Board thoughts on diamond purchase - with GIA #, IS, & ASET

Hi All,

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on a diamond purchase. I paid $12,300 for it, but haven't received it yet and can always return it.

Thanks!

Here is the info:

HCA = 1.1

Thank you. But no criticisms at all? Give it to me straight - I have no problem returning it. I've already returned one and will return as many as I have to. I only went ahead and bought this one because it didn't seem like they were able to put it on hold properly.

Good score on the HCA; all excellents and a 1.1 - does not seem to have any 'glaring' issues. Have you seen it in person?

I have not. It is supposed to ship out to me today.

One concern I have is that per the GIA reference diagram, one of the inclusions is on the surface of table.

It looks good. The idealscope looks good and so does the ASET. I say the final way to evaluate it at this point is with your eyes. So when you get it let us know and take pics! Also, you may not even see that inclusion since it is a VS2. Hold it at an arm's length away and see if you like what you see (cannot see that inclusion). Maybe some of the pros will post some more thoughts but overall it looks great to me. Your eyes will tell you if you like it next

Thank you. It should arrive today, so I'll make a final update post after assessing.
