Nope, too deep in the pavilion at 41.4 degree.

If you really want to buy from BN, try this instead.

It won''t be colorless white like D-F, probably some slight tinge of color. Not that obvious when it is a well cut stone. Also depends on how color sensitive you are, I am totally not, so it looks fine to me.

Check out this video, all the stones are well cut and you can see how slight the color difference is especially table up.

Pass on this one Wendy, also such a steep pavilion angle is highly undesirable with a J colour as it will make the stone show more colour due to colour entrapment issues and possible leakage, you can do better.

Also use the video SC posted as a guide only, a computer monitor cannot accurately depict colour nuances, if you are unsure of your own preferences go view some in person.
