Strong Blue FL or NONE?

@sledge you mentioned sometimes 35.5 with 40.6 ... what about this diamond?


I went to charm, and that was a disaster.... I saw one I diamond and under their lights, it looked whiter then my G ..... and of course seeing the 1.5 carat stones, I soooo wish I could someone get closer to 1.5 ... so thoughts on the one above?

or this...

Angles look like they'll be fine / complementary in the HCA tool.

I-colour will be a bit more tinted - are you happy with tint?

Inclusions are slightly visible in the video but will be microscopic and al-but-invisble-without-a-loupe in real life.


What is the BN upgrade policy? If you think you will definitely want to hit 1.5ct or larger at some point, it could work out cheaper/easier to get a smaller SuperIdeal from WF or CBI/HPD and then not have such a restrictive trade-up policy.
 
With BN, I just have to purchase a diamond double what my current G SI1 .76 cost, so I am starting my searches at $6500 (that is the double price point) ... I am COMFORTABLE with up to $9000 CDN, but I dont plan on ever upgrading again..... so I am thinking I should just increase my MAX, to get something closer to 1.5carats...


Im not entirely sure if I would be happy with a slight tint..... but if its a really well cut diamond will it really be that noticeable? I do love the crisp whiteness of my G .....

I had a 1/3 carat ring that I WON and I tried to sell that and NO ONE was interested.. .so I dont want to have to sell my current ring privately.....

What about this one.... again I am not sure I want an I diamond, since I originally wanted a G .. I am getting fed up with looking for diamonds, and I think Blue Nile is getting angry with me for not deciding yet... I still have the original H VS2 1.05 carat on hold .... but if I want closer to 1.5 carats, maybe this one?

LOL

Sometimes having a lot of choice is a hindrance more than a help! :lol:


I (personally) think that one looks good in terms of angles etc. as well (good searching!) - it's a VS2 but I can't see the crystal in the table on the video, so it might well be white/see-through, which is the sort of inclusion that is 'best' (IMO) :)

Getting an accurate assessment of colour from a video made by a third party with somewhat inconsistent lighting and video settings, shown on your (not perfectly adjusted) monitor is... challenging... but at least you would have a great Returns policy if you do order an I and find it's a bit too tinted for your taste :)

Will it be solitaire-set? Or in a halo? Halos can show tint less because you can't see through the side of the stone so easily, which is where it is more obvious (because there is no light return to hide it) :)
 
It will be solitaire set.
I'm happy they have the 30 day returns policy, but if I decide to order the I, and return it, most likely the H will be gone lol
