Hello everyone,
I''m new here, and its my time to get my Ering!!!
this is my first diamond purchase ever so i''m kinda nervous and excited the same time.
I''ve heard a lot of good things about WF, so i decided to go with them for my Ering.

I''ve found three diamonds that i really like from them, but not sure which one is the winner in terms of "best value". So I need some opinions on them.

I would go with the H SI1 (confirm clean w/ WF) and save a bundle - even if you''re moderately colour sensitive an H will look white at this size. VVS is definitely overkill unless very high clarity is specifically important to you.

 

[kugie]

thank you yssie, your cat is really cute!!!!!

 

[yssie]

aww thanks, I think so too

For such a small difference in price over the H, I would get the F SI1. Although it is true that the H will not show tint, except perhaps in the most critical lighting environements, there is an icy quality to an F color diamond that really cannot be beat. The optics are just different with the colorless range. I have a high G, and I adore the color (have also owned a J and a K).

Of course, you need to decide for yourself. Have you seen diamonds in person to determine your own color preferences?

 

[kugie]

I've only seen a J in person. it was the ring my bf proposed with lol.
i'll definitely ask them if the SI1s are eyeclean first thing tomorrow.
I know cut is the most important c.... but not sure about the rest...
i'll see what they say tomorrow....hmmm

thank you dreamer!!!

 

[kugie]

oh, and do you guys know if AGS cert diamonds are supposed to be more expensive than GIA diamonds?
and also, do you guys know if i can request to see all three diamonds, and who pays for the shipping?

 

[Dreamer_D]

AGS usually commands a higher price than GIA.

WF pays the shipping sending you something once. My guess is that you would pay all the rest (for any returns and any stones other than the ones you do not buy)

 

[kugie]

thank you dreamer!!!i just noticed you have two lovely duchshunds!!!
animal lovers have good hearts to help out people

If the F SI1 is eye clean I''d pick that one.

We have an H and I can see color in it because I''m used to wearing an F.

 

[kenny]

If you have the credit limit buy all 3 and return two.
You will end up paying for the shipping of what you don''t buy.

I did this with Whiteflash and they did honor their return policy, which you should read carefully.
