Hey Guys,
Its been a while. I had such a good experience here when buying my emerald cut (Thanks again everyone!! I love the diamond and am very happily married!!) that I have recommended my friend to check out this forum, for he is searching for a princess cut. He is planning on going 1.5 - 2.0 carats
so this advice is paramount.
I have sent him links to some of the primers and threads here, but have none seem a thread encompassing all you need to look for. I know fancy cuts are tricky in this respect. However, I know such things like being careful to look for imperfections at cornersand not getting anything under a medium girdle (to safeguard against chips) and concentrating on light return vs proportions are important. I know color is not as important as in my emerald cut, but I don''t know how low he can go before you start seeing that tinge of yellow. Could it b an H color or should he stick to a F or even lower? Inclusions are not as noticeable on a princess cut so I told him that he should not was his money on anything better than a vvs2 (preferably going with a eye clean VS2), for wear and tear will bring it lower than that rather quickly anyway, but maybe I am wrong here.
If anyone can contribute any information that you find important I would greatly appreciate it. This includes any links to other threads I may have missed or articles on the web.
INCULCATE ME!
Kind Regards,
Mario
