I’ve been looking at stones and found this one, but I have no idea if it’ll look good. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The main issue with the stone you sent is that it’s cut too deeply. In our experience, stones with depth up to 62.6% and table between 54% and 59% return light with the most brilliance.
Can you also tell me what style of setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other) and metal (platinum/white or yellow gold) you’re going to use? Then I’ll be happy to send you my suggestions.
Thank you so much for the response! Everything you said makes sense.
I am going to be getting a 5 stone ring in white gold. Here is a photo of it:
My goal is 1 carat (plus or minus a little if need be) and round cut.
……
Oh! I also forgot to mention that I’d like to have it be around $4,000 (+/-) if possible. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for the information.
I found this diamond for you:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2377457?a_aid=dmnd1357
It’s very well cut, eye-clean and it’s going to look colorless in the style of setting you like: https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/.
Here’s one more option from Blue Nile:
Blue Nile LD07160753
What do you think?
Thank you for the options! I’d prefer an H with no fluorescence.
If I up my budget a little bit what do you think of this one?
Blue Nile LD07549196
The overall specifications of the stone are great. But I’d like to see a real picture of this stone to make sure that the crystal is not an issue. I noticed that the diamond is not available at the moment. Did you put it on hold?
Here’s my suggestion:
Blue Nile LD07194185
As for the fluorescence, medium is fine on an H color.
What do you think of this one?
I went ahead and ordered it and then once getting the stone will decide whether to keep it or not. (Gotta love that 30 day return policy.) When I receive the stone what should I do in order to make sure there is no problem with the crystal?
Also, that other stone is beautiful! If the one I receive isn’t up to snuff then I’ll absolutely order the one you suggested.
OK, if you find the stone eye-clean, keep it.
Keep me posted.
Will do! You can expect a note from me next week. Thanks!
