I''m not particularly concerned with the white areas. My question is more about the overall color of the IS images. The J is a darker red, while the I is a lighter pink. Does this impact the performance (i.e. will the I sparkle less)?
Yes he is, I am sure you will enjoy speaking with him!Date: 12/9/2008 1:29:52 PM

I spoke w/ Brian last night, he was very pleasant to speak with. So my #1 concern (the difference in shade of pink in the IS images) is a non-issue, as you guys suspected. It''s just the IS settings that vary and cause the difference in the light pink vs bold pink overall colors. So that''s great news. Brian did go over all the pros of the ACA (the J) over the diamond I am looking at (the I), but he said at the start, he has a bias for the ACA, being the creator of it. Unfortunately he was just looking at the pictures, not the diamond in person as I hoped, and I think the stuff he pointed out may be important to someone like him, but not to an average person. I also realize that he is going to try and push his proprietary stone, since a) it''s his creation and b) WF makes a much larger margin on it. So I took his comments with a grain of salt, but it was great to speak with him nonetheless. It says volumes about WF as a company when one of the founders is ready to speak with a random customer at the drop of the hat.
SOOO.... I think for my purposes, the I is the way to go. It''s still an AGS0, faces up the same size, and is $3000 cheaper. I''ll get it sent out to evaluate/appraise, and if it turns out to be a total dud in person for some reason, I can always send it back. Thanks for all your help guys!
I don''t know if I''d go that far, I have seen them recommend ES stones over ACA. But at any rate, I''m glad you got to speak with him, and have made a decision you seem happy with! Please let us know how it goes, and we''re glad we could help.Date: 12/10/2008 9:42:17 AM
