Also check it is eyeclean to your standards. One thing that concerns me, it has fair polish and I would want at least good or above. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

I saw the diamond in person, and it didn't really scream at me, but the price is making me consider it more as an option for the e-ring. What exactly does a fair polish translate to when viewing in person. Would it look duller, less sparkly, less light reflection? Ideally I want to have it set in platinum with a halo around it. Since its more of an elaborate setting, would the fair polish be that noticeable? I appreciate the input!

I go by what it says in this tutorial that ' fair or poor polish, visual performance may be noticeably reduced,' so yes what you mention above could apply. http://diamonds.pricescope.com/polish.asp I think you need your e-ring diamond to at least sing to you even if it doesn't scream at you, so personally I would continue looking but if you want a big diamond on a budget, spend a little more and make the sale final on this one checking out to your satisfaction in all aspects with an independant appraiser, then he can advise on the polish and other points.
