Thinking about pulling the trigger on this princess ?

First off this forum has been very helpful, I've learned so much reading posts from others and everyone contributing on here is really a wealth of knowledge the site is a real "gem"

I'm getting close to buying this stone

From everything I've read and learned sounds like it will preform great. I'm really thinking about buying it loose almost solely because after looking at sooo many stones in local shops I really want to examine the stone I'm planning on setting loose before I put it in a setting, I'm thinking about ordering it then sending it back to have it set, I know I'll have to pay the shipping and that this might sound crazy, but I really enjoy looking at these stones and seems like if it's in the setting I won't be able to examine it as easily as If it was not.

Looks like there are some minor spots of light leakage on the Ideal-scope image, but it seems like all the princesses I've looked at have minor leakage in the same spots so I'm assuming that's normal ? Any ways, all thoughts are welcome. Thanks again !

Idealscope tells you nothing about princesses. Post the ASET.

Aset

It's nice. And it is an AGS0. But if you could find one with more red in the ASET, particularly at the edges I'd prefer that. Still if you can't it's a very nice stone.

Thanks Gypsy I'll look into that.

Any more thoughts ? I'm also thinking about getting this setting modified to fit a princess, after much prying it seems to be what my GF is describing as her ideal setting.
