Help for the first diamond ring!

[shp1126]

Hi everyone. can I please have your advice on selecting my very first diamond stone.

I live in Australia and my budget for the stone is around USD $11000 (excluding gst/vat/tax).

I would like to get something 1.4x carat, round shape, preferably F-G color, VS2-SI1 clarity, with excellent cut.
I will most likely get Tiffany style solitaire in white gold/ platinum.

Here is one of my findings. With limited knowledge, I quite like this one..
Please let me know if I should pass this or not.

1.40 carat, round shape, G color, VS2, HCA scored 0.6, GIA report will be in next post

Very nice piece. It could be a well performing diamond. Do you have a scope images to see?

Hi YoLaL, thanks for the reply! This diamond is listed in 3 different vedor’s website and non of them can provide a scope image...

When I contacted one of the vendor, they said this is eye clean, excellent luster grade , no color tinges..

Would this give better idea on this gem??

Hi @shp112
Apologies for a long overdue reply
For this big amount I rather have the scope to see before you can pull the trigger. Certificate wont tell you much about the ligth performance of the diamond.

Did you try to ask them why they cannot produce the scope images or the actual photo of the diamond.
