did you look at these stones? which one do you like?

My GF says they are all eye clean and is leaning towards the first one at 1.30 ct but there is a small inclusion on the table which prevents her from loving it. I like the 1.37ct because of the numbers, which she is OK with. The jeweler is pushing the 1.29ct.

So I was wondering if anyone had an opinion to share, that would be great.

like the numbers on 1. 2 could work too, buy your own IS and have a look. #3 is not my personal preference of combination, but you may feel differently.



forget about what the jeweller says about "below rap" - if he's willing to sell for 5 below, it's because either you are a celebrity who will make him famous or because the diamond is only worth "5 below" - he's definitely not going to take a loss on your behalf because he likes you. That's just reality.

that means his cost is probably 20% back of Rap.

What''s the biggest thing I should look for when deciding b/t 1 & 2?

Should I ask him to bring more to the lineup? Thanks!

 

[yssie]

what is "premium" symmetry? This is not a GIA term. Do you have a hearts image to back up the H&A inscription on the first stone?

See if you can view them away from any bright store lighting to see how they behave in plain daylight, this could give you a better idea.
