Q&A: Sometimes You Don’t Need My Help! Guy Looking for 1.50 Emerald Cut Diamond Nails it on First Try.

It’s rare, but I really love when I get emails from good people like you. I really appreciate your concern regarding my compensation. It’s very kind of you. If you’d like to understand the whole thing a bit better, take a look at the article on my site, “truth about Diamonds.Pro”

I took a look at the diamond – it looks great. To answer your question, a VS2 on an emerald cut is most definitely not a given to be eye clean. But by the look of the inclusion plot on the cert, it looks very likely that it will be eye clean. It’s a feather on the edge of the stone, which is the best place for an inclusion on an emerald.

The L/W ratio is perfect as is the depth and table. So this should really be a winner. You should ask JA to put it on hold while the photo is on the way.

I did take another look through their inventory, and this stone is far and away the best choice for the price range.

As for my commission, if you’ve already clicked on any links from my site to James Allen, then the tracking should already be set. If not, you can click on this link to set it in place:

But even if you don’t click on that link, there’s a fail-safe measure that is my coupon. If you make sure to use the TAD0611 coupon code (which will give you 10% off the setting), then even if the tracking doesn’t work, they’ll award me the commission after the fact.

Thanks again for your generosity! Please send me the picture when it comes through.

Hey XXXX. Yeah, that’s a great price for that stone!

…….

You know what. I was just thinking – since I saw nothing else even close to this for the price, I think it might be a good idea for you to just order the stone. When JA holds a stone, theres still a chance it can get sold out from underneath you (i’ve seen it happen a few times). JA doesn’t own most of the stones they sell. So there’s only so much they can control. You can always return it if you don’t like it, but based on everything I’ve seen, I put the odds of this one turning out to be a dud at close to zero.

I know that technically, I’m biased, and you should definitely take that into account when making your decision, but I really do feel that this is your best move. I’ve helped many people in the past who regret hesitating only to see the stone that they first wanted disappear.

There’s really no better picture than your own two eyes. Maximum, you loose 20-30 bucks on the shipping back to them.

That’s true too. I forgot that it’d be held up for a week or two because you’re having it set. So you won’t even have to resort to that.

Just order it, and write in the notes/comments section (if there is such a thing), that before they start the work setting the stone, they should send you a picture of it just to confirm.

No, you won’t notice a difference. It’s too close for there to be any kind of contrast.

My pleasure! I look forward to seeing the pic.

Hi XXXXX. Those are two very small extra facets. It’s very common. You almost certainly won’t notice anything out of the ordinary. The picture will show us for certain.

That picture is pretty awful, unfortunately.  But she did confirm that it’s eye clean, so that’s the most important thing.
