I came across this nice 0.92 ct, brillaint cut, I color, VS1 HRD certified diamond which I think I am getting a good deal on (around 3.8k USD). I still have to run couple of checks on the angles and percentages, but up front the report says that the proportions are "Very Good" while the finish grade is "Good".
What does a "Good" finish grade mean on an HRD certificate? Should I go for this one or keep looking for one which has proportions "Very Good" and finish grade "Very Good" as well...would it cost more if I find such a stone?
Moreoever, I do not have a sketch of Inclusions etc for the diamond. How importnat is it for me to get it.
I am getting this one for personal use, maybe set in a ring, but I still want to keep the good resale value option in mind.
 
There is little difference between "Very Good" and "Good" on HRD Finish grades:

"Very Good" = No or negligible symmetry-deviations and or finish faults
"Good" = the symmetry deviations are hardly perceptible

On a VS1 the plot of inclusions is not so important - as the diamond is below 1 carat - many suppliers do not provide the detailed inclusion plots that accompamy 1+ larger carat diamonds.
