I need help with this Diamond!

[rbottger]

Hello,

I have chosen a Diamond with this characteristics:

Shape: Round
Carat: 0.9
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Cut Grade: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluorescence: None

Its Certificate by GIA. I think it´s a very good diamond but I am worried because the GIA certificate shows:

Clarity Characteristics: Feather, Knot , Crystal

I dont know how the Knot inclusion is going to affect the quality of the diamond. If the diamond has a clarity of VS2 that means that the Knot inclusion will not be seen with the naked eye by a person?

Thank you very much!

Richard

My vendor don´t have the diamond. If I agree to buy de diamond he will bring it from another city.

Thats my doubt beacause I dont want to miss this opportunity on a good diamond but on the other hand it has a Knot.

Should I buy it? The diamond is VS2 so the Knot should be very small ( Eye Clean ) and should not affect the diamong on the time.

In order for him to bring it from the other city, do you have to commit to buy or anything? Why not have him bring it in?

What is it that makes you think this is a very rare opportunity? There are hundreds of diamonds available with similar specifications, ranging from $3,500-$10,000 in price.

What is your budget?

Well, I went ahead and checked for you, and it turns out this diamond scores 2.9 on the HCA. Looks like its scintillation will not be very good, while the brightness and fire may be acceptable. If you have a very limited budget and this diamond is offered at a price affordable to you, it may be an OK choice. If you want more help, you will need to tell us the price of the diamond, and the range of your budget.

In case anybody else wants to offer advice to the OP, here are the proportions from the GIA report:

Depth 60.8 %
Table 59 %
Crown Angle 32.0°
Crown Height 13.0%
Pavilion Angle 41.4°
Pavilion Depth 44.0%
Star Length 50%
Lower Half 80%
Girdle Medium to Slightly Thick, Faceted, 4.0%
Culet None

In situations like this, it is helpful to look at a comparable stone.

Price-wise, compare it to this stone:

.91ct, F, VS2

If the stone you had listed is more expensive than this stone, I would suggest purchasing the stone I had linked above, instead. It already has all of the light performance data you need to make an informed decision.

Best of luck!

The price of the diamond with the ring is $ 6000 dolars. I live in South America. I have researched a lot and diamonds with de same characteristics are more expensive than this one.

I apologize for my ignorance, but do you have to pay large taxes (duties) on imported goods in South America?

If not, the stone I had posted above is under $6k and could be paired with a setting to be about $6000, out the door.

The stone from Whiteflash is superior in quality to the stone you had posted. If you want the best of the best, it would be wise to go with this option.

You would end up with a killer stone, with confirmed performance, and it would really take the guesswork out of the whole process.

Just a suggestion!

Here's one that is going to be better than yours, and costs only $4600 USD:

Even with import tariffs up to 30%, it will cost you less than $6000.

The WF diamond posted by RockyRacoon is even nicer than the one I have suggested, but it may cost more than $6000 if you have to pay import duties.

A very quick search using the PS Diamond Search Tool brings up about 50 diamonds below $5000 that are worth your consideration (HCA Score < 2).

So in my opinion, your "opportunity" is not very unique, and not even the best possible selection for you. If you are comfortable purchasing from one of the PS-recommended internet vendors, please tell us your budget, and let us know what the import duties are for your country. With this information, someone here will be able to find you suitable options.

Hello, Finally I bought the diamond. It´s completly eye clean and I can´t even see the knot under 10x.
Also it has a lot of brightness, fire and scintillation. I compare it with one that has a HCA<2 and this one its better.
So finally I can conclude that GIA Cut ( Excellent ) its the factor one should take in consideration.

Thank you all for your help! I am very happy with the diamond!
