I am trying to find a diamond I can overnight tomorrow. I need some seriously fast help!

It looks amazing.
 
They''re exactly the same diamond

. Like I said before the diamond looks amazing! If you want to save a little bit more money, you might want to consider an eye clean SI1 or SI2. I went from a VS2 to an eye clean SI2 and I could not tell the difference at all (ACA from Whiteflash btw)!
 
From my other post...

Well, I went to the B&M. They had amazing diamonds. They put my diamond up to theirs, which was the same cut and clarity and both my diamond and theirs were certified by EGL USA, but their cut was within the guidelines set here on PS, and it blew my diamond away!!! Mine looked like a flat piece of glass and theirs looked like a burning fire! Their price (because my company gets a 25% discount with them) was $4,200. I was going to pay $5,000 for mine!! They also showed me a GIA certified D color, I1 clarity (eye clean) diamond for $4,500. They said it was a new cut with 84 or 86 facets (can''t remember which), called the Passion cut. They said they just started selling it this week, and I would be the first ever to buy this cut. Even if that was blown smoke, who cares if is a great stone?! So, what are your opinions on this new scenario??? I am driving myself nuts!!! Just to mention... I am still considering having a diamond from WF oernighted tomorrow. I just don''t think I need their AGS0 cut diamond for more than I can afford. Please advise. Thanks!
 
That looks like a great diamond, but do you really think I should go up in color and down in clarity, and still pay $300 more?
 
Sorry, that post was supposed to be for the diamond before that, but you were too quick. I really like the latter one you posted. Thank you.
 
Coda...That looks like a really great deal, but what about that inclusion right in the middle of it?
 
Coda....Again you were too fast, that post was for your comment right before...

Here''s a great Expert Selection stone. It is a great cut but you''re not paying the premium for the ACA brand. I think these are around 2% off with wire payment.

This one looks like it barely missed ACA. It got excellent on polish and symmetry instead of ideal. Since very good or above is acceptable, this stone really is a great buy unless you just want the branded ACA. But you wouldn''t be able to tell this one apart from an ACA. Plus it gets you over a carat for around $4500!

That said, color is personal and I color is a borderline color. Some prefer to stay above H and others go down to J to get more size for the money. Almost all ideal cut stones are very beautiful, so color is really personal preference. The diamond will be beautiful regardless! (And the great thing about WF is, if the color preference ever changes in the future, it is possible to trade in the stone at any time for the full value you paid.)
 
With almost any SI stone you will have to verify that it''s eyeclean. I can''t tell you whether or not it will be visible because both images are larger than the actual diamond will be. I would call Whiteflash first thing in the morning, and have them check out some of the stones we have mentioned here. They will be able to tell which ones are eyeclean, and which ones look the best overall. We''re just throwing possibilities out there.
 
Diamondseker...That one looks like it has som visible inclusions as well, but I am no expert and I REALLY DO APPRECIATE everyone''s input on this. I really will ask Bob Hoskins at WF about all of these tomorrow mornong. Thanks!

Did you look at the magnified photo? I couldn''t see any inclusions at all. I am extremely picky about inclusions and rarely recommend a stone that is not clean from the magnified photo. But absolutely always ask the ones who can view it in person! They will tell you for sure!
 
You are on the right track now. Bob will help you find an incredible diamond!
 
Posted this in your other thread, not realising there were two on the go! Not sure which one''s current so copying it here too for completeness:

Hello!

I honestly think this diamond is your best, and safest bet (the one that Ellen found for you):


http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/4103/


It''s great value, as it is slightly under a carat, 0.9ct, and is a fabulous combination of colour and clarity being an F SI1.


Take a look at the photo of the diamond... it is *stunning*.


It also has the benefit of the super-precise optical symmetry which creates the beautiful Hearts & Arrows which this diamond displays. This means it took around four times longer to cut this diamond than a standard AGS0 stone.


At $5205 after your bank wire discount, it''s an amazing diamond for you money and I would urge to give this one serious consideration.


GoodOldGold also have a lifetime upgrade policy - which means you can trade this stone in with them at any time, should you want to get a bigger (or different!) diamond in the future... something I expect the B&M doesn''t offer. :)


As incredible as this diamond looks in the pictures... it is nothing compared to its beauty in real life. It will blow you, and your future fiancee away... I promise!

If you''ve decided to work with Whiteflash, they have a similar diamond to the one Cleo mentioned. It''s an F, SI that''s just under a carat at 0.9 carats. It''s probably cheaper than the GOG one once you apply the discount. It looks eyeclean, but again that has to be verified. Here it is for one more possibility:

That''s the best thing to do! You simply can''t go by these magnified pictures, they are not representitive of how the stone looks in real life.
