Hello Diamond Experts - thanks for taking the time out to give me some advice.

I recently purchased this loose diamond:
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...-g-color-if-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-3140114

My girlfriend specifically requested a Canadian diamond a while back. According to my own limited research, this was what seemed like the best available in my budget ($4k-4.5k) for a 0.8x-0.9x carat stone. So, my questions for you all are if this diamond is decently cut and if there are any glaring issues that I should be aware of. I placed the order a couple of days ago, so I just wanted some advice on what to look out for when I receive it to make my determination to keep or return it.

Here are some specs copied/pasted from JA:

Again, thank you very much for your time and expertise.

Best,
-Hank
 
So, my questions for you all are if this diamond is decently cut

I think decently cut is an appropriate descriptor for this stone. Not great, not bad either.

Just ensure it is not milky or hazy from the strong fluo.
Finding a CanadianMark diamond that is PS quality cut within a certain budget is like finding a needle in a haystack.
There are not just many of them, and the cut is not the brand's top priority.
 
Thank you both for your insight.
 
I literally searched through my history for this stone because I came across it over the weekend and I just saw that you posted it! :D I am not sure if OP reserved it, or if it is sold at this point.

I hope so bc that was an over 1 ct stone VVS2 clarity for UNDER $5k!!! :eek2:

Unfortunately, I was not the one that reserved/purchased that particular stone. :doh:
