looks like a winner to me.

 

[ezwinner701]

anything else comparable at that price range for AGS?

 

[Shay37]

Wow, looks like you picked a diamond that falls within the safe range for beauty on all fronts. I like the angles. The color and clarity are also safe bets. Should be stunning. Good luck.

Is the table % a little too small?

Not sure if you would consider this comparable. It''s a 2.32 G SI1 and basically the same price.

You can see the inclusions at 40x magnification, you would have to inquire if it''s eye clean without magnification.

I''ve decided I want atleast a F color stone with VS2 or above. I didn''t see anything else from JA or WF?

Thanks guys for all the input. I''m really wanting to pull the trigger on this but is there anything that''s NOT good about the stone?

I''m still a rookie at this but from researching,does this stone have too low of a table and too high of depth?

 

[JulieN]

too much hairsplitting.

HCA<2, AGS 0. Doesn''t get better unless you start putting it under reflectors and in machines.

Do you plan to trade up? Blue Nile doesn''t allow trade-ups, I believe.

I think the table is just fine. Depth is fine too--could be just a tad lower, but it''s still good depth. Love the angles on the crown and pavilion.

No. It should be beautiful!

 

[ezwinner701]

what do you guys think about the price of this stone? I searched WF and JA, but don''t see anything similar.

 

[Ellen]

This one's close, for price comparison.
