Kagaya81,

it is hard to tell whether it is a good buy just base on the above information. really depend on personal preference.

From my understanding, the polish/symmetry for the brilliant rose usually very good/very good or good/good.. its seldom excellent/excellent.

To sum things up, the
brilliant rose - 66 facets, no hearts and arrows
destinee royale - 81 facets, 10 hearts and arrows
solasfera - 91 facets, 10 hearts and arrows

It's a pity that the brilliant rose and destinee royale don't have the Ideal and ASET scope to compare the light performance... cos sometimes the shops put the diamond under the strong spotlight, which can be quite biased..

Found the gemex report of the brilliant rose aka leo diamond
gemexposition.jpg

Leo Schachter Diamonds – 4 generations of master diamond artisans handcraft the world’s most brilliant diamond.

compared with the solasfera
which scores the highest for all three points

You can see the performance of the solasfera compared to other diamonds here.. but one thing about hearts and arrows diamonds is you can see the arrows burning in the diamond.. for the modified rounds with no hearts and arrows, i find their sparkles to be smaller and abit messier..


Don't forget, when a diamond hits 0.7ct, it take a price premium too...

Interesting review of the Leo Cut

The brilliant rose / leo diamond ideal scope

The solasfera ideal scope

Hmm.. had a good read...
On the Brilliant Rose Ideal scope, I notice there are light leakages in the middle and at the edges (girdle) of the diamond.. this means that it has dugged girdles and the light leakage part is going to look dull...

yes seems like a reasonable price for a D color and VVS2.
What cut did u choose?

Can ask jeweler to also show u the rap report to gauge how much premium over rap price they are charging.

Helped my friend with his proposal last night :) His gf/fiancé Bday was on Christmas.. So we had a countdown paty last night. He wrapped the ring in many boxes so it looked like a big present and gave her as a surprise. It was quite unexpected.. Haha
