WF X Factor Diamond - HELP!

[jarbatz]

Need help from experts on this diamond from WF:

http://www.whiteflash.com/xfactor/X-Factor-cut-diamond-373346.htm#

It is an expert selection but is a J and is $3400. I don''t know how to interpet ASET, Sarin and Ideal Scope. Polish/Symmety is Ex/VG. Could the cut offset the color??

The stone looks beautiful to me. The color is the unknown factor because I have never seen one of these. I have heard that princess and similar cuts may show more color than an ideal cut round, so I might be a little hesitant on a J in x-factor. However, if you have the time, you could always send for the stone and send it back if you thought it had too much of a tint. A little trouble, but at least you could be sure.

Maybe also call WF and ask them for an opinion.

I'd call WF and ask them to compare the J and those 3 K's to see the color difference. Since there aren't any I's available it's a big price jump to the next H. But it's quite a price drop to the K. The whole color thing is so personal and you can't compare these beautifully cut stones to mall stones when comparing color. WF will be honest in their assessment. Maybe they have others coming in, too.

And yes, a well cut stone can offset a lower color.
