Long time lurker, first time poster. I''m staring down the barrel of my engagement deadline, and have to make a purchase in the next 2 weeks or so. I think I''ve found a good diamond, but am slightly concerned about a few things.
It is a GIA 1.25ct VS2 round, I color, excellent cut with strong blue fluor. It meets my budgetary requirements. However, the HCA score is 2.7, which is kind of high from what I''ve been reading. I have an idealscope image that I will attach when able - I keep getting an error message currently. I''m a little worried that the I with strong blue flour may just be a J that the flour masked. I really would like more of an H color (but at an I price) which is why I went for the I with the fluor. I''ve been told the stone has no milkiness.
Specs:
Depth: 62.5%
Table: 54%
Crown: 35.5 deg
Pav: 40.8 deg
no cutlet
thin-med faceted
lower half has 75% on the cert
Is this still a good diamond?
Otherwise,
I have seen one other virutal stone that I like that has the following specs, and an HCA of 1.1!! But the cut is only very good! Are the crown angles too shallow, or could this be an even better stone? I''m going to try and obtain an idealscope on this one too, but it may be more difficult:
Depth: 60%
Table: 59%
Crown: 33%
Pav: 40.8 deg
no cutlet
med girdle
star length 50%
lower half is 80%
Thanks everyone. I''m sweating bullets as the time approaches!
