What should I choose F or I color with Medium Blue Fluor

[cachia85]

I see that it got 1.8 on HCA with EX-VG-VG-VG, do you think it only gets VG at Fire and Scintillation? The proportions also don't fall in AGS candiate range. I also read some very nice comments about Isee2.

Another stone I am considering is 0.57 E SI1 Blue Nile Signature $1522, it scores better on HCA (Ex-Ex-Ex-VG) and falls in AGS candidate range. But then it is a little bit smaller and more expensive.

Which one do you think better?

Do not use HCA as a selection tool, it is a rejection tool.

There is some slight leakage in the Signature Ideal stone. Look at the optical brilliance analysis chart, some color under the table, usually these are not present.

Does the ISee2 stone have an idealscope image?

No, it doesn't. I asked but the vendor doesn't have it, it's a virtual stone. And about the leakage, is it very bad? So the BN Signature is not very nice I wanted to choose BN Signature to be sure it gonna be nice but now it has abnormal leakage .

 

[stone-cold11]

Very minor, probably not noticeable but just not to the same standard as most other Signature Ideal.

Thank you Stone-cold11, if so I decided to go with it, the price difference is not huge and I don't want to go through the hassle with tax refund etc. You are so kind to answer my every silly question!

Good luck deciding. :p
