Morning! I’m going to take the leap to a bigger diamond… when you have a chance could you look at these 7518128092, 6501708827, 2506224180, 677520211(wasn’t sure if I should be worried about the possible pavilion twist), or 6502364688 and tell me what would be the stand out of them all? Thank you.

0211 is not centered in front of the camera, so I don't think there's pavilion twist.
I think they are all great choices.
Which one of these are you leaning towards?
 
I do like 0211 as it’s still IGI graded. But I don’t want to sacrifice quality of stone if it’s not there.. I really do want the best I can get. 8827 has been a stand out as well as 4180.. each would be around $200 more. 677520538 was another IGI one you mentioned.

I like 0211 better than 0538 :)
Whichever diamond on your short list represents the best bang for your buck, then grab it up!
 
How do you like it compared to 8827?
 
$200. But not a big thing for something worth it in this situation.
 
okay one last one to look at if you don't mind.. 677520537 vs the 0211. Thank you

0537 also looks great - here's that 1.8x that I made mention of earlier, in case you do want to go a little bigger diameter/carat weight:

Good morning! Could you tell me what you think of LG677520204 compared to stone I purchased (LG674539269) & the 0211. I’m still on the fence with the size. Thought maybe that could be a little more middle of the road. But don’t want to sacrifice ✨

Pavilion depth is listed at a shallow 42.5° which usually will start getting into over-obstruction territory, and is definitely a concern of mine with a crown angle that is also leaning towards shallow.
 
I think this is a newer one to pop on on the list you sent me… I know it isn’t that much bigger then what I already purchased so may not be worth the consideration but was curious your thoughts on LG680525317.

Looks like a great diamond to my eyes!

Is a 7.35 to a 7.44 a very big difference?

Not really to most eyes. It usually takes a minimum of 0.20-0.25mm increase in diameter to become discernable to most people.
 
I figured. But do you think it’s more of a sparkler by any means?

Maybe, maybe not...I think it's great to have multiple pinnacle options to compare in front of your own eyes: after a couple/few days you will tell yourself which is "The One"
 
Could you tell me if LG680525317 is on loupe360?

It's not yet, but there is a video on a different diamond hosting site - it's a stunning diamond!
 
I like it.. would you give it a upper hand on
LG674539269 (what I bought)?

Not necessarily...I think they are both extremely close on proportions and angles that they'll have almost identical performance personalities.

How does it look? This is the 1.51 the initial one I ordered. It was too late to change it to a bigger one.
 
aellab I think the diamond and ring look great!
What are your thoughts?

I’m a little on the fence about the size! But I love the diamond, it’s beautiful. And I love the setting.
 
Thank you for all your help and patience. I know I’ve been all over the place. If you see anything exciting in the next week or so keep me in mind! I’m gonna keep staring at this one when I can. I have 30 days to decide. I keep thinking about the 9269 but I know there probably isn’t enough difference in size with that one.

You're very welcome - I have two in the 1.7x-1.8x carats 7.7x-7.8x millimeter diameter range already found and ready to post, if you'd like to see them.
 
Can you hang tight on recs? I think I’m going to go through David Klass in LA for a totally different setting.. I’m a little concerned with the quality of current setting.. seems just okay. I’d like to settle on a stone by weekend. Just have to wait for some free time.
 
Good morning! Before you send any recs…. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy the loose stone? Going through rarecarat they technically sourced it for me.. and price matched loosegrowndiamond which are hard to beat. But I’ve also read hit and miss things about them which makes me a little nervous. Do you have any other recommendations or personal experience? Thank you.
 
If you have a chance today and have any new recs can you keep me in mind? Please and thank you. 1.60-1.75 is probably the ideal. Does 677520211 still look good? Or is there anything new to consider?
