So I have another thread about my IGI diamond deal, that Igot out of.
So thanks for all the input on that one, but now that that one is not a problem, i have a new question.
Now I have another diamond I am looking at.
To me with my rookie eyes it seems to be a good buy. ( like I wrote in my other thread, I'm not looking for perfection, I dont have a budget for that)
Basically all I want is a diamont that still is an excellent choice, but it doesnt have to be all hearts and arrows and all that super serious stuff. For a reasonable price. I will be paying 1500$ for it. Oh and diamonds here are more expensive, I thought of getting one from usa but the taxes and custom dutys would make it a bad deal.
Iknow a grading report and HCA score doesnt say everything about it, but all you diamond intellectuals and experts probably can tell far more than I can from this.
I can add that I can't see the diamond before I buy it, and they dont use idealscope and such where Im from.
But afteer recieving the diamond, I can return it if Im not happy with it within two weeks of purchase.

HCA score 1.4. Heres the report, what do you think?

Anyone at all?
Is this worth buying, or at least looking at in person, or should I keep searching for another one.

You have the HCA score to go by, as a negative selection tool.

It appears to pass.

Someone more knowledgeable than me would need to state whether the GIA dimensions are on the border of any values which might dramatically affect the HCA value as the GIA dimensions are subject to rounding errors.

Nobody can say whether it is a good diamond or not, because no further information is available.

The most comfortable you could get on essentially a blind purchase are that on paper, the diamond *should* reflect light properly.

Thanks for the answer.
Ok so I need to have pictures of it to be sure it is a keeper. The AGA score is 1b, so it seems to be quite good, though not perfect? Or am I getting it wrong?

When I recieve it it's going to be wrapped up with the report, but i wonder how much you can see without taking it out....
