Hello,  I am going to pop the big question soon and was looking for advice.  The first day I was told about this board I could not stop reading all the knowledgable information.  I love that everyone here super nice and very helpful in the quest for helping someone find the best diamond.


I searched online and at stores for over 2 months and I finally found a diamond in a local B&M that I liked and put a refunded deposit on it.  I saw it with my own eyes and it looks clean to the naked eye, but under the lope I could cleary see inclusions.  The most important aspect I was going for is the cut then color and obviously price.  Below are the details and HCA.  Please let me know if the price is right or if I could do better.  Thanks in advance.


$5300 which includes a platium setting with small diamonds going all the way around the ring.  tcw is around .5.

You can do a pricesearch here:

Combined with HCA score, that's about as much anyone can say.

Should I be worried about it being a SI2 with a EGL grading? Is there something I should look out for under the magnification as far as flaws or how many inclusions there are for the price?

I wouldn't try to self-grade an SI2.
