Hello, I am a longtime lurker, trying to learn as much as I can.

I''m going for size more than quality in this diamond, but I still want a decent diamond.

Here''s the specs:

Shape: Princess
Carat weight: 2.01
Cut: Ideal
Color: I
Clarity: VS1
Certificate: GIA

Depth: 73.0%
Table: 72.0%
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
Girdle:
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Strong
Measurements: 6.93*6.82*4.98
Ratio: 1.02

The rep said the strong Fluorescence doesn''t hurt the diamond, makes it appear more white if anything.

Do they have it in front of them? sometimes strong can cause a hazy or milky appearance too.

Hmmm, do you have any other options? what is your budget? maybe some of us can help you find some

Yeah, they looked at it and said the fluorescence helped it appear white.

My budget is about $7500-$8500, some help would be greatly appreciated!

It's going to be tough in the 2 carat range for your budget for great cut

The fluorescence is likely to help as they said, it very rare for it to hurt.
The cut is

though and the price seems very low for a 2 carat. You may be better off with a well cut 1.5 Carat.

Hi jb

This is a '' commercial'' cut quality Princess by the look of it, the stone isn''t cut to top standards. Do you have a photo of the diamond too please?
