Your thoughts on this RB 1.72 I VS2?

[Brian2]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get a few opinions on this diamond from James Allen. This one seems to keep coming up in my searches. Its about a thousand above my original budget for the center stone, but I hate to compromise on such a purchase.

Hi Brian,

The diamond shows definite potential, I would ask JA to put it on hold and get you an Idealscope image for it.

Agreed, looks good so far. As Lore suggested, an IS would be nice, but I have a feeling it will be fine.

How about this AGS 1.515ct I/VS2?

A 0.3mm drop in dimensions is hardly noticeable but it''s more in-line with your original budget. Unless of course you prefer the medium blue fluroescence to go with your I color...
