Diamond quality question

[kazanskym]

Hello. I am new to the forum and have a couple of questions about a diamond i found on line. My diamond search is for a 2.00 carat diamond with the 14,000 to 16,000 price range. I found a 2.01 on the Abazias website through Pricescope. It''s an H color, SI1, AGS Excellent 1. It''s table is 58.8, depth 59.3, pav angle 40.5, crown angle 33.5. They have it available for the cash price of 15,787.75. Here''s the link for reference. http://www.abazias.com/database/AjaxDiamondSearch.asp?selectedDiamond=30508885&flag=ps

The certificate is http://www.abazias.com/database/CertWin.asp?stock=30508885

Is this a good diamond for the price?

I am also wondering what people think about an H color?

Thank you.

Matt

H color is usually cool, but it may seem tinted to some people in this size.

the diamond's angles are shallow.

Hey everyone, as you all saw, I have a post up for some advice on my cousin''s diamond, well Matt is my business partner so any help for him regarding his potential diamond would be great also. Seems like we will all be getting married around the same time.

Well, the diamond you picked scored a 0.9 on the HCA, so it could be well-cut. It is outside the range for an AGS0 or a GIA excellent. H color is not usually something to worry about, and you could probably go up to an I color on an ideal cut stone. Here''s a couple of other possibilities for you in case you wanted to consider other stones.
