I put these number in HCA and it got 1, Ex Ex Ex Ex.

Its price is only 1264 so I wonder what problems it may have. Please advice, I want to purchase it.
Thank you for any suggestion!
 
Looks like a nice find from the numbers!

BN has a generous return policy, if interested have it shipped out and take a look in person, your eyes are the best judge
 
It does sound like a great diamond.
 
Thank you Yssie and Marcy, so you don't see any problems with numbers (the Crown Height, Pavilion Depth etc, I don't know any thing about them but sometimes I see your experts comment about how they affect the diamond). Actually I bought an 0.37 D IF and now exchange to this bigger stone, the 0.37 is very nice (it also got 1.2 HCA with 4 EX) but I like bigger stone, so I found this one. I really hope I don't have to return it again as I feel very guilty to do so.
 
It sounds great. The numbers add up, with an excellent cut and vs2 the stone should shine and sparkly like mad! Also- an I will face up nice and white.

Congrats on finding this stone :bigsmile:

Definitely take advantage of the return policy and have them ship it out to you- use your EYES! I can't say it enough- sometimes- most times- the best tool is your eyes. It will be your stone, on your hand, something you will be staring at in all lighting, all locations/situations. Make sure it puts a sparkle in your eye! :D
 
Thanks AmyBling, I have confirmed my purchasing this diamond :)

People, I change my mind again, I am now set to a 0.61 F VS2 1546$. I think it will be too much for me to drop from D to I :D.

Do you think the I is a little narrow? And how do you think about this F?
 
numbers on the F look fine too, do you have an IS/has your rep evaluated the stone in person? How visible is the SBF, and is this an effect you enjoy?

and what do you mean by "is the I narrow"?
 
These stones are from Blue Nile and not their Signature Idea so they don't provide me IS. Actually I like fluorescence, I just worry that it maybe over blue, when I ask their customer service they say it should be OK. I know I can not totally rely on their saying.
I ask if the I is a narrow diamond because I see their combo 58T/33.5C/41P is similar to the combo someone on PS suggested to find suitable diamonds for earrings.
 
both are promising stones, the numbers would make for a fine ring-diamond.

some prefer certain nuances over others for certain purposes - rings vs. earrings vs. pendants - but they're just that, nuances. Both stones you are considering are of balanced proportions and, assuming all checks out, would be lovely in a ring :))
 
Thank you Yssie, I will post the ring when I get it :)
 
np, looking forward to seeing it!
 
BN has hold the F for me but now they just send me an email saying that it became unavailable :((. Now I need to choose the diamond again!
