so is the diamond a keeper ?

another option is to have WF send you a 2 ct ACA and compare it with the new diamond ,then keep the one you like best .

I like this idea - I think it's what MGR was getting at too. Ultimately you've got to be completely happy with your choice - 20k is just too much money to spend on something you're not completely sure about, whether your hesitations are practical or "mind clean"! I think WF will ship to an independent appraiser if you don't want to have it shipped directly to you, something to ask about.

It can be hard to separate the difference size makes - *you* know that a 2.6ct and a 1.3ct with the same proportions will look different and perform quite differently but for others who just see 'sparkly' those distinctions might not mean anything... The ACA is ~0.4mm smaller than the JA - visible but presumably more helpful than comparing to your current stone!

ETA: I'm sure you already know this but please be super careful toting it around with you to the mall and whatnot, I don't even want to think about it getting lost or damaged whilst in your possession uninsured

Thanks Yssie. I think I love the diamond and have almost decided to keep it as it is eye clean to me and is beautiful in person and will make my final decision after I take it to Martin Fuller this Saturday to get appraised. I want to know if the feathers on the girdle are a durability risk other wise I am okay with the slight leakage which honestly I cannot see with my eyes.

I think so. I made a video of the diamond with my ACA. Check it out...

I am thinking about Vatche U-113 to showcase the diamond more. I am going to ship it off to IDJ once I decide to keep the stone.

Sounds like the Vatche will look amazing! Love the solitaire look especially with that size stone and your wedding band! Looked great in the tension setting video so it will look amazing once set!

Great choice ! the diamond will be the star of the show .

You're doing your homework, you're taking your time living with the stone, you're having it professionally evaluated - there's just no way to make the wrong decision here!! If you decide to keep it after the appraisal then it'll be the PERFECT stone for you, and I'm thrilled for you

I like the idea of the Vatche a lot!!

I think this stone is beautiful!!! KEEP!

I think it will look stunning in that setting! I've heard of people that own that setting walking into Tiffany's and having the sales reps thinking that's their ring! But it definitely is the perfect setting for a stone that size!

You are taking all the right steps. The appraiser will answer the remaining questions! And as you know, I do love the Vatche U-113!

It looks fantastic in the video! I think you will be very happy!
(I would love to see another video of it, move slower, my old eyes can't follow fast! LOL)
I hope the appraisal seals the deal, can't wait to see it set!
