Gia has pa at 0.1% units? I dont remember to have seen in gia reports a 40.9 pa
40.6 pa + 35.5 ca is optimized for fire or brilliance?
Crown angle 14.5-15.5 is good?
well, i've had a new chat with the jeweller. they said that they dont think they can find a diamond to please me, probably considering i am too picky...and they have returned the money i have paid already.
Therefore, i ve got to find a new diamond dealer.
it may take longer than expected.
sadly, 77diamonds doesnt ship to my country, gotta find other ones.
Yes, i really like her diamond!
Havent checked so far any antique jewerly stores.
I will give a try, will look around for the stores.
Not sure what to do right now, was having hopes that after widening the range i ll have a good cut diamond. I am a little surprised that they dont wanna continue the search. i ll be looking for other stores.
I start to lose hope of finding a better diamond than 1 or 2.
Waiting a few more days.
Ive got back home from the jeweller.
This time, I got to talk to a woman which was super nice, taking all the time needed to search for the right diamond, we spent few hours looking at a lot of them.
She has completely erased the unpleasant experience from my previous visit so I declare myself satisfied of the encounter this time, will surely get back there but to talk only with her.
as for the diamond:
I have mainly been look for:
PA; 40.8
CA: 34-35 deg
taking into account the info from here:
Diamond Proportions
The physics of light-behavior within a diamond are reliably consistent, which means proportions measurements can be useful.www.pricescope.com
The one that fits perfectly this proportion is:
PROPORTIONS
HCA: 1.4 Big apperance
Depth 61.9% Table 57% Crown Angle 35.0° Crown Height 15.0% Pavilion Angle 40.8° Pavilion Depth 43.0% Star Length 50% Lower Half 80% Girdle Medium to Slightly Thick, Faceted, 4.0% Culet None
I really like this one, considering taking it.
However, i took note that diamonds a little "fat" do have more fire and we took a look at some of them, such as:
2486409792
PROPORTIONS
HCA 0.5 Big appearence
Depth 61.0% Table 56% Crown Angle 34.0° Crown Height 15.0% Pavilion Angle 40.6° Pavilion Depth 42.5% Star Length 50% Lower Half 75% Girdle Medium to Slightly Thick, Faceted, 3.5% Culet None
Now, the second one seemed to have a little bit more fire in the 360deg video but that 360deg video does not really help, it aint like the one from whiteflash which shows in so much detail its fire and sparkle.
Out of all the diamonds I have mentioned in previous posts, I've checked 3 diamonds by the HCA and 2 of them had 1.4 HCA score ( 1489817907 and 1488569271) whilst 2486409792 has a 0.5
According to the Pricescope proportion guide,
40.8 PA and 35 CA should have lower halves 80% which the 1489817907 diamond has. 15% crown height, good table and depth.
Im kinda set to buy this one, what do you all think?
It has a feather fault inside which was clearly seen in the 360degrees video and it was reflected a lot inside of it and few pinpoints. being VVS2 i dont think it matters anyway, also colour D.
I took your advice and looked for other colours (E,F) as well and also for a VS2 clarity for 0.5 carats. the price would go up by 250 dollars given that i may pick one of the cheapest diamonds, not one that has these perfect proportions therefore, given that i have D/VVS2 being budgeted I said i'll keep it that way, dont care that much that I could save some money.
Just helps me to think that the diamond is close to perfect tho
Later edit: 77Diamonds do not ship to the country I live in therefore its out of discussion...
Hello,
Thank you for the help!!
Sadly, that 0.55 stone is out of my reach.
The only ones I can reach are those below:

Working under the constraints that ordering a diamond from the USA to be delivered in Europe is kind of difficult and I want to avoid the hassle so therefore I am stuck with the European/Romanian market
What about that fluorescence? When does it become a problem?
I have seen few diamonds with some sort of fluorescence, one of them being strong blue and I have not liked them.
Also, one of the diamonds I have seen and really like had no fluorescence and I started picking them only without fluoresence, none.
