Hi, the diamond scores well on the HCA so that means it's worth considering- usually its best to get an ASET to check light performance but Blue Nile doesn't provide these, as far as I know. It also doesn't have numbers that fall within ideal parameters, here's a cheat sheet to help you sift through stones:

Stick with these numbers for GIA XXX stones (or go for AGS certified 000 as their light performance has been checked),

table: 54-58

depth: 60-62.3

crown angle: 34-35.0 (up to 35.5 crown angle can sometimes work with a 40.6 pavillion angle)

pavilion angle: 40.6-40.9 (sometimes 41.0 if the crown angle is close to 34)


If you give us some more details we can help you find something. Is this for an engagement ring? Do you need size, i.e. above 1 carat? Does it have to be E VS1? A G VS2 will face up white and eye clean:
