Hi everyone,
I have been trying to look for an engagement diamond for about a month, and no luck so far given my requirements. Either the price is too high, cut isn't great, or the fluorescence actually created some haziness in the stone.
I am looking for around 2.5 carats, and trying to stay as close as possible to that as possible, 2.5 or greater ideally. G color or better, VS2, or possibly an SI1 that has no visible inclusions to the naked eye from any distance. I don't mind fluorescence as long as it doesn't affect the brilliance of the stone. I am mostly looking at GIA certed stones but open to AGS.
I found a 2.46 carat stone that is VS2 E color with strong fluorescence. It is priced well at around 36k, and scores a 1.1 on the HCA. The stone specs are below. I am concerned the crown angle is too shallow. Your thoughts?
Stone specs:
GIA Cut: Excellent
GIA Polish: Very Good
GIA Symmetry: Excellent
Measurements: 8.79 x 8.83 x 5.27 mm
Table: 59 %
Depth: 59.7%
Crown angle: 32.5 degrees
Pavilion angle: 41 degrees
Girdle: Thin to Medium
