Tell me how I will do if I get this ring...Princess cute solitaire blah blah blah

Yeah it''s another one of these threads, but I will post it anyway

Measurement: 5.36 - 5.22 x 4.06
Carat weight: 1.00
Cut: Very Good
Color: G
Clarity: SI1
L/W Ratio: 1.03
Depth%: 77.8%
Table%: 67%
Symmetry: Very Good
Polish: Very Good
Girdle: Medium, Polished
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None

Price is $3,375. I plan on putting it on a classic solitaire 4 prong setting. I think this is a pretty good price for a good cut, from my research. What say you?

I forgot it was certified by EGL and I would be ordering it online.

I like to see 1 ct princess around 5.5 mm square. So 5.4-5.6 is good. This stone is 5.29.

If you are open to suggestions of other stones, I would have these two stones called in:

Yes I am very much open to suggestions I will look into those 2 diamonds.

Do you think an I color would be noticable at all in a white gold setting?

 

[JulieN]

Will it look yellow in white gold? No.

Will it look colorless? Mmm, no.

researcher has a 3 ct I princess: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/engaged-at-last.16634/

 

[abugarcias]

So basically what you are saying is to sacrifice color for a better cut which would give me more fire and sparkle?

 

[JulieN]

Mmm, EGL USA may be one color grade soft.

an AGS 0 1 ct G SI1 would be over 5K; an AGS 0 1 ct H SI2 would probably be upper 3000s to low 4000s.

there may be deals to be had looking at GIA or EGL stones, but for me, it is too frustrating.

Excel diamonds are affordable that''s for sure. Is the company reputable?
