Need help deciding between two GCAL 8x Lab Rounds for Tulip Setting

[Sunshine812]

Guten Morgen!
I'm here...I'll be in for about 30-40 mins, then I'm taking my wife to breakfast after we drop off her pickup for an oil change.

Good morning, you must be German?
Real quick send and then delete and then I’ll explain, ok

A little German, generically...but spend almost 9 years of my childhood growing up there as an Army brat.

15 diamonds total on the new list.
What can I help you with - just looking to make a short list of 4-5, or did you have specific questions about any of them?

Thank you! From all the “lists” this is what it worked out to. Some where unavailable and some where not cost efficient. I added a couple. Just like to know what you think of these and narrow it down to 4-5. You can give me a list like this

Y
N
Great
Too grainy
My Favorite
ETC

(I’ll know how to follow it)

Thanks
Let me know if you have any questions

Any of the first 5.
5950 maybe, but may have slight pavilion twist.
All others have cut precision problems and/or diamond material quality issues, in my opinion.

Wow, that was fast! Thank you! Just to make sure, any of the top five, not anyone better than the other. There are 2 with the numbers we discussed. Just making sure if you were picking one out for the wifey, would you pick from the five or look at others?

What is your personal ordering of those five based on which ones your eyes seem to be drawn towards the most?

Do you look at the 360 scope only to see if you see anything and if it catches your eye? The diamond turns in circles and its pretty sparkly, but i guess I dont know really what I’m looking for. Sorry. Tell me by looking at one of the ones you didnt like or that had issues compared to an ideal, please, you can use 7143.

If you want to play it ultra-safe, then pick out one of the diamonds that has proportions and angles at or closest to 40.8/34.5/56 from the list of 5.
I'd choose either the 3.08 F or the 3.12 E

Choose one that has those angles for my selection? Or to review?

He woke up around 5am and his fever was back. Not as high as 102.5 yesterday morning, but enough to warrant another dose of Ibuprofen.
He's on the couch in our front room watching TV, which is a good step since we hadn't been able to tolerate so much as regular daylight too well the past two days and ended up hanging blankets on the curtain rods in his room to block out as much light as possible.
Jeez, I am one tired papa!

Good morning, hope your little one is feeling/doing better.

Well guess what, the 3.19 was already purchased when LGD tried “securing” it. Someone or one(s) on here must follow you and swipe it at one of those companies, Ritani or something before LGD can. Cause why else is it available, and we discuss it, its avail, then it gets purchased at the same time I’m trying to purchase? Once I could possibly understand, but twice, no way. I’m so bummed!!!

Diamonds are moving quick because of Valentine's Day, it seems. Bummer that it's happened twice!

Thanks, do you think i should try once more? 3.12?

If you're under a planned deadline, yes.
If you can afford to wait, then maybe pick back up about a week after Valentine's Day and see what supply and pricing is like.

Sounds like a plan! Let me know if you see anything between now and then that would be phenomenal, lol!
