So I jumped the gun and put a deposit down on a diamond below after I spoke with the Grace and after I had some unsuccessful attempts at some local jewelers. Over the past two weeks I have read about crown and pavilion angles, the HCA tool, idealscope, GIA vs AGS, diamond cut, ASET, Idealscope, etcetera (didn’t want to list them all) and after all through the reading I felt that I was educated enough to put down a deposit on the diamond below.
However, after searching for the setting at different jewelers here in town (Diamonds Direct, Jared’s, and about 4 more locally owned jewelry shops around town) more than half wanted to see the diamond that I chose and either tried to upsell me or make me feel bad about my choice of diamond. So after it happened at the first store I just decided to show them the pics just to see what other vendors and sales reps may say about the diamond I had as my choice.
Ultimately, this past weekend has been a storm of emotions because I feel like I don’t know who to trust anymore and this whole experience has made me second guess my choice. I hope to turn to you guys for help!! Please tell me that my choice wasn’t as bad as they’re making it out to be. I know that I may have chosen quickly but I jumped at this opportunity because my gf saw the BGD Blue video on his website and thought that the diamond fluorescence was awesome.
Here is the link below, the pictures and short videos are on her website as well. Please let me know your opinions I would greatly appreciate it! I just hope I made a good choice because all in all I just want to make this girl happy ☺
I chose to do business with jewelsbygrace because of the positive reviews and reputation she has built through these forums and also looking her up on the internet. Also, I spoke with her personally and she said nothing but good things about this diamond as well!
Here are the stats: (more info and pics on the website)
2.51 carat BGD Blue
AGS 000, J, Si1
Table: 54.9
Crown Angle: 34.7
Pavillion Angle: 40.8
Total Depth: 61.8
HCA Score: 1.5
AGSL image is on the certificate on the website btw

My overall goal was to find the biggest round I could in my price range ($20k) with a great cut and sacrificing in color and clarity. I also wanted an eye-clean diamond and if it had SBF I wanted it to have no milkiness or haziness (Grace assured me of no milkiness or haziness and she said that the crystal near the middle is barely discernible and doesn't take away from the performance either).
Thank you so much everybody for your opinions and time.
