I want to propose to my partner and am looking to buy a ring. Specifically, I know my partner is keen on getting an asscher diamond - which, I have now realised, adds to the challenge of buying! I'd like to set it in a platinum solitaire ring.
What I'm aiming for:
Here's a few diamonds that I found - it would be great to get your opinion on these. Any feedback on my searching skills is appreciated as well - besides trawling the internet for a few days I have little experience with this!
Specific questions I have:
While widening my search parameters I came across this asscher diamond. I think it looks quite good, with the only downside that it's a J colour. Would you consider this?
What I'm aiming for:
- Size: 6mm+ w/l (~1.3+ carat)
- Budget: 7-10k USD for the diamond
- Timeline: preferably by March
- Cut: table <65%, depth <70%
- Colour: H+
- Clarity: VS2+

Specific questions I have:
- Is the "blackness" in an asscher diamond when looking at the table face-on considered bad?
- These diamonds are all VS2+, but some have inclusions in the centre of the table - would they still be eye clean?
- How likely is an H colour to show up on a platinum setting in regular light?
