Please help me to find a diamond!

[virginia76]

Hello everyone,

I am new in this forum. I am trying to look at diamonds for my 10th year anniversary. I have found one stone but I don''t know if it is good or not. I want a stone to be at least 1.5 and excellent cut so that it sparkle all the time. My budget is around 14k or less. Please give me some advices regarding the diamond that I have found. I appreciate everyone''s input. Thanks again for helping me.

That stone looks to be amazing!
MY only issue is the table size - still well within the ideal range - but I personally like the look of a smaller table.
I do not know enough to comment on the "slightly thick" girdle so maybe someone else can chime in if that is a problem.
Otherwise - I love the color and clarity and that price for a well cut stone.

(Incase anyone is wondering - it got a 0.9 on the HCA -just to save you the time)

good luck

I think it looks great! It should be GORGEOUS!

I put your numbers into the HCA and came up with this:

Light Return Very Good
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Excellent
Total Visual Performance 0.9 - Excellent, within TIC range

Sounds like a fun project. Have any ideas about the setting?

I have not thought about the setting for the ring yet. However, I think I like the simple setting such as Tiffany knife edge solitaire setting.

Thanks everyone for your input.
