Opinions on this round brilliant stone

[hedarud]

I feel like I am getting to understand things a bit more.......I am looking for a stone that is about 2 ct, I want the best value for my money, and budget around 15-18K. I found something and want people to chime in, The HCA TVP is 1.3 if i did it right. Is this stone a good buy ??? Thanks in advance

Yeah, this one is nice. Better than the G.

Looks potentially very nice, but check with JA if it is eyeclean as I can see something in the rock around 12 o'clock.

Yes, check if it''s eye clean. See if someone can actually look at it, vs putting their face really close to the screen.

Proportions look cherry.

I think you can go with the numbers on the cert. The abstracted data is irritatingly off, though non substantive...different weight, measure, and depth...the latter of which, at 62.2, would make it just a little less favorable, though still not bad...but the cert should be defining.

I didn''t need to look that close

From the report, I see there is a crystal in the stone near the center, is this particularly a bad thing, I think this diamond is priced very good for its attributes otherwise, anyone care to chime in.

i have two round diamonds one i believe is 2.17 and another 2.08. i'm not exactly sure but i can get it checked out. i know that are both SI and G-H in color, but let me find out all my facts. The diamond you were asking about how much was it? thanks, lisa

No, it is a larger stone of SI clarity so there is a chance that something may be visible, I noticed it in an earlier post, but I would now take the next step if you are interested by contacting JA and asking them to pull the diamond and tell you if it is eyeclean or not, the cut looks good so it just remains the inclusion question.
