Ready to pull the trigger on this diamond

Honestly, I would go with the JA stone. It's just too risky to spend that much money when they are not providing images, ideal scope, ASET, gemologist evaluation. JA has a HUGE inventory and they have in-house stones. The only stones BN has in-house is their "signature" line (I think).

JA will provide you with 3 ASET, IS and gem evaluated diamonds for free. You've requested one. Might as well ask them to add two more comparable diamonds in the mix and then decide from there.

Here is an update:

Now 2 stones in consideration. The original stone is out because of carbon in the crystal located in the middle of the table.

JA - 2.06 G VS2 (Cert is available a few posts up)
BN - 2.02 G VS2 (Cert is also posted, no inclusions in the table)

Both excellent HCA rating, triple ex.

Here is the idealscope for the JA stone. How does it look?

The IS image looks great.

The IS image looks great.

Thanks for your feedback. Any preference between the 2 options?
