To the naked eye it performs well. Low leakage.

Going to pay $15000 for rock + platinum band.

Am I getting Had or is this in the realm of reasonable?

Thank you all, in advance, for taking the time to reply.

Online pricing ranges from $11k to $14k but many of those won't be eye clean.

Have you seen this diamond and confirmed it is eye clean to your standards?

I am seeing $14-15k range on James Allen for GIA Ex 2 ct J SI2. Be sure you take a very close look at the stone from the top and sides to be sure it is eyeclean since many are not.

Ran through HCA as you recommended, results below:

Factor Grade
Light Return Very Good
Fire Very Good
Scintillation Good
Spread Very Good
or diameter for weight
Total Visual Performance 3.6 - Very Good - Worth buying if the price is right

crown angle 36.5
table 56%
depth 62.5%
pavilion angel 40.8


It looked very clean to the naked eye - I couldn't really see inclusion without a loop...

Many people prefer to look for GIA Ex cuts that also score less than 2 on the HCA to maximize their chances of selecting a really well cut diamond.
