Your opinions, what I found, using pricescope

[jockyridge]

I am getting addicted to pricescope! Please provide me with your opinion on the following:
I am using the pricescope search, clicking on prices, then clicking "search by cut".
Here are my parameters. shape round. carat .8 thru .9 cut rank excellent thru very good. color D thru E. clarity IF thru VVs2. Include AGS. Include H&A. Include all labs. Price limited to $5500.
I''d like to know which diamond you prefer and why. I''m leaning towards the .821.
Thank you so much!

Is there any reason why you are looking at only VVS clarity. if you go down on clarity to a eye clean stone you can go up on carat while keeping everything the same.

 

[yssie]

Wow, that's a lot.

Let's see.

Can't narrow it down much without images.

ETA: can you narrow it down more by vendor? Some have better upgrade/trade/buyback policies than others, locations, etc..

 

[Dreamer_D]

If you will please narrow it down we can help you. Its a lot to go through.

 

[jockyridge]

You guys are great, thank you for the help. Carat is the least important criteria in this situation. Here is the narrowed down list of 5 diamonds:

All five look nice

WF has a better upgrade policy, but they''re probably a little pricier.


You want hearts images for all the stones if they''re being sold as H&A - WF should post pics for the ACAs online, you may have to request them from JA.
