Hi everyone,
I had a very interesting conversation with Erica from Love Affair Diamonds about a diamond she first considered to keep for herself, but now would be willing to sell to me. Its this unique transitional cut diamond, E color with strong blue fluorescence:

I would really appreciate your comments on this diamond, since it attracts me so much, but at the same time freaks me out, since - the table is big, the stone glows purple in sunlight, the girdle is very thin, I have so many questions about SBF, about the performance, leakage... everything. All in all it seems to be a unique stone with its own personality and I feel priviledged to be able to consider it, and attracted to the idea of owning it. At the same time it would be a huge investment for me. Plus, I live outside of the US, so shipping up and down would a bit difficult because of tax reasons.
What do you think? What issues do you see? What questions should I ask (myself)? Erica has been wonderful and responsive, I just need to be sure I am asking the right questions
Thank you so much!
