Welcome to PS

Firstly the depth is a bit much at 63.4 - this could have the possible effect of wasting weight and potentially face up size. See if you can post the crown and pavillion angles as this will help to further judge this rock, and polish and symmetry. Also the diameter measurements are needed so we can see what size this diamond is facing up. Personally I would pass as I prefer a depth of 60 - 62.6 as my limit. Did you actually want F and VS clarity? You could drop these and broaded your options, unless high colour and clarity are important to you. Also if the fluorescence is strong blue, you might want to check with the vendor that it doesn't have an adverse effect such as the diamond being oily or milky in sunlight. Also see if the vendor has an Idealscope image if you want to pursue this diamond, this would be very helpful.

Hi passion,

There''s still some info missing that''s important, i.e. crown and pavillion angles, also polish and symmetry. However, what struck me is the depth. I would bet since this stone is rather deep, it''s not facing up as big as it should.

I think you could find one a bit better, try to keep the depth at 62 or above.

Fast fingers beat me again.

measurements 6.11 x 6.16 x 3.89 mm
Symmetry very good
polish excellent

I''m checking out diamonds on BN and have no clue where/how to find crown. But from the info you have already given I will look for another stone.
At this point I really don''t want to go lower than F vs2

No worries about your colour and clarity reqs! Crown and pav angles usually are found on the newer GIA reports. Are you set on purchasing from BN?

 

[Passionfruit]

I''m not stuck on BN, it''s just a few people have mention it to me.

BN doesn't offer an upgrade policy, if this is important to you, it might be better to go with another vendor such as Whiteflash, Good Old Gold and James Allen will trade in certain diamonds etc. WF and GOG, JA have many diamonds in house so they can advise you accordingly with the diamond at their fingertips.
