Ravin's D, E, and F for 03/08/3012

[Ravinmad]

Alright PS folks, I got this wild idea and want to try it out. I want each of you to pick 3 color grades , this week I took D, E, and F, and find a stone in each that just catches you fancy or thats your thing, and post it for folks here to check out and comment on. Me, I will stick to round brilliants likely and I will say most if not all will be sub 2.5carats.

Infact, someone might even get excited about one stone or the other and jump on it and buy it up.

I would like to suggest a few simple things to keep this thing on a semi even level or a standard of sorts.

Diamonds require a image online, the actual image of the stone being discussed

Diamond certificate is also available online thru the linked stone.

Posting of a HCA and any additional tool assisting in grading the stone and its criteria.

This is for the good of PS members, by PS members and not intended to be a challange or competition.... Atleast not at this time

I dont think I've violated any of the rules of PS, If i have please let me know and I will cease immediately.

With that said, here's my first go at it.

D

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/D-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-.asp

This .80 D VS2 catches me, it just has a nice look to it. It scores a 1.7 HCA with Ex, Ex, Ex, VG for its catagories PS price at 5220

E

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/E-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1468591.asp

This .75 E SI1 is another stone that just jumps out at me. It scores a 1.7 HCA with Ex, Ex, Ex, VG for its catagories PS price at 3640

F

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1464045.asp

This .50 F VS2 caught my attention its very pronounced mains. it has the maple leaf inscription on the stone and I have yet to be able to determine if this is truely a signature of a canadian diamond or not... help anyone???. It scores a 1.4 HCA with Ex, Ex, Ex, VG for its catagories PS price at $1830

This F I personally feel is a fantastic stone for someone on a lower budget as I was/am.

I suggest that anyone considering to buy any of these stones get a Idealscope, aset, and any additional information you can from the jeweler, be it the above and or a evaluation/video of the stone as the team at Goodoldgold does.

Thanks,

Ravin

D link is broken.

I thought Canadian diamonds were inscribed with a polar bear? No expert, I just read that somewhere.

And why is the center of the E blue? Do they use different lighting for different shots?

Yes, the maple leaf means the stone is from Canada.

I'll choose three stones that to me are up there with the best of their type:

1.75 E VS2 August Vintage Cushion (a beautiful example of this cut)

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8211/

1.81 I VVS1 August Vintage Round (this one is actually a little larger than I wear, but I think I could adjust if someone gave it to me!)

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9159/

1.63 G VS1 hearts and arrows round (beautifully cut and my favorite color and clarity!)

Now to win the lottery or something!
