How Does This SI2 Stone K Look?

[Stive85]

So, spoke to my wife about the j's I had selected with some help yesterday. She quite likes the warmth for studs and asked to see some k's.

I'm waiting for the stones I posted here to come off of hold so I can add them to my setting. In meantime we got looking.

This one looked good. Closer to 60/60, but looks decent. Especially for an si2. Great price so I'm cautious for sure. The clouds don't seem to impact it?

Any thoughts? Can anyone see a similiar size stone that would pair with it?

Thanks!

Hello, Stive85.
SI2 with clouds as the primary reason for the clarity is something that should be approaching extremely carefully.

How does this one look at as alternative?

Thanks Deja! I agree the clouds are iffy in an si2. The visual didn't look hazy! But the price suggest sometimes up correct? I mean diamonds are a perfect example of get what you pay for 95 percent of the time.

Thanks for you suggestions. I haven't bought from either retailer before. Being in Canada I am open to any legit shop, but think it'd be easiest if I bought both stones from same dealer.

I wish idj had a better website for looking through their stones. I've contacted them today (they're off) but not anticipate too quick of a reply..

Do you see both these stones as great options... The k's will be set in white gold.. So top cut is imperative.

Thanks again for taking time to reply.

You're very welcome!
Just a clarification: the links that I posted are for the same diamond. Ritani doesn't have the video linked, but Brilliance does.
You can notate the grading report number and check with other retailers to see if they have access to it in their supply chain, if you'd like to investigate it further.

 

[Stive85]

Haha I saw that not long after I replied..

Thanks again. Looks good.. I'll have to inquire with idj and then JA as to whether they can source it.

I wondered why JA has blocked all their report numbers.. Makes sense now!

 

[Stive85]

Anyone else have any good 50 pointer k finds? I've forward Deja's recommendation to JA and idj we'll see if I hear back.

Can anyone see the clouds on the si2 I posted?

Thanks!

The reason I am primarily looking at JA is the international aspect of the shipping and the ease of search etc. I've found a couple more I'll have to post here to see what you think. Haha.. I promise I'm not being difficult! Haha.. Half the fun is search/deals hahah.

What's your max budget (USD, not including taxes/import) for JA/Blue Nile?

What's your max budget (USD, not including taxes/import) for JA/Blue Nile?

No set budget, but for casual studs I was thinking between $600-650 USD... But twist my arm. I'm not looking to sacrifice on cut, so doesn't need to meet any certain weight. Just buying loose and will have my jeweler here in the great white north set them.

 

[Stive85]

Also looking at Blue Nile.

What about this @DejaWiz ?

60/60 so faces up a bit bigger.. Would it ok with the 55 pointer I posted from blue Nile? Finding it hard to find a proper match for thag one.

The crystal in the table is gross. But looks small enough to not be seen without a loupe?

Optics look decent enough.
The inclusion may be visible at closer viewing distances, but not sure how critical it would be for an earring.

Thanks! Ya it looks good, but I think that Crystal would bother me if not eye clean. Inquiring.

Sorry for the questions.. Having a hard time finding a good match for the blue Nile one thay meets the ideal perimeters.

Appreciate your help.
