Plugged a few diamonds found on http://www.exceldiamonds.com/ into some calculator, asked on the PriceScope forum for the top picks then emailed the jeweler and he picked the best one, shipped to PA, tax free as he is in NY, Saved $3K+ in taxes. You need to either see the diamond or trust the jeweler because I found one that sounded great on paper but a less scored diamond looked better to the eyes.

Tool used: http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca

I wanted a diamond that sparkled at restaurants so the guys on the forum told me to find excellent scintillation.

Cut: Ideal (AGS: Ideal Light, Ideal Polish, Ideal Symmetry)
Colour: H (not that white)
Clarity: VS2 as appraised (AGS: SI1)

I cheaped out on colour and clarity but it still gets lots of compliments.

yup, same method here. cut is the main thing and like i mentioned earlier, when you SEE it in front of you (vs. other stones next to it), you'll know which is it you want...even if you have to drop a bit more coin, it's worth it.

Nice nice ...awesome advice.

Hearing a lot on even the setting of the ring is a big deal. Need to know someone who can set it well so it shines properly?
