There are a couple of possibilities for me at WF, and I need to decide very soon. I need to know if you could tell the difference in the classic vs. new line and which you personally preferred. I called about 3-4 stones today and was told that the best performing stone of those was the classic.
Also, if anyone has input regarding numbers, I'd appreciate hearing from you, too! My goal is G VS1, around 1.3-1.4 cts., 7.1-7.2 mm diameter (realizing I can't find those exact specs at the moment).
Two new lines:
#1) 1.278 H VS1 (ACA) 7.04 x 7.06 mm, d- 60.7%, t- 55.2%, ca- 34.8, pa- 40.7, HCA: 1.0
#2) 1.26 G VS1 (ACA) 7.0 x 7.03 mm, 60.9%, 54.7%, 34.9, 40.8, HCA: 1.5
Two classics:
#3) 1.31 G VVS2 (ES) 7.13 x 7.15 mm, 60.6%, 55%, 34.7, 40.8, HCA: 1.2 (AGS0 for light performance)
(my confusion with this stone is that the cert says girdle .8-3.4, but the Sarin says .8-1.3/thin to medium)
I am wondering why this stone did not make ACA. It is not much less than the next stone which is ACA.
#4) 1.32 G VVS2 (ACA) 7.08-7.10mm, 61%, 55.7%, 34.4, 40.6 HCA: .6 (older AGS cert with no light performance)
These stones have a $3500 price difference from lowest to highest (!!!), so I need to really understand if there are any significant differences in them...any to eliminate at all. I really didn't want to pay for VVS, but I am not finding many in VS1.
Dimend Scassi also has a couple of nice E VS2's that are the right size, but that is paying for a higher color and lower clarity than I want.
Thanks!
