Reserved my diamond! How'd I do?

[ChrisH86]

I've been a lurker on Pricescope for a few months now and now feel so much more knowledgable from when I first started researching for an engagement ring and knew absolutely nothing at all about diamonds. Thank you all!

I think I have finally committed to a diamond. Any opinions or reasons I shouldnt move forward with this selection?

Hi welcome to the forum. I'm a novice here so wait for other members to reply. However from what I know it seems a nice diamond, can't comment on the price. Ran the HCA which if you've been here for a while you probably have done already, though I didn't compensate for the culet. HCA EX EX EX VG 1.4. Perhaps I am missing something but I can't seem to see where the feather is in proximity to the girdle. Obviously you need to make sure that won't be an issue.

A stunning choice! You will be thrilled! How will you set it?

Thanks for the replies!

In regards to the feather... here is the AGS lab report that dispays the feather location.

Should that be of concern?

I am setting the diamond in the "Amphora" ring from WF. They'll be using ACA diamonds for the melee as well!

Hopefully a few other members can chime in with there thoughts on the diamond. I plan to finalize the purchase today!

Thank you very much!

Anyone have any other comments on the diamond that may help calm my nerves? haha... I am a first time diamond buyer haha

I think I am pretty sure of my diamond choice. I will be going with the .818 ct G Si1 ACA center stone.

I am now getting second thoughts on the setting. What would you choose between my original setting the "amphora"(18k white gold, .70ct melee replaced with ACA diamonds) and the Ritani halo(18k white gold, .21ctw G/H VS)?

$2,495.00 (price increase due to upgraded ACA melee)
