That white speck smack in the middle of the table is scary. Especially for someone who is being nudged toward VVS.
NOT an inclusion. It’s dust!!
@holeydonut , that stone is definitely nice! however, it's 24k, not within budget
any feedbacks?
is going on in here?

I simply said buying Tiffany allows you to use their brand as the strength instead of trying to puff up an online vendor that the GF likely has never heard of. You tell me which is easier to accomplish; educating someone on an online brand or convincing the same person that Tiffany rings are sub-par to that online vendor? What am I missing here? Seems like common sense to me, but maybe not to you.
If the world blows dust onto your stone, you can wash it off. If you buy a stone with a white spec that is visible at tilt angles after washing, then you're the one who compromised. Fairly simple concept. The videos you see of diamonds online consistently show white specs on the table/crown of VS1 diamonds while VVS don't have the issue. I have a hard time believing that it's dust in the videos. In-person viewing of "dirty mall diamonds" and jeweler diamonds only reinforces the bias that some of the specs are indeed visible at tilt angles. Some women don't want an VS1. What am I missing here? Seems like common sense to me, the OP's GF literally told him a VVS or better was required because she doesn't want to deal with rationalizations or compromises.
If you mount a H stone next to F/G melee, some people can see the yellow of the H stone due to the contrast of the melee colors. What am I missing here? H is likely going to appear more yellow than an F; especially next to F/G melee or pave.
I think by now it's obvious the folks on PS strive for a super-ideal cut that is only marginally better than the regular ideal cut. Last I checked, an HCA score of 0.8 was better than compared to an HCA of 2.0? What am I missing here? You guys talk about HCA scores all the time, and 0.8 is really good? Right?
Do you need me to point out the little kinks in the tips of the hearts and slightly irregular heart shapes of the hearts themselves this image? That Whiteflash ACA doesn't have those irregularities on the scope. And the definition/color on the ASET is very good. Are you saying you can find a better ASET result than the Whiteflash 1.6?
are those specks related to the pinpoints shown in the GIA report? the one on the table does look concerning

Don't let your pride get in the way of exploring options. You don't know what's going through the mind of someone else or their parents, and it's more "tacky" to assume you know what's best without asking.
