I have been looking for "the perfect" stone for a while. I kind of know what I am looking for. 2.6 - 3.02ct E - G color, VS2 - SI2 (eye clean) l/w of 1.06 -1.16 (I don''t like them perfectly square.) I like a smaller table and like the look of high crown angles rather then a flatter looking stone. No Culet. And of cause one with a ton of fire and brilliance!
I would rather pay for size then clarity. If you can''t tell to the naked eye whats the point?
The search has been very time consuming (almost 3 months)to say the least and I''m still not there yet.
I have a few questions I was hoping someone could help with.
1. I get the difference between a cushion brilliant and a modified brilliant. I''m not sure that I have a preference. I have seen some modified stones look very "crushed icy" and some not. Im not a fan of the very crushed ice look. What causes a modified stone to look less like crushed icey than another?
2. What is the difference between 8 pavilion mains and 4 in terms of how it effects the look of the stone?
3. I have seen 8 mains that are thick and one that are thin. What is the difference?
4. The best stone I have seen so far is one that is modified with 8 thin mains. Too bad its too small. Anyone know where to find other like that?
