Numbers on the diamond are excellent! An Idealscope image would be nice, but if the vendor is who I suspect, they do not provide them. You are in very "safe" range for the numbers, so if you do purchase the stone, examine it in a variety of lighting environments during the return period. Also make sure that it is eye-clean to your standards, being an SI clarity.

You can use the "Pricescope your diamond" function at the top of the page to compare pricing.

Yep...all the numbers look good. Do you know if it is eye clean?

You can have Blue Nile ask the vendor holding the diamond about eye-clean. There have been reports of BN reporting eye-clean, but the buyer easily seeing inclusions with the naked eye. (I wonder if BN actually asks the wholesaler or if they just automatically tell people "yes, it is eye-clean", or maybe certain wholesalers do that and BN has no clue since they never see the stones) Either way, they do have a good return policy, so if you order the diamond, examine it and are not happy, they will return the stone with no hassle.

Looks great, if eyeclean could be an excellent choice.
