Hey Everyone!
Longtime reader, but first time poster. I've been on the hunt for an engagement ring for going on 9 months now, and I've learned a ton in the process, but I've pretty much been paralyzed on pulling the trigger the last few months because I'm afraid I'm overlooking something. From what I gauge, I'm looking for something with the specs below:
Round cut
0.8 carats or above
VS2 or greater
G or better
Excellent cut, polish, and symmetry
Faint to no flouresence
Now when it gets into table, depth, pavillion angle, crown angle, etc. I start to get a bit skeptical in my selection because it seems like there are a number of different proportions that optimize the fire, brilliance, scintillation and so on. Despite that, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on the below, but I wanted to post here to try to get some confirmation or insight as to whether I'm overlooking anything.
I'm a bit tied to Blue Nile, because they have a setting I think is ideal, but at the same time, I recognize Blue Nile doesn't provide idealscope, ASET or Hearts and Arrows images Is the information they provide enough to go off of? The diamond has a 0.9 HCA score and seems to sit on the edge of the preferred range on the below cut estimator. Also, should I have any worries about a faint flouresence with an E color grade?
Appreciate any insight! You guys and the rest of the community have already been a huge help in this whole process!
