will it look dull on the 4.9 score from HCA?

Have you seen it in person? You can do much better for the price.

I personally like E-F-G and on a round brilliant, I'd even go down to an eye clean SI1 or even 2 with verification from a person that performance isn't impacted.

i bought this online, and i am not aware of the HCA before hand. diamond is still on shipping.

You bought a classic "steep-deep" stone. It will almost certainly have light leakage due to the uncomplimentary angles.

will it look dull on the 4.9 score from HCA?

For about the same price you could get this stone, which is much better cut:

1.01 ct F VS2 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamond

Much, much better! Good crown/pavilion combination...table and depth are good range.

 

[dan1990]

so colour is not that important after all? the most important is to have super ideal cut?

 

[skypie]

Most people on this forum value cut over all else, but it really depends on what the diamond owner prioritizes. Is he/she color sensitive? Will seeing some tint really bother the wearer?

I can almost guarantee no one can tell the difference between a G and H. Also, going for VVS1 or VVS2 is overkill I think...you can get away with eyeclean VS1 or VS2 and get an even larger stone for the same money.

That one is more promising. As for clarity, for some people the diamond has to be "mind-clean". That may be where you're coming from. Otherwise a VS or even SI1 eye-clean stone will perform as well as VVS. Buying a diamond is all about compromise. Ex: I like RB stones to be colorless and I can easily discern color differences so I sacrificed on size. You may or may not want to compromise on clarity. Figure out what's important to you.

As for how much you would pay, do a search at the top of the page for diamonds with the same specs.
