Check with other vendors for lower pricing.

I have and found one that's lower for this stone, but they didn't have the video, so posted this link. What do you think of the stone?

I like it, but I'm still learning. (Just learned about upper bezel facet darkening earlier today ...)
Can't wait to see what expert eyes see!

The stone looks very nice, though there may be some over-obstruction (paddling at the arrow tips).

OK - how would that affect it's performance? Is that something to be really concerned about?

In a ring, it may mean it looks a little darker than another stone might at the same distance. For a pendant or earrings, it's probably not an issue.

Ahhh....ok. Well, shoot.....this was going to be for a ring. It was the only one I found with the proportions I want in days of looking.

If the video is accurate I think the first one is much better.

There is so much I like better about the first one, too. I certainly like the proportions much better than these other two I posted......but now that I see that paddling, I can't unsee it.

There are other good options at this size/price.

These do look nice. Would the larger table size mean that they would be bright, but not particularly fiery? I had been aiming for table around 55-56 and hopefully crown angle 34.5-35 with complementary pavilion angles to enhance fire, but maybe I don't know what I'm doing.

Another prospect:

This may have slight blue nuance.

IMO the differences are very nuanced. Unless you have compared similar proportions side by side in person you may not even notice the difference or have a strong preference.

Hello, OboeGal!
Let me know when you're here in the forum...I found one that you really need to take a look at then act on fast if you like what you see before it gets sniped by an anonymous lurker.

I'll be here a little while longer tonight, and I'll probably check back in on the thread around noon tomorrow.

Are you still around? I found two stones for you to take a look at.

Thank you so much! It would be GREAT if I can get a stone from LooseGrownDiamond, because they have a setting I really, really want for it! <scurries off to check them out>

ETA: Well, phooo......the proportions on the certs look perfect, but according to every site except LooseGrownDiamond, both of those stones are already unavailable. I wonder if LooseGrownDiamond hasn't updated their inventory?

Oh no! That might be the case, unfortunately.

I really appreciate you and the other folks here taking the time to look, though.

Sometimes stones are available from some vendors and not others due to their relationships with their suppliers. I would double check with the vendor if you are really interested.

I have another option for you that I'll post later.

Sorry for the delay - let me know when you're here again and I'll post the one that I found.

Here's one more for consideration.


Oh, that IS a lovely one! =)2 I had been avoiding looking at Ds in an attempt to avoid blue nuance. Am I correct that this one doesn't seem to have blue? Or is that something that can't really be seen in a video, and needs to be judged in person?
