Sudden price increase?

[luvmysparklies]

@aapple0112 , I love following peoples' journeys to get beautiful diamonds. You asked earlier in the thread about the 2.39 diamond in Dejawiz last post with the great proportions. Your question was in this post here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/sudden-price-increase.275816/post-5186313

Now both Dejawiz and KimN assured that the proportions are wonderful and can hold off your DSS!

Seems like the 2.39 could very well be your winner! It truly is a beauty!

Who would do a better job on the setting--FD or the custom jeweler? If FD, then I'd pick the 2.11. If the custom jeweler, then I'd pick the 2.13. Since the Fs are so close in price to the 2.13, I wouldn't pick the Fs.

I honestly don’t who is better. I will start another thread to ask.

 

[aapple0112]

$200 less than the 2.11 E, and essentially the same spread/diameter...the table is 58% and the proportions would probably lean a bit towards more brilliance:

The 2.11 is not sold. I was asking them some questions about it, and somehow they put it on hold. They have it in hand. I've asked them to remove the hold.

Is the 2.13 still available?

@Kim N I didn’t ask for 2.11, but I requested 2.28D GIA instead. 2.28 is sold, and 2.04 is sold as well. I asked FD why, she said inventory is not updating on time. stone might still online but it might already sold? So…

I am not sure 2.13 is still available, it’s at other site. I will send request to compare 2.13 and 2.26 or 2.27.

I pick the 2.11 E over both of these. I prefer the proportions of the E over those of the D. I also think the E is cleaner under the table. And I prefer the E over the F because it's HPHT.

Here are the videos they sent me of the 2.11 E.

@Kim N did you just receive this video? Or previously requested? If it’s current, do you mind if I ask her to do 3 stone comparison? most importantly, is that ok if I decide to take 2.11( only if)

I don't mind at all! The video was taken today. I was only asking them questions about it for my own interest, not to purchase. In fact, the 2.11 gets my vote for the one you should get!

 

[DejaWiz]

I wouldn't make a move until I see more info about the 2.39 E VS2...but that's my opinion.

yes, I will wait for the 2.39 but meanwhile I want to ask for 3 stones comparison.

@Kim N Thank you! I sent request for 3 stones comparison.

also could you teach me how to move video to Imgur? thanks

I used a video downloader extension in Firefox to download them onto my computer first.

Looking forward to the comparison!

I think I'm leaning towards the bottom.

That 2.11 ASET looks to be on point out of these three.

I agree, though we know they're not the best at taking ASET photos.

 

[aapple0112]

You have super good eyes!! From top to bottom 2.08 2.09 2.11
indeed 2.11 is the best out of 3

I agree too! I asked to reserve 2.11

Excellent!
Any ETA for the 2.39?


There is a 7% surface area difference between the two: up to you to decide if that's enough of a difference to matter.

2.11ct Round (8.28×8.31×5.06) vs 2.39ct Round (8.56×8.59×5.3)

Compare 2.11 carat Round (8.28×8.31×5.06mm) vs 2.39 carat Round (8.56×8.59×5.3mm) on actual diamond size and finger coverage (54.04mm² vs 57.75mm²)

Not yet, hopefully I will have chance to compare.

photos and videos are back! Your thoughts pls.
I am still waiting for under sunlight video. Do you see any blue nuance? At beginning DeJaWiz was talking about minor blue nuance? What do you think overall performance? Which one win the most?

What is the price difference between the two? The 2.11 has more precise H&A, though in real-world viewing this shouldn't visible. I don't see any blue nuance on the 2.39. The 2.39 is very well cut. At 0.28mm diameter difference, you would be able to tell the two sizes apart. Which one are you leaning towards?

The H&A images were taken with the diamonds ever slightly off center / tilted. I'd say either would likely be an extremely safe choice if H&A precision is a checkbox.
I don't see any blue nuance, as well.

@DejaWiz @Kim N

2.39 is GIA and it does say H&A in the certificate. I know IGI‘s H&A isn’t so strict, but how about GIA?

2.39 is about $200 cheaper, and I can not deny that I am crazy about cut performance but that size is very attractive.

If we remove the size factor but only the performance, which one win? I do more care about brilliance and sparkles.

If this is your purchas, which one would you pick?

For $200 cheaper and bigger, I would pick the 2.39 for myself. The cut quality difference between the two is negligible.

These are so so very close!
Showed my wife the comparison video, and without telling her anything about either diamond, she says her eyes see just a hint more colored light flashes in the bottom (2.39) diamond.
Which do your eyes gravitate to more, having seem all of the video, @aapple0112?
