Hi MP,

Do you have the diameter measurements of these two please? Any Idealscope images?

 

[Motownphilly27]

Hi Lorelei,

The dimensions of the first diamond are 6.23*6.21*3.81 and the second are 6.27-6.24-3.8.

No idealscope images. The guy from James Allen said they would take a couple days and that the HCA would be more reliable.

I would have to disagree with that....So going by these numbers, I''d pick the second one.

Huh?

Motown, I will defer to ellen's judgement on the stone, but just fyi this comment from your rep is a little baffling..

Idealscope images are not normally a problem....I would also pick the second with the info we have.

I just had the same experience with JAmes Aleen in that they told me the idealscope would take a couple of days (they did not tell me the HCA would be more accurate however) but other pricescopers advised me to ask for a Sarin report, which I did. JAmes Allen got it to me within a day and a half. I *think* the Sarin can somewhat replace the idealscope, right?

I got an idealscope image for the first stone. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

It looks fine, do you have the actual pic of the diamond please?

 

[Motownphilly27]

Here is the pic I got off of James Allen.

 

[Lorelei]

Are you still awaiting the IS and pic for the second diamond?

 

[Motownphilly27]

The second is from Union Diamond, and I wasn''t able to get a IS for it.

 

[Motownphilly27]

Is there a big difference between the two? Something that is worth the $500.

Are they both GIA graded?

 

[Motownphilly27]

Yes

Should I be worried at all about the thin girdle, very small culet, or medium flourescence?

No worries, a thin girdle should be fine, very small culet is no issue see here - http://diamonds.pricescope.com/culet.asp Medium fluorescence is also not a problem.

I just bought it with this setting. I hope it turns out ok!
