In need of guidance -- First time buying a diamond!

[MightyMous3]

Hello fellow PriceScopers,

It's my first time on the forum and need your guidance. I am planning to propose to my girlfriend and need you opinion on a diamond I am considering. I have done months of research on the 4 C's, ideal proportions and studying light performance; however, I have long ways to go before I can confidently assess a good diamond. The diamond I am considering has the following specs:

GIA certified
Carats: 1.62
Cut: 3X
Colour: G
Clarity: VS2
HCA Score : 1.3
Fluorescence: Faint

I'll attach the GIA proportions below along with the ideal scope images. I understa nd the crown angle is slightly steeper than ideal, but from what I understand, a pavilion angle of 40.6 could make up for that. If you could please take a look at the ideal scope pictures I took and let me know if it's any good.

Thank you!
AA

It looks decent, but I see haze. Is that just the pictures? What is the price?

Thanks for the reply!

I took the picture with my phone. It was clear in person. Unfortunately I couldn't get a better quality picture or ASET image.

Price was in the 14,000 USD range.

Not sure if these are any clearer, but here are more idealscope pictures.

This seems a bit overpriced for a non-super ideal 1.3. You could get a bigger one from WhiteFlash (which comes with upgrades that only require $1 more to be spent, etc), and is guaranteed to be a top performer.

Here are some WF options:

Another company that we often recommend is high performance diamonds (HPD). same amazing policy as whiteflash for upgrades, and guaranteed outstanding performers. Here are 2 options in the same size range but cheaper (and about 95% of being a better performer than the one you linked)
