Could I get some opinions on this diamond?

[stefank]

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on a diamond I'm thinking about purchasing. I'm a noob to his whole process and it is becoming overwhelming at times. I've attached the GIA report. Thanks in advance for any help offered. It is greatly appreciated.

well it only scored a 2.4 on the HCA....and I'd be concerned with the inclusions. Are you open to other options? If so, what's your budget?

Thanks!

I'd like to keep the diamond around $12,000. I don't necessarily need a 2 ct. stone but I'd like it to be between 1.8-2 cts. I'd like the diameter to be around 8mm. Max color I. SI1 SI2. This may be unrealistic expectations.

Did they say it was eye-clean?

worth calling in for pictures/ideal scope.

around 1.75 cts is an easier target.
