JA True Hearts
1.23ct
6.88x6.93x4.24
depth % 61.2
table % 55.2
Flour: Med Blue
Girdle: thin-slightly thick
Crown 34.1
Crown % 15
Pavillion 40.9
Pavillion % 43.1
HCA 0.9 (Ex, Ex, Ex, VG)
I haven't gotten any addt'l info yet from the consultant on this diamond. I was originally drawn to the WF ACAs but there wasn't much selection so I started looking at JA's hearts collection. I found this one and it looked like a nice one. However, the cert is dated 2011, does that mean it might be a leftover? If so, do you know why it may not have been desirable? Maybe the med blue flour? I need to ask if it causes an oily/milky effect but the pics looks good so far.
I am going for maximum brilliance, scintillation and fire. It will be going in a 6-prong solitaire. Which do you recommend/prefer and why? Also, is there any additional information I need to be asking to help me make my decision. I'm open to other options as well, these were just the 2 that caught my eye so far.
Thanks in advance!!!
