Double dittos here....
Sometimes what seems like a bargain can actually cost more........

In addition to the depth, the EGL report is notoriously inaccurate- so the diamond in all likelihood could be an I1.

From my own personal experiences with EGL certs. they grade diamonds on a very soft curve. If I had to guess without looking at the stone, I''d say GIA would probably grade it as an H I1. Make sure you see the stone first

YUCK! Run away, its a horrible cut.

It is also deep like a peg, it won't look like 2 carats.

workerb,

I looked back through your posts, and see you have also been looking online. I found one that might work for you. You would need to ask for an IS on it, find out if it's eyeclean, and make sure the fluorescence isn't having a negative affect on the stones appearance. (unlikely)

Thank you very much. I will look into that diamond today. Apparently I can only find leaky diamonds

You are welcome!

And don''t feel bad, there''s a lot to learn about diamonds. They''re tricky lil buggers.

Having said that, the angles on this could cause a slight bit of leakage, but just how much remains to be seen. A small amount can exist, and yet not really be detectable to the eye. So not "every" leaky diamond is bad!
