Comments: H&A
It looks very nice to me. To my eyes, it is eyeclean face up, though I can see the crystal from the side if I look hard enough. The fluorescence is something I was looking for (my girlfriend and I are both in science, so I think she will appreciate it). I''m almost entirely sure that this will be the stone I keep, especially since I had a good experience with Blue Nile and they were nice enough to give me the September discount even though I requested it after I had made the purchase. But as a last check, I just wanted to make sure there weren''t any red flags with this diamond I should be aware of and that I got a decent price ($1861 with the discount).
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Patch
