and this guy

Additionally, has anyone bought from Adiamore? I have found a couple different stones, with GIA certs, and good proportions that are under 2.0 on the HCA, for great prices that meet their "Affinity Cut" standard - their version of H/A I assume. I called and requested photographs, as well as an idealscope, but I was just wondering if anyone had dealt with them before?

I think without additional imagery it's hard to say. you could try giving Yekutiel the GIA numbers and see if he could call them in for you. I don't know how that works or if the other diamonds you have found are in house with someone or just being drop shipped.

Yeah, Adiamor doesn't provide pictures, which is unfortunate, because it seems they have some diamonds with real potential. Oh well.

Excel Diamonds has already promised to provide photos and idealscopes for the two diamonds that I requested, so we'll be able to see more then.

There are SO many diamonds out there, its crazy!

Yes, there are A LOT. You should just go with one that fits your requirements and jump on it.

Thanks Julie. For me it isn't that simple, only because I have at least one local vendor that is willing to stay competitive with online vendors. In fact, they agree to price match so long as I am providing the GIA certs. Right now I'm waiting to see a diamond they are shipping in from Israel. I guess what I am trying to say is that I have found a lot of stones online that fit my requirements, and I'm still waiting on a lot of those vendors to get back to me with idealscopes, etc. As long as my local vendor is willing to price match, and as long as I keep finding great deals online, I feel that I am going to end up with some great value, or at least that is the goal. There is just a lot of back and forth involved, and a lot of weeding out of diamonds that I find online.
