Looking for:
Princess Cut 1.0 - 1.2 CT
Color: F - G
Clarity: VS1 - VS2
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Best cut I can find
Budget $7000 for diamond alone
First off, had I not found this site I would have purchased the first VS1 stone I saw, but now I realize there''s so much more to it. Anyway, I''m in the market for a 1.0 - 1.2 CT princess cut diamond and at the moment I feel overwhelmed. I''ve been looking at diamonds day in and day out for the past week and still haven''t found anything I''m in love with. I''ve been to Robbin''s Brothers, but wasn''t happy with their prices. I spoke with someone at Pearlman''s and they picked out 5 diamonds, but I''m weary about buying a diamond on-line without seeing an ASET image or magnified image. By the way, I''m glad I learned about ASET images, seems to make purchasing a diamond without seeing it first hand MUCH easier. I''ve got so much running through my head right now I don''t even know where to begin...
Before I embarked on my search, I thought I wanted a VS1 stone with a color no worse than F, but after speaking with an individual at Pearlman''s he suggested I look at color G and clarity VS2 because it''s a better value and I could get a bigger stone. What are your thoughts on this? I like the idea of the bigger stone (1.1 - 1.2 CT), but want to make sure I''m still getting a great quality diamond. Prior I wasn''t sure if I was comfortable with a VS2, G, but now I don''t know.
If I plan to buy a diamond on-line without seeing it first hand, it seems almost absolutely necessary to see an ASET image before purchasing, but from what I''ve found not a lot of vendors provide this. Do you guys feel these images are an absolute must prior to purchase?
I''ve been searching here on Pricescope, Whiteflash, James Allen, etc, and have found a lot in my price range that match what I''m after, but a lot don''t provide ASET images or anything like that. How do I know I''m not getting a dud diamond?
Which would you all prefer:
* 1.0 - 1.05 CT
* Color: E - F
* Clarity: VS1
* Polish: Exc
* Symmetry: Exc
or
* 1.1 - 1.2 CT
* Color: G
* Clarity: VS2
* Polish: Exc
* Symmetry: Exc
both with depth of around 72-75% and assuming prices are similar.
I''m going insane here, maybe you guys can find something that meets my criteria that I missed? I greatly appreciate any help.
