Whiteflash Diamond - Need Advice :)

[Charlize]

Am considering this one...

http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2938285.htm

What do you think of the proportion and cut?
The Idealscope and ASET images...do they look ok?
What's the difference between the "A-Cut-Above" and "Expert Selection" at Whiteflash?

Thanks much!

That is an 'Ideal cut' AGSL diamond, proportions, Idealscope, and Aset are great.

The 'A Cut Above' is their Best of the Ideal cuts and their Hearts & Arrows. That is the Whiteflash branded top of the line.

hi c-k, thanks for your response!

So..."Expert Selection" = "A Cut Below"?

More like "a buck or two below"

A side question to everyone - Do you think I could ask Whiteflash to check this stone with a colorimeter and see if it is a borderline J that got bumped up to I?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I have never heard of WF checking color. I think you'd have to see the stone yourself to determine whether the color and clarity will meet your expectations since SI can be iffy in a 3 ct stone. Or you might could have an independent appraiser check color. I know David Atlas has done this before (and all will give their estimate of color). The stone is ideal cut, so it should be excellent!

Thanks Diamondseeker! I had actually decided that I should not go lower than VS2...but seeing this stone on Whiteflash just got me all excited & hopeful somehow!

Anyway, the Whiteflash consultant whom I contacted was extremely helpful. I've been advised that the stone is not completely eye clean when viewed very upclose - which is important to me... So, I'll keep looking!

Lesson Learned for me = Do not go lower than VS2

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I'll have to say, VS2 is my personal limit as well. Great that they were totally upfront on the clarity. I like WF for being honest!

Hi Charlize, now that is funny, I would say maybe that stone is one that 'missed the cut'...

You should also look at Brian Gavin Diamonds as well as Whiteflash, both of them sell the Hearts & Arrows and BGD also has a 'blue' line that are ideals & xxx cuts....both are great companies.
