I''m guessing it''s blue nile, as it''s priced as such... honestly, their prices are higher than other e-vendors. It does *sound* like a luvly stone tho

For example, this ERD 1.53 G VS2 is approx $8100

Edited to add: Or, if you like reports & that kinda thing, this SC 1.36 G VS2 is also less than the stone you listed...

Hello,

jbrad26,

I have been researching Princess stones for 5 months and believe Bluenile is over priced. Here are a few I found from Whiteflash.com that are equal to or better than your selection. You can also ask Whiteflash for an Ideal Scope image of the diamond to better tell you if it will reflect light well. They will also do a SARIN report to find the crown %, an important part of the cut.

1.28 ct, G, VS1



1.21 ct, G, VS1

1.23ct, G, VS2

Good Luck!

Good examples that jbrad doesn''t have to pay so much - tho, honestly, there''s no way to determine that the WF stones are ''equal or better'' without a sarin....
Tho I''d venture a guess that #2''s the nicest of the three you posted...

Alexah is correct. You really do need the SARIN %''s to determine the quality for sure (also nothing compares to seeing it first hand).

And to correct my self......I really did not mean my picks were better but just wanted to show you examples of similar stones at a much lower price

I also like the Ideal Scope Image. The more red it is the better the light will pass thru. White indicates light leakage.

Hope this helps.
