Hello and thanks in advance for any advice you can help with!
My boyfriend recently took me to look at rings and while we were at a jeweler, the guy brought out a couple of diamonds for us to look at. We've looked at them before and I try to scope out as much info as I can so that we dont get taken advantage of, but we happened across a diamond that was unexpected. Usually I would be against SIs because I had normally assumed you could see all the inclusions. Well, I had been shown a couple and spotted everything even with the loupe. Until one came out..
The Specs
.90Ct
F Color
SI1 Clarity
Very Good Cut
X/VG Polish&Symm.
Inclusion: Feather Finish
HCA Calc: ALL Excellent, the score it was given was 0.8
Now, once I was shooed away so my boyfriend could talk about "details" I forgot to ask for the GIA Report #, so I cant unfortunately share that with you, but hope the info I provided was at least somewhat helpful. Standing up against an E, I noticed NO color difference and it was actually significantly bigger looking then the same size (.9ct) triple X E stone I was looking at (and $1500 diff!) I also want to note that when looking at the diamond (even with the 10x) I could not even find an inclusion which actually made me a bit nervous.. I closely examined the surrounding edges and didnt see anything except a couple of white flecks more to the center but barely even noticeable. My question is should we go for it? Their price was 5600 for it, which seems a little high after doing a bit of research? I dont want to pay too much for it and I also dont want the durability to be an issue (I plan on wearing this sucker everywhere!) I've read the forums and whatnot about feather finishes, which has helped comfort me a little but any and all advice you can give is much appreciated!
Thanks again!
Amanda
