Another set of eyes for my diamond please!

[wbrandon]

Can anyone take a look at this diamond for me? I am in the process of purchasing it and would like another set of eyes. I couldn't believe the price for a diamond like this. I have also requested idealscope images but that could take a little time. The HCA numbers are pretty good. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Or can someone at least point out something that could be of concern??

HCA should not be used as the final selection tool. You have to ask JA for the Idealscope image.

I have already sent a request for the idealscope images and am waiting for those. I was just hoping to get an opinion from another set of eyes on this diamond. Is there anything new that sticks out that could be of concern?

JA will get 3 IS images free of charge to you if you request them at the same time. It is beneficial to have 2 more lined up. My personal preference is a diamond with a smaller table and higher crown.

Have they said if it's eyeclean? I would make sure they double check that for you too.

Looks like a pretty nice diamond to me. Crystals must mostly be light in color because I am not seeing anything alarming or ugly on the 360 view. Numbers are good, diamond looks good in the video, and strong fluoroescence is helping the price likely. The IS image will tell us more, but I think it is going to be a good one.

Edit: disregard what I originally said about it hiding some weight. I read the diameter incorrectly and it appears to be the appropriate size for its weight.

Here is the idealscope image. It looks very nice to me. Any opinions!?

That's what I expected to see. Looks great to me.

The response I received:

The gemologist has great feedback, stating that your diamond offers excellent fire, brilliance, and scintillation. It appears eye clean and has a higher/whiter “G” color (closer to an “F”) thanks to the color boost caused by fluorescence. Additionally, the fluorescence doesn’t have any impact on the diamond’s beauty or light performance; it’s completely transparent! It comes highly recommended for your purchase and I have complete confidence you’ll be pleased when you see it in person.

I realized that I hadn't posted the diamond since I got it from James Allen! What do you guys think? I think I got a good deal on a .97 ct excellent cut diamond for $4690 including the 430 dollar comfortable fit setting. James Allen has great customer service and I enjoyed this ring buying experience.

Pretty! Great buy too.

Thanks! Was a little disappointed with James Allens ring set selections. They didn't have what I wanted u fortunately. Whitefl ash has a much better selection
