Looks like I might be able to upgrade my ACA soon and I found a beautiful Expert Selection from Whiteflash that I think fits the bill. I asked why it was not an ACA and was told it was purely because of the flourescence, which for me is actually something I like the idea of, espcially because it's something that's unique to natural diamonds (from what I know). @DejaWiz if you are around I would love to hear your thoughts, you always give the best advice!! Also @Garry H (Cut Nut) we have chatted in the past about my fear of that darkening effect that can happen (that gif of the girl putting the ring closer to her face and it become darker if that rings a bell?) would love to hear your thoughts on how this one might compare to my current one
This is the little beauty:
and this is my original diamond:
With the stats being slightly different, would the overall look of the diamond be very different to my original one? I absolutely adore my diamond and would purely want something a bit bigger so I would prefer that they be similar "flavors" if you will. Am I on the right track?
Also am I naive to think the flourescence really won't be an issue?
One final note, is it odd that I worry about a GIA instead of an AGS diamond? I know they have merged now but for some reason the GIA grading feels like a step down, am I crazy for feeling this way?
I really would prefer to stay under $7k for the diamond and as big as possible, which is why this one really appeals to me, but at the same time if its not a great choice I am more than happy to know that as well and wait for something better. Brutal honestly will be greatly appreciated
