First, I'd like to thank everyone that commented in my last post. I truly appreciate the help! I figured a new thread might be better as I have a diamond picked out and price agreed on. I will likely be wiring the money tomorrow or Thursday if you all think this checks out. My budget was $6000, and I am priced out a little bit over that with this diamond and setting. Setting is the setting my GF loves so just making sure the stone checks out. I also am in no hurry so I dont want to make an unnecessary mistake.

- prefer medium-strong flourescence, am fine with an excellent SI1, preferred VS2. Am fine with a I color that rates well and wont appear warm in the halo. H puts my mind at ease. Was told they checked the diamond and it is not milky/oily/hazy.
setting:

I know the HCA score is a rejection tool, not a selection tool but this one doesnt have as good of a score as other diamonds I have looked at, (i think it was 1.8, ex-vg-vg-vg).

Diamond:
1.03ct, H, VS1, strong flourescence

Is it possible to get image/video confirmation the diamond is not hazy from the flourescence?
Is it too much to ask if they can take a video or a few images of it next to a few other diamonds that look good on blue nile if they can pull them just to make sure this stone holds up vs the others IRL? they had access to a lot of the blue nile listings.

thank you in advance!! If this is the one, its been a fun journey getting to this point the last few months. Yeketiel has been excellent to work with.

Beautiful stone-the images actually remind me of my Stellla! They're not perfect, but the differences are subtle to the naked eye. Effects of fluorescence need to be viewed when activated under UV light so it won't be viewed in a picture but you should certainly ask Yekutiel to confirm there are no negative effects.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for comparison photos or video so I'm sure Yekutiel would be willing to do so but ask to be sure!
 
Thank you! He said he checked it and it didn't appear hazy. I just can't return the setting if I have an issue, only the diamond. First time purchasing a diamond so I'm overly cautious.

This diamond was listed at $5700 or $5559 wire transfer on blue nile. I think it's a great deal just want to make sure it's the right one to move forward with.
 
@ac117 I looked up your post on your diamond. Almost identical dimensions, I had to double take the ASET at first lol. Very very similar and both H, VS, strong blue stones. Yours looks excellent so that makes me feel good! Are you happy with yours?

I thought the same thing when I saw your images!! :lol: I LOVE my stone...especially the fat arrows and smaller table that make her really fiery :mrgreen2: she's a G and is still very white, which I was concerned about since my original stone was an E. I think you'll be very happy!
 
Excellent! Your ring looks amazing. I'm sure I'll forget about all this until she needs something else, hopefully she loves this one.
I forgot, I was supposed to open up a chase sapphire preferred card ahead of this deal to get the $1000 bonus roughly in miles.... I've been waiting to apply for it for the past 6 months for this reason lol. :wall:
