5293264.jpg Screenshot_20180706-142354_Firefox.jpg Hello all, first time poster and new member here. Please be gentle in case I see anything here that I should already know.

I've narrowed down my search on a diamond I've narrowed down my search on a diamond for an engagement ring and had it run under the asset scope. I wanted to get others input on the results.

From my limited knowledge and what I've read online I think this Falls in either a good or Fair results. There's a fair amount of red and green, but also some grey and white areas. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is more on the fair to poor end of the spectrum or somewhat comment for a princess cut diamond.

Not sure what details you need but what I know is that it's ideal cut, internally flawless, and rated by IGI. I know it's not GIA certified, but wanted to get others opinions on what I'm looking at. Any and all input is welcome. If anyone needs any details to offer their input let me know as I have everything, just wasn't sure what to include here.

Thank you in advance for the input, Shawn

thank you for the thank you for the response. I've Google the number of examples like the ones you posted here, I was just looking for a second opinion on which this most closely correlates with. Using the picture you copied here I would say it's most closely match to either the very good or ideal one on the left. But I could also make a case that it's closer to one of the middle ones on the average row. Wasn't sure if anyone would see it differently?
 
It's not baaaaad...

Have you compared it to the ideal cut princess stones on Whiteflash?

Definitely “Very Good”. @OoohShiny’s suggestion is a good one! Check out WF!
 
Hadnt hears of whiteflash so I'll definitely poke around there some. Speaking to budget, trying to stay at or around 7,000 on the diamond itself. I could do a few hundred over for the right one. This one came in at $6,750 on JA so thought it might be the most bang for my buck given the size and cut, using the lower grade color as an offset. Was hoping a respectable ASET report, along with the IF, would work out well. Any thoughts on my logic?

The ASET is actually good, although not perfect. IF is overkill and if I could find an equally good performing stone that was VS and raised the color to G or H (gia graded), I would. Color is often quite visible to the viewer. Imperfections (inclusions and blemishes) can be carefully found to be less visible. But, you are getting a big discount for this being IGI.

Two cautions about your stone.
(1) IGI is not as strict on color as GIA. So, this I might be more like a J or K-if GIA graded. That along with it being a princess means you will very likely have visible body color. More from the side, but to a color acute viewer it will be present. That will bother some and not others.
(2) That thin girdle. That will require the stone to be bezel set or very low-set in a halo. The setting process has some risk to a thin girdle, so if you buy this one, have JA set the diamond so they take the liability. You won't be able to set this into a standard 4 prong setting.

Did your girl specifically ask for a princess cut? They are kinda a love/hate shape. So, I'm just checking.

Can you link to the video. Make sure you have it on hold first.
 
Thank you very much for the advice RockySalamander. It's exactly the feedback I was looking for. To answer a couple of your questions, yes the girlfriend specifically asked for princess cut. I personally prefer round for obvious reasons, but given it's her ring I'd rather get her what she prefers. I do have the diamond on hold for the time being so I'm safe there in case I decide to pull the trigger. I copied a link below to the Diamond itself as requested.

https://www.jamesallen.com/mobile/l...cut/1.52-carat-i-color-if-clarity-sku-5293264

I'm going to do an updated search to see if I can find something based on your feedback. I appreciate all the input.
 
would you make any concessions on the cut grade in favor of color? Should I consider anything less than ideal for a princess? That seemed to be what I was fnding online that anything less than ideal for a princess to generally stay away from.

I wanted to stay in that 1.5 carat range, but kind of price myself out of it for the most part at ideal. maybe I'm just being unrealistic based on my budget. I can handle it if you guys think that's the case.

For cut, no exceptions. Think of a diamond as a hall of mirrors and your are trying to align all those mirrots to a fine point. You need precision and excellence, or you lose light and it looks sad and grey. I allow for VG in polish and maybe symmetry (depends on how it looks). I search down to SI2 as we can sometimes get lucky. Nothing jumped out other than the 3 I posted.

DiamondsbyLauren are exceptional with fancy cuts, and you might reach out to them to see if they can find anything in your budget and specs. And...their settings are lovely.

Cut is king. Better to find awesome spread, over weight with ideal cut. Stay at G & above for color. As @rockysalamander mentioned, you can get lucky with SI clarity, sometimes. IF is def. overkill. You can get an SI-VS graded princess cut that is perfectly eye-clean & full of sparkle.
You just have to be willing to look.

Awesome feedback rocky and mathews! I'm going to keep doing some research tonight and over the weekend and will post updates as I come across some results. I'm open to any listings you guys might come across in your searches, so feel free to post them here if you do. Thanks again everyone
 
what do you guys think of this one? It's an SI2, I believe due to the big inclusion at one of the points. But I'm thinking that this would likely be covered by the prong once it's actually set in the ring. Anyone have any opinions? I wasn't going to use another one of my three free ASET scans until I got your guyses opinion.

Hello! :)

I don't know what others think but please don't get that stone! That is a big inclusion and black, it will be so obvious. Also in the plot most of the issues are at the edge of the diamond, it makes me wonder if the diamond will be at risk during the setting process.

For what it's worth, if I were you (which obviously I'm not and also you know your girlfriend best), I would go with a princess that is excellently cut, reasonably colourless so either G or H, and VS1, 2 or SI1... it's very difficult to find good SI2s (although they do exist). If you do all of that first and then figure out what size that buys that would be best. If you choose a company with an excellent upgrade policy, if your girlfriend ever wants to upgrade then that is open to you and you can then focus a bit more on increasing the size.

A slightly smaller but beautiful diamond will look bigger anyway.

Hope that helps!
 
They can pull it for you and you can get them to clarify the cloud causes no issues. They are very honest about things like that. It's only about 0.2 of a mm smaller in each direction from your first choice, you would barely notice that difference especially if you got a bezel setting. And the performance would knock you over.

I love the setting, but I love WF’s diamond that @Lykame found, above.
I’m going to search WF’s setting inventory, and see if there is a similar setting. WF has excellent upgrade/return policies, and you just don’t get a better cut than a super ideal. They will face up larger & outsparkle any other diamond on the market!
 
Ok, so I found one similar to the JA setting, but I don’t think it will satisfy.
My recommendation: purchase the WF diamond, and reach out to David Klass & ask him to create the JA setting for you. He is amazing, and very reasonable. You can even add or subtract elements of the ring, if you like, to make it your own.
 
I actually like this diamond if you can use a setting to block view of that inclusion (see below). Get an ASET and let's see how it fairs on light return. The negative to me is the cavity, which is like an open hole in the diamond surface. They tend to collect dirt and grime. But, its off to the side, so potentially less problematic.

But, I found this one. Ask them to put this on hold ASAP while you ponder. Seriously. By the images, they should have this in their stock. Ask them to tell you if the diamond is eye-clean and is the color is closer to H or J. GOG has a great trade-up policy and even a buy-back that this diamond would qualify for (whereas JA requires you spend double on upgrade, GOG gives you full value with no limits akin to WF).

Do you mean the inclusion on the back of the upper left corner? That should be fully covered by a prong and the prongs on both sides should block it from mirroring in the stone. But, you need V prongs for that to happen (ok...you really need V-prongs or double prongs on all princess and diamonds with points). The posted setting ring will not work. You can check with JA on both this issue and the setting challenges.

It is wise to set a Princess Cut Diamond in “v” prongs, if you are not setting in a bezel. The corners need to be protected. Ball or claw prongs just do not provide enough protection for those pointed corners.
Love those Maevona settings, @rockysalamander!

Will definitely bow to your wisdom, but it's surprising to me that that could be hidden by a prong... It seems to... Stretch? And also how would it avoid getting mirrored? Would it be at risk during the stone being set? I guess it's something that would make me nervous unless I could see the stone personally, don't know what JA's return policy is like. Having said that, absolutely awesome if it's possible to set it and hide the inclusion and everything. :mrgreen2:

Oooh GOG... What a find! That is an awesome stone.

V prongs can be made with a bunch of different width and shapes. For this stone, I'd make sure the prong remains a bit wider along its length. Like the example below. The prongs remains wider along the full height. This will block most of the inclusion. There is nothing in the video that suggest this inclusion, which appears to be quite solid, is any risk during setting. But, before anyone tries to set a diamond, they will examine it for quite a while under a scope. The prongs are moved toward the stone to be in good position. Then, you use a hammer to shift the metal over the exposed edge. So, there is less pressure than you might think. The thin girdle is an issue as they can be damaged by squishing the prongs or just through normal life from chips.

If you look at the 1.92 c example of this setting. You can see how much coverage V-prongs can offer.

In general, adding prongs to the setting will not cause an inclusion that was not already mirroring to actually mirror. Optics are a tricky thing, so its not a sure thing. I'd want JA's gemologist to give an opinion and for the stone to be inspected before mailing for that effect. But, if you choose the setting well to have a cross bar...it will be fine.

@rockysalamander, what an informative post thank you, and I'm sure also really helpful for the OP!

Yes I like those types of settings and I can see how they would stretch to hide an inclusion. I have a crystal in my diamond and although I can't see it from the face up anyway, it was conveniently positioned to be put under a prong, which I liked the idea of.

I am really looking forward to watching that video, which I will do when I have access to WiFi.

Thank you again, really appreciate you answering the questions.

So I chatted with goodoldgold and put that diamond on hold. I asked for what you advised Rocky and here was his response:

Here is a video of it under different lighting conditions.


As for the color.. it definitely leans towards H.. I might want to even say it’s whiter. I placed it between a GIA H and GIA J

Personally think it's stunning. I am colour sensitive so I can see the colour but agree it looks whiter than the line up. However they are rounds it has been placed against, not sure if that changes judgement of body colour? I would prefer to compare like for like, so three princesses. However, light performance is really everything and that's a pretty video. I'm a layperson not an expert, but still, I would be very happy with a stone that looks like that!
 
I really like it. I think it gives you a lot of diamond for the price. Great performance. Eye clean. Kinda the holy grail for an SI2. It lovely and really looks like a high I. You still need to set it with corner protection (just a necessity for all princess cuts), but you won't have to worry if the inclusion is blocked as you would with the SI2.

Here's a few they have. All else being equal, I like a low cathedral shoulder, V-prong, and a setting that allows a flush or nearly flush fitting wedding band.

Did you give you any ideas about what she wants for a setting?
