Hi all,

Thanks for all your help and for all the great posts on this forum. All the information given was truly invaluable
Here was my final choice from WF

I've asked for a custom made ring and cant wait to see the results

Good luck to all the other diamonds hunters out there

Gorgeous stone!!!

Question for the experts because I want to learn - what makes this stone an Expert Selection rather than an ACA? The Ideal-Scope and Aset images look perfect to me...

Hi,

Basically this stone is an expert selection and not an ACA because of slight differences in the angle and ratios. For example you'll notice the pavilion angle is 40.7 when all the ACA are 40.8.
The crown angle is 34.7 instead of 34.9 for most ACA

At the end of the day, I called the sales at WF, asked her to pull 3 stones out.2 were expert selection, 1 was ACA and she told me there was no difference in terms of performance (brillance, fire), so I just went with the one that had the characteristics I wanted

Hope this helps

Cheers
