Hi all. My partner and I have been looking at rings for a while now and I've learnt heaps on this website so thx. We are looking at around 0.6-0.7C D-F VS diamonds.

We are keen on getting AGS0 stones but it's very very difficult in melbourne coz not many places stock them. We are quite hesitant in buying it from the internet coz neither of us are experts. I've contacted MDX and there are 2 stones that we're looking at now. They both need to be ordered from overseas so I thought I'd get some valued opinions here about them:

Stone 1:
Carat weight: 0.617
Cut: 0
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Certificate: AGS H&A
Depth: 61.7%
Table: 54.6%
Crown: 34.1
Pavilion: 40.8
Polish: not on cert (is that a prob?)
Symmetry: not on cert
Girdle: 1.3-3.7
Culet: pt
Fluorescence: negligable
Measurements: 5.45-5.50 * 3.38
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.1 - Excellent
around US$ 2,328.41

stone 2
Carat weight: 0.708
Cut: 0
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Certificate: AGS h&a
Depth: 61.9%
Table: 55.4%
Crown: 34.8
Pavilion: 40.6
Polish: 0
Symmetry: 0
Girdle: 1.6-4.4
Culet: pt
Fluorescence: negligable
Measurements: 5.68-5.73* 3.54
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Very Good
Total Visual Performance 0.8 - Excellent
approx US$3,517.29

What do you guys think? Is the price reasonable? And has anyone heard of ICE H&A? Thanks in advance :)

bump! please any advice would be much appreciated as we''re really beginners and am really getting lost and confused... plus being in australia doesn''t help as alot of places don''t stock AGS stones
 
Weird color code for the ASET. And these are computer generated images, can''t they take an actual scope image?

Polish and symm not on the report is normal, depends on which year the report is from.
 
The images show potential, could be great stones - personally I prefer actual ASET and Idealscope images rather than these computer generated scans but by the numbers too these should be good looking diamonds.
 
All these images are useless. They are computer-generated, based upon the average measurements of the grading-report.
 
Thanks for the reply.

I am quite upset to know that the images are not ''real''. I actually asked the person at MDX today why the images are computer generated and she insisted it''s real images. So am I really being taken for a ride? What should I do to ensure that I do get ''real'' images?

me and partner have been looking at diamonds for months and months and we''re getting to a point where we''re almost sick of looking around. We''ve actually went to Holloway Diamond in Melbourne since Garry have an excellent reputation here but we can''t really afford what they have there.

Sorry for the whinge. I really don''t know how to proceed from here.
 
I agree, get an actual ASET image not the computer-generated kind.
