Hi everyone,
Like many threads I have flipped through, I have been trying to educated myself on the key characteristics for finding the right diamond online. That said, I thought I had it figured out and made the purchase confidently on Monday through JA (my order is still in process). Since Monday I have continued to do some research to further validate my purchase and stumble across this forum and the good'ol HCA score. Naturally I put the characteristics of the diamond I have (initially) purchased and wasn't too thrilled with the results, HCA of 3 (although based on the pictures it seems to be solid). This led me to trying to find a better diamond which I think I have based on the HCA score but is it really better so now I am torn as to what I should do. Since my order is still in process I think I can call them and make the right adjustments (if warranted).
I would very much appreciate this communities input!
Note that I was not initially looking for a D color stone but since it was within the budget and the flaws are prongable I was good with it.
Current stone - HCA 3
$10,990

Potential new stone - HCA 0.8
$10,730

Notes: should I worry about the color or since it has medium fluorescence the H color is not an issue?
Thanks in advance
