Help me with this diamond

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, Hudson123!
Looking at the video, it is cut and proportioned quite well.
It does appear to have a slight blue nuance (Type IIb diamond), in case you weren't aware of that.

Hi and thank you for the kind welcome! I am learning so much from this site! I have been wanting to upgrade diamond size for a while now.

To not have any blue nuance, what type do I need to look for? Thanks!
 
I love it! The blue is so slight that I doubt it'll make any difference IRL
 
Face up you can’t see the blue. It’s only evident from the side, and it’s very very slight. The blue comes from the slight presence of boron.

Type IIa diamonds don’t have a blue tinge, but beware as they can have undisclosed grey or brown tinges (as well as graining and striations which all lab diamonds can have).

This is my way of saying, if you’re ok with mentally knowing there’s a slight blue tinge which will be near impossible to see when looking at it en face, this is a great diamond.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
 
^ agree with lovedogs and 0515vision - if it is a Type IIb, then the blue nuance is very slight.
Unfortunately, it will be impossible to tell how the boron impurities will affect the appearance of the diamond in certain lighting/viewing conditions until you are able to view it with your own eyes in your own day to day environments.
 
@DejaWiz when looking at the video again, I stand corrected and agree with you. The tinge might be visible en face.

Mine has a slight blue tinge, so I’m partial to these stones.
 
Thank you! I think I need to see it in person.
