Feedback Round Diamond - Crown & Pavilion Angle

[TXwidow]

This is so far the only diamond I have found that has a better HCA score than 2, however I am also open to a lower HCA (3 or better) due to my budget. I will check with my store (not US) if they can consider getting this diamond and additional information. It is also listed here .

On fluorescence: Do I need to be worried that this is MEDIUM?

please by all that is Holy, don't go below 2.5 on the HCA; certain not as poorly cut as a 3.

I have instructed a new search and received another option, this time its a 3.73ct GIA, I, VS2, Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, None Fluorescence.

Seems better than the initial IGI ones, have requested detailed videos.

Depth	62.4%
Table	58%
Crown Angle	36°
Crown Height	15.5%
Pavilion Angle	40.8°
Pavilion Depth	43.0%
Polish & Symmetry	Excellent
Girdle	Medium-Slightly Thick (Faceted) 4.0%
Measurements	9.79 x 9.87 x 6.13 mm

the diameter on that WhiteFlash stone first mentioned: Measurements ................................ 9.97 - 9.99 x 6.11 mm better cut stone and look at the difference in the diameter==9.97 vs 9.79

Do you mean don't go above 2.5 on the HCA?

That's a very solid choice!!!!!

looks nice ! Before you set it... maybe you can request an updated GIA report (they can use existing #) Also, It might qualify for their enhanced AGS Ideal® Report add on..... Be nice to have especially for such a big stone....

Thanks again everyone - search continued and am still looking at the 3.7 ct from whiteflash.

I received two further videos and would love to get more opinions. To me it looks beautiful but in some angles a little dark - I am unsure wether that’s caused because the cut is actually really good or if it is something to worry about. Thanks!

Is going for NONE fluorescence worth it or should I consider faint as well?

I had a diamond with faint and never - in the 25 years I owned it - did it fluoresce or show signs of it. I never would have known, had I not had the cert. I also have a Tag watch and one of the diamonds has medium-strong fluorescence and I didn’t even know until I bought a UV loop. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy faint…. Especially if it brings the price down. But never sacrifice the cut for a larger size if you want a bright, sparkly stone.

well it'd be great if they had provided better imaging (360 spin video like most have)
the dark area - seems excessive - you might have cut issues (obstruction / leakage etc..) with it... would be nice to have a ASET Images.....
the 2017 report date does gives me pause - was this a trade in ??? is it still a VS1 ???

lastly it's a virtual for Whiteflash so don't confuse it with their Super Ideal ACA's or Expert Selections...

Are you planning to purchase from WF ? Maybe if they "call it in" / borrow WF can provide better imaging and an ASET and confirm the condition is still Vs1 during the trial period ?

if you have some time to wait / look more - you can likely find something better

 

[freddyboston]

currently WF does have 3 Super Ideal cut 3c+ ACA's in your price zone....



and there is that decent cut 4.29 ct I VS2 with the strong blue ( $$ for the size and color it's a very good deal $45k )

Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I requested further videos of the diamond I have shared as well as some commentary on whether it was a trade in or not. I have read that "darkness" in sunlight can be a sign of a really good cut of the diamond, which (at least based on the certificate) is the case for that diamond.

I am also looking at these two H colors here

1) https://www.stonealgo.com/diamond-details/GIA-number-5231558602 (Cut Score 8.9)

2) https://www.stonealgo.com/diamond-details/GIA-number-7521351108 (Cut Score 7.7)

the 3.7 H VS1 is better proportioned/cut of those 2.. it's not perfect but it's not a dud.
