Hi Dewailer! I remember your other princess thread, but I thought you were looking for 1-1.05ct. Did your budget go down? It was $5000 in your other thread.

Anyway, let''s start with the 2 WF stones. They both could be worth calling in, but there''s not much more we can say without pictures.

Moving on to the JA rocks, I think the 0.85 G/VS1 could be worth an extra look. To be honest, I think there''s too much leakage in the center of the others. The others all seem to have a lighter kite-shaped pattern in the center that represents leakage. It''s hard to say if the 0.85 would make the cut or not for me, because the pic is blurry and possibly tilted. But it is worth further evaluation.
 
If your budget is now in the $2000-3000 range, I''d consider all of these:

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/4811/ - and to answer the question I missed from your other thread, an I in a well cut princess will face up white. You may catch a hint of color in the side view under dim indoor lighting (I do from time to time). But face up, it''s all white.

WF and GOG have made my job easy here...lots of great princesses under $3k!
 
Ditto Jstar.
 
I decided to lower the size stone to get the quality and cut that I really desire and can afford. Maybe in a few years I''ll upgrade to my true desired size 1.00-1.05. I thank you guys so much for the wealth of information that I''ve been able to find here. I''ve learned so much from reading through the different posts it''s unbelievable. I''ll look at the ones suggested right away. We hope to be able to make a purchase in the next week or two which will be after my anniversary...but that''s ok. Thanks again....
 
In that case, definitely check out the ones at GOG and WF. Those stones will beat the pants off most commercial quality princesses. In addition, those stores have the most liberal upgrade policies, and they''re all branded ideal cuts. If you''re concerned at all about color, stick with one of the H stones and it shouldn''t show. Let us know which one you choose (and if you need any more help)!
 
Thanks, I ''ll try and get some pictures!
 
Hi,

I''ve attached the IS of the stone...I hope it comes out ok. What do you guys think?

Nice image, not cut to top standards but could be a good looking Princess.
