Help please. What do these pics mean? Good or bad diamond?

[louey8888]

Hi,

I'm about to buy an engagement ring and I've chosen this diamond, the sellers sent me these pics but I have no idea what any of it means. After hours of internet research I need help because I am no closer to understanding if this is an awesome diamond or a rubbish one.
Thank you so much for helping me out.

Lou

The proportions numbers, images and report/certificate are too small to really read.
Based on the little that I can see, it has potential. Scores .7 HCA which is a good start and the images don't look bad, they're just far too small to see the detail you need.
Can you reattach larger or post a link? That would help everyone seeing this.

It looks great, but larger images to really assess the H&A would be helpful. That said, the images from this distance look... almost too good. What vendor is it from? (it bugs me that they spelled ASET as "Asset")

Thanks heaps for your help.

I'll put up the GIA cert and some enlarged pics but they aren't very clear and all I've got unfortunately.

The diamond is from Bluenile and I've never bought one sight unseen so any help is really appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Hopefully the attachments aren't to blurry

Hopefully you can judge from this

Looks very nice, but let's have others chime in to confirm.

How are you getting this info from BN? Did they get it from the vendor holding the stone? You typically can't get this much info/images from BN, but it's what you need to make a solid decision.

It is very nice.

however, I wonder if you can get like an I VS2/SI1 for the same price?

Re: Help please. What do these pics mean? Good or bad diamon

I don't think I can afford an I color. Vs2.
It's getting set in a floating halo ring so hopefully the j color looks good and the side is partially hidden so the color won't show as much.
I just enquired about that diamond at blue Nile and asked for a picture and they sent me that.

Can anyone tell me what colors mean what in those pictures? Is there a good chance this diamond will be sparkly? Or dull?
Thanks

There's an even dispersion of red across the entire stone which indicates good light return. Optical symmetry is also good with well-shaped hearts and arrows, indicating a more precise/ideal cut. Should be a nice, bright stone.
