Trying to get value

A little late to this thread, but as far as clarity goes I like at least one identifying inclusion and normally go for a VVS2 to VS1.

May i ask why? Because of a price drop?

I imagine to enable easier identification of the stone in a 'worst case scenario' featuring theft or loss.
 
It should be engraved with a serial number, so I think that's a moot point. But of course, it's harder to read the engraving than it is to see some inclusions.
 
Congrats on your first diamond purchase!! Really hoping it turns out beautiful and sparkly in real life =)2
 
Where are you in Canada?? I can refer you to wholesaler in Vancouver

It is engraved with the GIA #
 
Yes. It should say so at the bottom of your GIA report.

Of course, I think you need like a 30x loupe or microscope to read it. I can just barely make out some lettering on the fiance's ring with a 10x loupe, but can't ready any numbers.

LOL!
I was trying to do the same thing so I could PM you about this.

I went to your personal page. I wonder if we have to follow each other first :lol-2:
 
Maybe someone can help us out
 
You can't PM on PS. A lot of folks post a message on the LoupeTroop with an email and their PS name to get in direct contact.

That's good to know!
Thanks for that advice!
Princessk, I'm on loupetroop. I'm tfc_diamondlvr on loupetroop as well.
Maybe we can figure something out that way :)
 
OK going over there
 
Well i received the diamond.
I must say ... Wow!!

Compared to the diamonds the dealers have showed me, there is quite the difference. The white sparkles this diamond lets go are amazing.

As far as fire go, I was reading online. You require more light am I correct?

If I put my cellphone light near the diamond, the colors are unbelievable. But under normal conditions i dont see much fire. I am inside my house since it has been raining for two days.

I ordered a Idealscope since I am having so much fun. Unfortunately it won't be here until roughly 3-4 days.
 
Good to hear you're happy with your purchase :) I lost track - which stone did you buy?

It is true that you need certain lighting conditions to maximise fire - the flat lighting that you can get indoors on overcast days really does very little to show off a diamond, other than show if it's still looking white from edge to edge.

Do you have spotlights / downlighters in the house? Multiple small light sources give the best conditions for producing fire, as I understand it. Certainly, my good lady's ring looks best in such lights!

Post up some pictures perhaps :) Or, even better, a couple of videos in different lights!

I purchased the one in the original post. From Bluenile.


For pictures, I'll see what I can do
 
Very difficult to see in this picture. but seems like I am getting a lot of leakage. opinion?

No, I don’t think it’s got a lot of leakage. A tiny bit, yes, but still a good stone. That plus your own eyes being fond of it sounds like it’s a good choice. Congrats!
Please feel free to post other photos; I mean none of us seem to tire with looking at diamonds!
 
It appears the stone is ever so slightly tilted. Not leakage. It looks solid. How bout actual pics of the stone (those scopes are fun!!!)?

As for fire, I find my stones show the best fire in places like Walmart, Costco., Home Depot, and elevators.
