Hi Hokey

The sizes you mention above are in fact carat weights. It might be a challenge finding a diamond of that size for 4k, are you looking for a round diamond?

I don't think SB offer Idealscope images but you could ask, you would also need to ask if the diamond is eyeclean to your standards and also check that the grade setting cloud isn't impacting brilliance. This diamond has a cavity mentioned, you would need to check this isn't a potential durability issue ( rare but best to check). The diamond has strong blue fluorescence which can be a nice bonus in an I colour I think, check it isn't making the stone look cloudy, SB's would be able to check all this for you.

I would definitely want to check this one out Hokey, if it is eyeclean and the above points I mentioned not an issue then it could be a definite option. Contact SB and ask them about it.

He called and they dont offer any images. Someone will call us back with the verbal info. If you can find any others, that would be great!!! Thanks

Ok, let us know what happens with this one.

Would you consider J colour? If so that gives more options.

Be sure to check with the diamond above as the clarity is based on clouds which are not shown, in SI clarities this can impact performance but ask for one of JA's gemologists to check it for you.
