Hello, I've been search for a engagement ring for my girlfriend for the past month or so. I must say PriceScope has given lots of valuable information and advice and I am forever thankful to this community. I'm currently looking at purchasing a diamond from BlueNile. I've done my search on table %, depth %, crown/pavilion angles etc.. since Bluenile does not have images of their ideal diamonds to see. Here are the specs on the diamond, what does everyone think, is this a good diamond?
----------------------------------------------
Carat: 1.4
Cut: Ideal
Colour: H
Clarity: VS2
Depth %: 62.4
Table %: 54
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle med to slightly thick
Culet: none
fluorescence: none
Measurements: 7.16 x 7.20 x 4.48 mm
Using the provided HCA on pricescope:
Light Return: excellent
fire: excellent
Scintillation: very good
spread: very good
total visual perf: 1.5
Price: $11,463
-------------------------------
Also, I spoke with a BlueNile rep and was looking at this 1.55k ($11 744) - http://www.bluenile.com/ca/diamond-search?track=NavDiaSea#diamonds_pid=LD03039314
and was surprised to learn that even though it is an SI1 - the gemologist/cutter (where the diamond is housed) said there was a eye visible inclusion on it. After hearing that I took this one off my list. She assured me that anything VS and up, would have no eye visible inclusion (will be eye clean).
FYI, i've done searches on other sites such as White Flash, GOG, etc.. but I found that BlueNile had what i wanted in my price range:
Max for loose diamond (up to $12,000). Also I live in Ontario Canada so I don't feel GOG, and other jewelers mentioned on this site are realistic for me unless I fly out there.
