Also the HCA returned a 2.6 and from my guess it went down as the pavillion angle went above 41. I do like the look of a 60/60 stone and the one I previously saw had a lower HCA score, but the only differences were a 59.7 depth (compared to 60 here) and the 41 pavillion angle (compared to 41.2 here).

I'm also concerned about the inclusions? I'm not positive if that "natural" is detrimental to the integrity of the diamond. I know I need images, etc, but just wanted your thoughts on the GIA report and the HCA score.

Was also looking at this one:

I think you are fine on inclusions on #2. Have their gemologist get on the line with you and talk you through it all. One #1 ask about the feather and natural. Feather should not break surface. Get them on the line and talk to them.

Regarding the 60/60 and pavillion angles what you need is an idealscope image. Hopefully they can provide one to you.

But here is an article for you: https://www.pricescope.com/wiki/diamonds/60-60-proportioned-diamond

And here is the key part: "Of all of the diamonds within this range of pavilion angles, only those between 40.2 and 41.2 degrees are likely to be worthy of consideration."

So I think there's a good chance that it will have a good idealscope image. And as long as it does, you are fine with performance.

Here's an article on idealscopes and images as well for you to read; https://www.pricescope.com/wiki/diamonds/firescope-idealscope
 
Thanks. Just noticed there were 2 naturals noted on the GIA report.

Does anyone have general experience with naturals?

Also, would you think going from a 1.4 to a 1.5 is worth the sacrifice in color from G to H ? That's kind of the coin I'm flipping right now.
 
I'd love any feedback on this. Essentially, it comes down to a 1.38 G VS2 vs. a 1.50 H SI1 (eye clean, but these 'naturals' worry me for some reason). Again, all G colors I have seen appear to be ice white and I do like that, but the size is tempting. Also, the 1.50 scored a 2.6 on HCA and the 1.38 was under 2.
 
The SI1 looks good eye clean no problem, feather that breaks the surface will have a green line on the report not that theres anything to be worried about a feather that extends to the surface unless its large and has iridescence or on the corner of a princess or marquise cut.
A feather has already gone as deep as it will this is what they taught me at the GIA and is confirmed on the pricescope information page on feathers , any diamond can cleave if hit at the right angle so a feather can if its on a cleavage angle but whats the chance of that?
Naturals no worries, they a bits of the natural diamond skin that wasn't polished away it will be on the girdle and will pose absolutely no negative affect to the diamond a Flawless grade diamond can have naturals confined to the girdle!
the problem with the SI1 is the cut 41.2 pavilion angle.
 
Best advice is already given. TALK TO THEIR GEMOLOGIST WHILE HE HAS THE STONE IN HIS HAND AND CAN TELL YOU WHAT HE SEES.

Okay? If he says the SI is fine. It's fine. I'd want the larger stone too. H is a good color. SI is good clarity. Just make sure all is well and talk to the gemologist.

Also, you still need an Ideascope image.
 
Why are you so concerned with naturals? haha :confused:
