Hello!
This is my first post and I just wanted to start off by saying thank you so much for all the help the past two years. It was 2 years ago this month that I began researching about diamonds (for my soon to be fiance’s engagement ring) and I came across this website. From her engagement ring, to her wedding band, to her tennis bracelet I gave her on our wedding day, this site has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Now, it’s our one year aniversary and I wanted to get her a 0.5 carat solitaire pendant. My budget is not high, but I’ve spent the past two weeks researching as much as I can. I found a diamond that is far from perfect, but it’s in my budget and was hoping for some input and opinions. I went ahead and put it on hold just in case!
The diamond is:
0.5 carat round brilliant (GIA)
H Color (it’ll be in a yellow gold setting)
SI2 Clarity (Crystal, Feather)
3X Cut Polish Symmetry
No fluorescence
57% Table
61.4% Depth
34.5 Crown Angle
40.6 Pavillion Angle
HCA score of 0.8
I can definitely see the inclusions (I’ll attach a picture of the diamond) but with it being 0.5 carat and cut well, how well will I see them in person? I’m hoping with a HCA score of 0.8 that it’ll sparkle so much that I won’t notice. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
