is it being sold as h&a?

IS looks good but if h&a is claimed you need heart images.

 

[mishamish]

This is not being sold as h&a. Do the stats/IS/price match up ok? Brutal honesty is welcome...

Should i ask for some sort of additional image?

 

[JulieN]

No, you don''t need extra images.

It''s gorgeous.

 

[MissGotRocks]

[Kelli]

looks good then :}
I wanted to check if it was being sold as h&a because it is clearly not.
It is however a very well performing diamond that should please its owner.

Great, thanks so much for all the feedback!!!

Two more quick questions:

1. Is the $7.5k pricetag a good value for the stats this diamond has?

2. Since i''m not exactly what you''d call a "jewlery expert", i was hoping that the ladies can confirm whether or not they think my setting selection compliments the stone nicely (picture uploaded below).

Thanks again to everyone on this forum, my entire hunt from day 1 was an amazing process because i found PS. The amount of knowledge and helpful advice on this forum is amazing and i''m very grateful for all the feedback everyone has given me!!

I forgot to add one thing.... 4 prong vs 6 prong - any thoughts?

Yes, JA has some very good prices among the vendors.

And your (great size) stone would look lovely in that setting.

That's more personal than anything, try doing a search.

ETA On that setting, I think 4 would flow better. Is there actually a choice?

I love the setting and the amount of prongs is a personal preference.

And we are glad to help!

There is a prong choice, but i think i agree with you and do like the 4 prong better - does the 6 prong hold the diamond more securely, or is it just a looks thing?

Some believe 6 prongs are more secure and make the diamond look rounder, others prefer 4 prongs as they feel this showcases the diamond better.

Everything looks great! She''ll be thrilled!

The experts on here have said, if well made, 4 is just as secure. The key is "well made".
