I like the numbers in the 1st stone but hopefully the experts will weigh in. Why can''t you get an IS image? I would want one. Are these stones you have seen in person?
 
i have not seen them in person, just found them on the internet. So they sent me the certificate information.

I don't know exactly how the dealers get access to their diamonds, but I would assume it is from a handful of sources, maybe the sources don't provide IS images? I'm not really sure, I have asked specifically for the and this particular company said they do not have one. it's frustrating, but I'm trying to do my best to narrow it down, once I get a few I will see if it's possilbe even for them to send somewhere and get it done. Of course, if the costs to do this is too much (who knows how much it costs?), i would just go with the company that has provided me with the IS images and all relevant info!
 
I would take #4. The cut is great, F VS1 is going to be totally mind clean and eye clean (and close to loupe clean!), and it is the largest of the 4 (and I like it better than #2 which is the closest in size)!
 
I was wondering why i didn''t post Diamond #4 before, it was because it was 25% more than the rest of the diamonds. I know they have this one in stock, so i guess i can ask him for the best price and make a decision from there whether to pursue it or not.

Please let me know what your top 2-3 diamonds are failing that....thanks!

So no. 4 is the most expensive? eta: are the other 3 close in price?
 
Prices?
 
I don''t have the prices with me, but diamond 4 is in the $15,600 range. The other ones ranged from about $10,000 to $12,0000.

I will check tomorrow, but that''s roughly the range.
 
Thanks for the links!

What do you guys think of the last one? I get a HCA of 1.0 on that one. Looks to be a good price, anyone ever deal with this company?

- this company seems to carry top quality cut diamonds as well.

Out of all the diamonds posted including the above ones, which diamond is your preference, or which company would you go with? Winfields, Blue Nile, or Nice Ice?
