Any thoughts on which of the following would be good...
Looking at a few stones.
1st:
AGS, 1.082ct, Ideal cut, Color F, VS2, 3.3 on Holloway Cut Advisor....$7,580.
2nd:
GIA Cert, 1.09ct, Color F, SI2, dont know HCA (61.8 depth, 58 table)..white inclusions...$6700
3rd:
GIA cert, 1.02ct, Color F, dont know dimensions yet...''good'' symmetry, ''very good'' polish. New GIA reports dont give cut rating. Going to see tomorrow...$8,000.
My budget is 8,000. NOW, I could go with goodoldgold.com and get a stone with more inclusions, G color, Ideal cut and with a much better HCA score, 1-2, but dont know what to choose. Local stones with bad HCA scores and better C''s or worse C''s and much better HCA.
I want a stone with lots of fire but dont know if online hassle is worth it. I need this done in 9 days!
