Reading Blue Nile Reports

[franklin11]

Hey there,

I have noticed that the Whiteflash reports and scope views are set up in a way that you can really see things.

I began looking through the stones on Blue Nile site this evening as I would like to have a stone ordered by this weekend.

Here are 3 that I looked at on Blue Nile and am not too sure if these are good choices because I dont know how to compare them to the White flash site?

please let me know what you think?

I am essentially looking now for a

.75 - 1.00ct
F, G
vvs2 or slightly lower
Ideal/Excellent Cut

...and in the $5-6,000 range...( I know that kinda puts me at the lower weight category) so if anyone out there would like to also recommend any others they have found or come across it would be greatly appriciated. Here are the settings that I have also narrowed it down to as the initial Alex Sepkus just was''nt going to work out.

all the stones look good from the numbers. I would go with the the 0.91c G VS1.

Good Evening Stone...Thanks as always, but could you give me a little more explanation as to why you would go with that one? any further info would be super helpful at easing my mind

Cheers Erik

much bigger than the rest and you will not notice the difference in clarity so if they are about the same price, why not?

ok I got ya! Thanks

Also, I am really nervous about the stone really having that sparkle...

According the the numbers, is that one within the parameters you generally should be looking for?

They don''t have the Ideal Scope to look at unless that is what the little colored image is on the GIA report is?

Gonna keep the thanks a coming at ya!

Cheers,
Erik

Hi Erik

Lets take a look for you....

I like the first and the third, the first has good numbers and is the largest, the third also has excellent numbers - both are of excellent quality so it depends on your preference if you would rather go larger or get a higher colour and clarity grade.

Yap, these are all within the parameters one should be looking at.

The GCAL image is roughly the same apparently, but they use it differently, as a means to check optical symm. From this thread. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/gcal-on-a-gabrielle.134011/
