First of all, credit and thanks to all of the members of this forum--I''ve been a silent observer for some time taking in the ENDLESS stream of information that has been provided. I am simply a beginner and always will be but certainly learned a thing here and there from all the threads. With that, on with the biggest purchase of my life:
http://whiteflash.com/aca_princess/A-Cut-Above-Princess-cut-diamond-78232.htm
I echo all of the fantastic things that have been said so far of Whiteflash as well as comments regarding their A Cut Above Princess diamonds. I compared this particular stone side-by-side with a few of their Expert Selection stones of comparable grade and could indeed see the difference. The true test?--I looked at them on a stand-alone basis and could still notice the superior quality of the ACA. While a Princess will never achieve the performance of a RB, the ACA does a pretty good job of coming close!! For someone who is comfortable depending on others more knowledgeable, the ACA is the way to go. AGS0 Ideal works and Brian has generations of experience and knowledge behind him. See it in person if you can--I think one fellow PS poster put up some pics from his/her visit to WF earlier this year.
Soooo...would appreciate any comments from any and all, good and bad. Good stone? Did I use the research appropriately and make the right decision? Good deal? On that note, I obviously had to pony up for the IF--I would''ve MUCH rather preferred a VS stone but I''ve been looking for MONTHS, and high quality, colorless 1.5 ct Princesses are near-impossible to find. Not to mention that the ACA Princesses were just launched (I think I''m one of the first buyers) so not a huge inventory there either... (That said, I did receive a slight discount but I promised not to disclose the final price.
)
Brian and company are hard at work with a setting--will post when the project is completed.
Thanks again, Pricescope!!!
