Hi all,
This site has been so helpful, but I am running out of time. I am trying to find a princess shape, .38-.42, D-G, VVS1-SI1, and ideal cut. I am willing to lower color and clearity for better cut, but I would like to stay around the .4 range in size. My GF has a very small hand and she wants a smaller stone. I have been dealing with Union Diamonds, Excel Diamonds, and now just today James Allen. I have looked at some selections with Union as I am 1 1/2 hrs from Atl, but nothing jumped out at me. I am most interested in Fire and Scintillation, but I was not aware of the verbage at that time. I just have images in my mind from seeing fireworks in a princess at a local jeweller...they were $3K over my budget. I just read about the ideal and LSet scope Sunday and am trying to get one ( site says they are out, called and am waiting for call back). I have requested ideal scope images and Sarin data from James Allen and Excel and I will post once I get them. I have three questions:
1. Will I be able to find a good diamond for my budget of $1000?
2. Will I be able to find in house diamonds in my size range (so far I have not)?
3. Could you point me to some good selections?
I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks,
