im ok with a K color because i am setting it in a rose gold.gm89uk|1478898558|4097171 said:The proportions are much better (not within the famously quoted range) but could still be a very pretty stone for the right price. More concerning is the clarity (and colour). You'd have be extremely lucky to have found a nice I1.
I can see you're maximising size, is there a minimum size you want within a particular budget? The good people here can you help you find something decent in your budget.
Are you sure the recipient would be happy with a K?

What is your budget for the diamond?

Also, make sure it is eye-clean, and not milky/cloudy from "the clouds not shown"
The price seems reasonable. Potentially a great stone. BUT
Proceed with caution.
AGHHHH now this is why extra eyes are good because to me and my husband it looks perfectflyingpig|1478900466|4097192 said:The stone is cloudy. PASS!! I can see.
And the report says the clarity is based on clouds.

Very close to the 8mm mark.
I think it's a very good deal for the spec and the GIA cert doesn't specify that it's light brown (rather than yellow). It appears reasonably well cut from the picture and in my opinion, much better cut than the first one you posted. Be useful if b2c can provide an idealscope.
Out of interest:
I don't normally suggest IGI but I came across this diamond in my JA search and seems quite promising, I can't see anything obviously very wrong with it at that budget for that size. Just an interesting size for that price. It was probably sent to IGI for an unclear reason. If it's too good to be true it probably is.

Playing it safe though the 1st diamond seems a good bargain.
