Hi Guys
I finally found a diamond with the largest freakin' dimension I can find for the money while having low HCA score and excellent GIA cut.
It is a round brilliant GIA-certified excellent cut, 1.55 carat, H, SI1, with a superb whopping 0.6 ex, ex, ex, ex on the HCA, and very good on symmetry and polish. GIA report is very recent(August 2014) . It has all the proper proportions that it needs to including 57% table, 34 degrees crown angle, and 60.1% depth. It is 7.56mmx x 7.53mm x 4.53mm and it is under $9600. It was very hard to find a diamond of this caliber with low hca, and large dimensions, but staying around $9k. The only diamonds that I could get with the spec and price range was going to I or J color. Otherwise, for H color, all the 7.5mm+ diameter diamonds were atleast $11-12k. I know my girlfriend wants
Yes, I have some basic knowledge about the following and I've already checked out some of them below:
1. Ideascope - not yet
2. Aset - not yet
3. HCA number - checks out at 0.6! ex ex ex ex
4. crown/pavillion angle - checks out at 34 degrees crown, 40.6 degrees pavillion, 57% table, 60.1% depth, thin to medium girdle, no cutlet
Anyhow, Yoni sent over a preliminary picture and I wanted to get your input guys. The concern I had was that this diamond shows ONLY "crystal" as the inclusions on the GIA report and few pieces of it here and there. However, the image he sent over showed a boatload more of dots and specs on it. I asked him if these were inclusions or possibly dust. He says most definitely going to be dust and finger print residue.
Yoni is going to get me more pictures, videos, and possibly Ideal/ASET stuff.
Also, what is worst inclusion? crystal or feather? I read on pricescope that feather is the worst since technically a feather is a crack ?? and I guess a crack is no good.
I've put together a drawing that I marked red circles for what I believe GIA recognizes as the crystal inclusions, but the green circles that I mark is what I'm wondering what those are? Inclusions or surface debris?
Please let me know what you guys think and whether this is a good buy to maximize size-to-money ratio while maintaining excellent cut, color, clarity, and proportions.
I know the next thing to do is idealscope and ASET. I'll get those as well.
Thank you guys
