First Time Buyer - Thoughts on Stone?

[Sawknee]

Hi there,

First time buyer, spent the last few weeks researching heaps of information with regards to diamonds, including visiting plenty of local Australian stores which could not even come close to the prices I see at online stores (and frankly the paper quality). Would anyone be able to provide me any advice with regards to the following diamond, and things I should consider etc. If possible, if you can back up your reasoning with justification that would further assist with my understanding and learning.

I'm not able to get any further information about it at this stage.

Also, how often do VVS2 diamonds have visible inclusions through the side?

Appreciate your time to view the thread. Great community here, I may just stay around, as diamond research has been actually enjoyable :S In another life I would want to be a gemologist.

The inclusions on a VVS2 would be hard to locate even when the stone is examined under magnification, let along the naked eye. Unless you had x-ray vision, you would not be able to see them through the top nor through the sides. I agree with ice_baby, it sounds like a VERY nice diamond.

Thanks for your replies. You are most likely correct on the clarity, just buying online I wanted to ensure its overkill than be sad when I find something in the future. Any thoughts on any of the proportions? I've noticed the HCA tool says Spread is excellent. Is this desirable? I havent found many cuts that have an 'excellent' spread so far.
