me to send him the one we looked at Sunday, it’s on hold. So not that one.

This one is a VS2 with a crystal. Is this going to be eye clean? Are crystals black spots?


Crystals are not necessarily black spots. Some are whiteish. I would ask WF if there is anything to be seen at any distance. I
think they use 10 inches but ask and see if they see anything closer. Usually, our eyes have a hard time focusing at close up
but sometimes younger* eyes can do it.

Its a beautiful stone. You dont need to run ACAs through the HCA tool. These are Super Ideal Branded H&A AGS000 stones.
Pretty much the best of the best!

The 2.16 looks nice too.

It says “eye clean” on the details. Do you think That’s the same thing?

In your opinion, which of the 2 would be better?

Thank you for your help.

Question for ACA diamonds:

This diamond has a star facet of 49 (research found it should be 50-55)

I’ve attached the geometry report and the ASI.

Listed on WF as a hearts and diamonds (ACA). Is this still a good diamond or am I being too picky?

I’m knew to researching diamonds. Learning as I go.

You asked which of the two would be better...several stones have been discussed. I need to know which two you are talking
about. Links, please.

You are getting into the weeds with the star facet.

ACAs are hard to pick apart because they are pre-vetted to have all the right numbers as well as images that prove they are
Ideal performers. Sometimes you can pick out small reasons you might like one over the other or, sometimes one just speaks
to you a little more than another one.

If you give the links to the two stones you're talking about I'll take a look. You can also ask for pictures of the two stones
side-by-side from your SA (sales associate). Sometimes that helps you to choose. The SA can also talk you through the stones
and let you know what they see in person.

I would ask for side-by-side pictures. Ask the SA if either one of them is "whiter" G (probably not) but worth asking.
Really hard to pick one over the other because they are both beautiful.

My eyes prefer the 2.002, but it's definitely a toss-up

The 2.02 is sold. WF said our best option is this one. WF has this one on reserve for us. She is going to go look at it to confirm the clarity is eye clean and if the crystal is white or visible.

absolutely! Looks fantastic as long as they ensure the inclusions aren't visible to the eye

Crazy question.

My finger size is a 6.25. Is this going to be too big? Tried on a 1.5 and a 2 at retail stores. The 2 had more presence. Definitely popped! 1.75- not enough of a difference either way. The 1.5 looked nice too. I don’t want it to be “gaudy”. Just elegant and beautiful. Not too much, not too small. Good proportions with my hand.

It’s hard to tell with a quick try on.
