Finally think we have selected our stone, advice please! :)

[galatie]

Hi all,

I think after months of searching, we have finally narrowed down our search for an engagement ring!!!!!!!!!

There is one stone on U.S.A certed diamonds which I particularly like. They do not have idealscope or aset images for the stone, but they ca send it to a local appraiser before we purchase the stone.

2.40 carats
F colour
SI1
excellent cut
excellent polish
excellent symmetry
8.53 0-8.60 x 5.3 mm
table: 57
depth: 61.9
crown: 34.5
pavillion: 40.8
girdle: medium to slightly thick

It has an HCA score of 1.4. The only thing I am concerned about is:

1. the inclusions are right on the table - I've been told that the diamond is eye clean, should I still be worried about the inclusions?
2. GIA report saids under comments that "additional clouds are not shown" and "surface graining not shown". Is this something I should be worried about?
3. girdle goes from medium to slightly thick and is faceted - is this ok?
4. overall, is this a good stone? Anything I should be concerned about?

Looking forward to finally ending this search and getting my ring made, so any thoughts would be appreciated!

if you are concerned, definitely get it checked out by an independent appraiser to see if the clouds/surface graining have any negative effects.

When choosing a SI1 of course you cannot expect VVS1
Numbers are good. And SI1/F is a good choice. Very probably you will like the stone. You need to see it. And of course a good return policy is always very important.
