Please offer me some advice on this EC

[jpec]

Im thinking very seriously about getting this diamond for a e-ring. Please let me know what you think. Please take a look at the ASET images, since I don't really know how to interpret them.

Looks like a winner to me. I

it.

as long as the crown height is over 10% it is excellent.

Barry said it was 12.3% so should I go for it?

 

[jpec]

Any other thoughts or comments?

Based on cut yes.
You are paying a lot for the IF clarity but some people prefer it and its not a bad thing.

Yea I know I am paying for the clarity, but I like the ratio and the medium girdle, and like you said the cut seems very nice. I just don''t know how it interpret the ASET image.

What you look for is first light return center, green or red.. yep
Next check for patterns ... yep
next enough reds with some greens mixed in the right places.. yep

I pulled the trigger on the stone. Now the setting, I was thinking of a simple side stone configuration with baguettes specifically this one in palladium I like the simple elegance of this one:

Im concerned about have a tasteful symmetry between the side stones, ring thickness and the center stone, Any thoughts or suggestions?
