Diamond question

[rca420]

Hi ALL,

I''m STILL in the market to buy a diamond and have came across a nice one(IMO). What do you experts think? BTW, what are those red lines in the diamond and what are twinning wisps? Thanks!

shallow.

have you seen it? ideal scope?

 

[JulieN]

The red things are inclusions

Sarin and Ideal Scope for these if they are eye-clean:

And there''s a Whiteflash 1.09 H SI2 that looks good, too.

I'm not loving the crown angle, you could do better and the ones Julie posted are nice.

EDIT: Although...I'm not so sure that first one JulieN posted will be eye-clean...but the other one looks like it could be.

weeeeeellll.... no....... it is risky.

This diamond searching is so hard. I've been searching for a good couple of months now. Maybe I'm too picky or I'm too stupid to realize what's a good diamond. hehe.

I will continue to search!!!!!

My budget is ~5K and I'd like something larger than a 1.10C, SI1, G/F. Will I be able to get one or am I dreaming? Are there places where I can buy used diamonds?

Thanks all!

Ask if it is eye clean . . . but it fits most of your specs and falls under your budget.
If you don''t mind strong blue fluorescence, here is another one:
