Hi Larry,

Thanks for completing the diamond information request form at
http://www.DSOURCEVA.com

I did a preliminary search and found the following diamonds for you to
consider. There were many extremely nice diamonds at prices substantially
below your budget so I have include a longer recommendation list than usual.
This selection should help you determine what is the best value for you.

We filter out the 80 to 90% of diamonds that are cut poorly and only present
to our customers diamonds that have great cut because we know that cut is the
primary factor in a diamond's beauty, especially sparkle and fire.

With a round diamond, millimeter measurements are more important than the
actual carat weight with regard to appearance. More carat weight does not
necessarily mean more size. For example, diamonds with depth percentages
less than 60% will generally have a larger diameter, for the same carat
weight, than those with depth percentages greater than 60% even though both
diamonds could be ideal cut. While we search for diamonds in the top cut
classes, the preferred combination of depth and table percentages is a matter
of personal taste and choice. The three measurement numbers are the longest
diameter, shortest diameter, and depth in millimeters. The three letter
codes after the measurement numbers are the Polish, Symmetry and Fluorescence
ratings.

Prices in parenthesis are cash discount prices for wire transfers that are 3%
reduction from credit card prices. We need to check certification to assess
specifications marked with ? below.

I've given you a little variety to consider because you need to decide on
what your priorities are for the right diamond for you.

Which of these diamonds would you like us to order in for inspection? If
none of these is what you are looking for, what is it that you would like to
see different? The more feedback you can give us, the more effective we can
be at finding the diamond of your dreams. Remember, since we don't own these
stones, we are your personal diamonds consultants who will work to find the
very best diamond for you at a great price.

These diamonds were available as of Monday and we have copies of the
certifications that we can share with you via email at your request. High
quality, well cut diamonds like these do not stay on the market long. If you
are interested in one of these diamonds, please let us know quickly so we can
request the wholesaler put it on hold for us.

If you are looking for a really spectacular mounting, check out our favorite
manufacturer's online catalog at http://www.18karati.com where you can click
on Catalog then click on Wedding Rings to see pictures of some of the best
craftsmanship in the industry. This is a manufacturer's web site so there
are no prices listed. If you see something you like, give us the item
numbers and we will get price quotes that are a fraction of regular retail
prices. Our customers have been thrilled with the quality and beauty of
these mountings so we can highly recommend them to you.

If you have any questions about diamonds or the diamond buying process please
give Anne or me a call at the toll free number below or email us. We take
calls until about 9:00 p.m. EST since we are dealing with customers and
suppliers on the West Coast. We find that serious diamond buyers always want
to call and visit with us so that we can better understand your needs and
answer any of your questions. Email works great for shopping, but the
telephone is the better way to conduct business for such an important
purchase.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
