Yet another Round Brilliant - Is this the one?

[soon-to-wed]

Can this forum once again show off some of it''s magic? I went to the Los Angeles Downtown jewlery district and one of the stores knocked me off my feet. But no decision is made without going through Pricescope...let''s be honest. So if you can just spend just a minute for this amateur and tell me what you think of the diamond/deal. You guys/gals are the best. See below.

I think she meant, is it GIA? Did you put those numbers through the HCA? Look above under Tools, then Cut advisor.

Have you done a search under Diamond Cut Quality here? There are many diamonds through online vendors that give you a lot more bang for the buck!

Here''s one from Whiteflash that will knock her socks off:

1.68 ACA I SI1

 

[Jelly]

1.728 Expert Selection J SI1

A lot of women go for size. This one will face up very white and lots of the ladies here love our SI stones. Something to consider.

Thanks Jelly. I''ll take a look. Anyone else with thoughts on this diamond. Good price? Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Soon,

Hard to do a direct comparison with on-line options...even if you wanted to. But generally, trying to compare that one to this one, not still available, but formerly available at JA, who tends to be dirt cheap, you are not paying a substantial premium to come home with an option you have seen, and at a store you can go back to.

Seems encouraging.
