The numbers are good but I’d repeat the same advice of getting the extra images just to check. Have you increased your budget? The diamond price doesn’t seem to include VAT so will be £9k in total.

I like this one better. But TBH I’m not in love with James Allen...I bought my diamond there but don’t plan to upgrade with them. They’ve pulled certificates from their website making it hard to asses their stones, they have a bad upgrade policy and even if you filter for just True Hearts stones (their premium) and scroll through the images you’ll see a lot of poorly cut stones.

I’m not saying you can’t find something decent there but it sure isn’t easy!

For similar money I’d rather have this: yes, slightly lower colour and clarity, but a superideal cut from a fantastic company who ship internationally and will give you a good upgrade policy, should that ever be required.

Looks like a nice stone to me. Best part is you've found a stone with ideal proportions that hasn't been inflated with the "true hearts" bullshit premium. Well done

The JA stone has better color, better clarity AND lower price... makes no sense to go with WF here

I noticed some of your most recent choices pushed into the near $9k USD price. Has your budget changed?

If not, I think this is a great choice. If you don't take advantage of the wire discount, your price is $7,191 USD, which is approximately £5,844. Add 20% VAT if your sister can't get the stone back and you are sitting at £7,013.

Edit...this one sort of splits the baby...1.13 so you gain some size (Expert Selection G/SI1)
