Hi! I am a newbie look for a ring for my wife. I have read a lot on all those 4Cs but when comes down to choosing a diamond with fire and sparkle, I am totally lost (in fact the more i read, the more confused i become). I have looked through Bluenile and chose a few choices within my budget and hope you guys can give me some recommendations which I should pick or if there are better choices in Bluenile.

I may mount it on a rose gold setting but i am not sure if the color difference is that great. (quite visible to me on the photos but i am not sure if that matters in real life). The setting will likely be a very simple design without side stones. I am not particularly choosing one with very good clarity but it just happens the price difference doesn't seem significant when i move up the clarity ladder.

I tried HCA but I can't quite understand how I can comprehend together with other characteristics of these diamonds.

I would really appreciate if you can offer your kind advice. Thanks a lot!
 
Your choices seem a bit all over the place in terms of colour and clarity. Have you seen a K colour in real life?

Can I ask what the purpose of the ring is? Engagement? Anniversary? Does your wife have any preferences?

Read this as a starter, there is a lot of other info under the Knowledge tab above,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I compared a K vs I vs F in a shop. I am able to tell the difference if i do side by side comparison. But not so much if I look at them at a distance especially when individually. (Do note that the lighting of the shop is yellowish).

Yeah, I will be happy to share the purpose of this ring. I didn't have much money when I got married so this should have been the engagement ring i gave to my wife but now it has become like anniversary many years later. I asked my wife but i think she should be even more confused than me and her preferences kept changing..... but i guess fire and sparkle should be something she wants and when compare size to color, she seems to be inclined more towards size.
 
I’d recommend an h color and you could go down to eye clean Si1.

What is your budget?
 
Depth 60-62.3

Table 54-57

Pavilion 40.6 to 40.9

Crown 34-35

I prefer a depth closer to under 62.

Around USD 8k. I did a search in Bluenile and that gives me the max size of around 1.4.

I am not sure how to tell if a diamond is eye clean. The 360 view in Bluenile magnifies the stone and i find those inclusions quite noticeable. not sure whether i can notice in real life though.

If i put it in rose gold setting, will the color matter so much?

Do you think any of these 3 are worth considering or i should look at a different direction?
 
This is a little smaller than the Blue Nile, but guaranteed to be an excellent performer. Are you in the UK? You can have this stone shipped to see it at the vendor that sells Crafted by Infinity and they can make a setting.

Another option, a bit smaller but you won't have to worry about performance.

Edit: on the note of rose gold, depends on the skin tone and if the wearer likes it. I don't look very nice in rose gold but I think it works fine with a k. I have had a k set in rose gold and I did not see that it made a difference. I think that's preference and the body tone of the stone. Some stones may show more color in rose, because they have a brown tint/modifier.

I agree with @whitewave to stick with nothing lower than H color and you can go for eye clean SI1. If you would feel better, than go with a VS2... but keep in mind just because a VS2 may, for example, have less inclusions, what it does have could be worse than the inclusions in an eye clean SI stone. I think IF is totally unnecessary and doesn't seem congruent with a K color. You don't see the clarity as long as nothing is eye visible, but you DO see the color.
Does your wife like rose gold? That is a specific choice and not everyone likes it or does it look good with certain skin tones. I don't think a stone as low as a K would work in a rose gold. I wouldn't go lower than H in a rose gold setting.
I do not like the 3rd stone as I don't like diamonds with tables that large. Also, it looks blatantly like there is light leakage and I don't like the K color so I would eliminate that, plus no point in paying for IF clarity on a stone with other issues as stated. I don't like the 2nd one because I would suggest you don't get a K color. As to the 1st one, I would like to see the HCA for that. I don't have an issue with I color, VS2 clarity... I think that makes more sense. It is a good balance. With that said, I am very color sensitive so I wouldn't go as low as I color because I had an I color previously and it was too tinted for me. You can easily see the tint on the image so you need to really consider this which is why I agree with @whitewave on the color issue. And then there is the issue of mounting it in rose gold. Not sure about that but others here may have experience in that pairing. I do see the 1st one has strong blue Fluorescence which could help mask some of the yellow in the I color diamond, but you need to confirm with them that there will not be a negative effect such as haziness or milkiness in certain lighting. Here, I just personally would never go beyond medium FL and that is only if I were considering a warmer color. I would not do anything beyond Faint FL for a colorless stone.
Please run the 1st stone through the HCA and report back to us.
 
Unless your wife has seen and is ok with I/J/K color, stick with H and eye clean SI1.

I am unable to upload the screenshot and I guess I just have to type here:
Cut Advisor score: 1.7
Light Return: VG
Fire: Excellent
Scintillation: VG
Spread: VG
HCA: 1.7 - Ex- within FIC range
Looks like size: small
Should sparkle beautifully, but looks small for its carat weight. If carat weight is important, this stone may be suitable. Confirm with an Ideal-scope, ASET scope or send to an appraiser.

Happy to hear your opinion if this is a good one or there is better out there

Thanks for the recommendation and also your opinion on the K diamond on rose gold! Unfortunately I am not staying in the UK. I am just struggling if the color factor matters to a normal person's eye or the bigger the better. after all, 1.7 or 1.8 carat seems to be a very attractive size

She has seen them but the lighting of the shops seem to affect her judgement as well as mine. The first shop she felt that even a F color stone looks yellowish while she was okay with a K in another shop.

When you mention eye clean SI1, what should look out for when browsing those SI1 diamonds?
 
Stay away from knots, cavities, chips, etch channels, feathers that break the surface, black inclusions, and only accept minimal clouds. Any other inclusions present are best if not smack in the middle of the table but it’s not a deal breaker depending on what they may be or the quantity of them. You can easily find an SI1 that will be good... as long as you cannot see with the naked eye and the inclusions it does have do not pose structural or other issues. With that said, when talking about the 1st stone you presented, the clarity on that VS2 is excellent... super clean stone and the very few clarity characteristics are ones you need not be concerned with. If you want to consider a different stone you may, as has been suggested, consider going to the clean SI1 and put your money into higher color as that will be seen, or put it into the size... I think a smaller, colorless (white) stone stands out over a larger one, but that’s my personal preference and priority - you have to decide what your minimum measurements must be regarding size. I also feel, as to color, to get the very best color you can but, again, that’s my opinion, one shared by many and also not of importance to many, you have to decide what is important to you. The more colorless, the more rare... important to some (such as myself), not so much to others. These are things to think about. I say all this in the context of getting a diamond with at minimum an excellent cut, so you need to make sure you’ve addressed that.
With regard to the issue of trying to get a read on her minimum color tolerance, you are right that the jeweler’s lighting makes everything look fabulous... you should ask the jeweler to allow you to take the stone into different lighting situations such as their back office where they don’t have fancy lighting, their bathroom, outdoors, etc. They will want to, understandably, want to accompany you outside but they should be willing to do so. They shouldn’t have anything to hide. Also really helpful would be for you do these light comparisons with a few different colors at the same time so you really have a basis of comparison side by side. And make sure they are all diamonds that have been graded by GIA to get a valid comparison. Otherwise you are not comparing apples to apples. Even AGS who has excellent cut analysis isn’t as consistent in color grading.
On that 1st stone for Spread I’m confused as to why it said it looks small for its size yet have it a Very Good. It’s table size of 58% and depth of 62.4% would not seem to me to appear as Small. The Very Good part sounds correct... perhaps you misread the part you click on to explain the “looks like” link??
Also, as mentioned previously about the fluorescence, ascertain that the Strong Fl will not be of issue... the jeweler should have the tool to view it and be sure. If no issues with that, the Fl will give the appearance of the I color on that stone to appear whiter which is good.
Size: 1.7 and 1.8 are very nice sizes. But the 1.55 is, as well. This is something you should be clear about with her. Unless someone has unlimited (no) budget, we all make concessions as to what we are willing to bend on based on what’s the most important.
You mentioned about to the normal person’s eye... I don’t know what you consider normal but the only person’s eye it matters to is the recipient of the ring.
For the HCA, some here only consider a score under 2 good enough to move on with it for further evaluation. For me, personally, I think the scores for light return, fire, and scintillation should all get Excellent but that’s my opinion... those are the performance categories. And the purpose of the HCA, as I understand it, is to assess how to angles work together. If you like the 1st diamond you I am sure you will be fine with 2 Very Good and 1 Excellent for those categories but if you decide to consider other stones you may want to keep that in mind.

201909021.jpg Thanks a lot for your detailed reply! That gave me very good directions to consider. I am attaching the screenshot as like u pointed out, i may misread some info regarding the "small" rating.

Regarding FL, so what specific question should I ask Bluenile to ensure it is not affecting the color?

It seems very difficult to find a stone with all Excellent in light return, fire, scintillation. Any easy way to filter these stones in Bluenile?
 
You should ask Bluenile directly and specifically if they have tested the stone to ensure that it will not be hazy/cloudy/milky upon exposure to UV. I am assuming there is a return period? I don't know how easy that will be for you to do a return??? Also, I don't know if the diamond is in-house, meaning they have it there in person. If it is part of their virtual inventory, they won't be able to give you specifics about questions like this. Do not let them quote you the GIA study on Fl because this is still controversial and it can affect the overall value of your stone depending on what decade we are in. I don't know about searching for all Excellents in the performance categories for the HCA on Blue Nile. I know on this website, Pricescope, there is a search feature and one of the categories has the HCA ratings listed so you can start there. I don't know if you are limited to what vendors you can get shipped to where you are. There may be Blue Nile listings amongst the PS search feature. I may be alone on my own island in wanting a stone that has excellent in those 3 performance categories of the HCA. I think some (many?) here believe as long as it is below 2 you are good to continue to pursue the "virtues" of that diamond. For me, however, getting a high rating for spread but not so much for performance does nothing for me. Perhaps Mr. Holloway will pick up on this and comment as he is the creator and the expert. So @Garry H (Cut Nut) please comment for us!!! With all that said, the normal course here on PS is that if it scores 2 or less on HCA, then you vet it further by getting ASET and IdealScope images to see if there is visible light leakage and how precise the cutting is. However, I do not believe Blue Nile offers those images. You should ask them if they can provide it. If you want to make life easier on yourself, you can purchase (if available to you where you are) from High Performance Diamonds from their Crafted by Infinity stones, or from Whiteflash and their ACA (A Cut Above) stones. These are both branded super ideal stones and you will be guaranteed to get the best light performance and precision cutting. Of course, they come at a price for their extensive craftsmanship. You can get from Whiteflash from their Expert Selection which are still very highly praised here on PS and they just ever so slightly missed the "cut off" from being A Cut Above but honestly many people do not feel you will see the difference, and those will be a little less expensive. Also, if you find a stone that is graded by AGS and it is an AGS0 (zero) grade, even if not a super ideal, you are pretty much good to go as far as a great stone is concerned... again, you will pay a little more because it is AGS graded. But I don't know if having the super duper best diamond ever is your priority. It seems like you would just like something pretty that sparkles that would be an upgrade from what she had previously. In that case, you should continue on in your quest to find a nice GIA XXX. If you can get a stone from Whiteflash sent to you where you live, they have an amazing upgrade policy so if this just "isn't the one", or if after a time you feel it is time to go even higher in quality, you can do so with ease. You can read about it on their website. You can also continue to post stones you find and people here will help you assess them. Also, if you would like for people to find you stones, they are happy to. Definitely go to the tool here on PS and it will specifically give you HCA stones that score excellent.

Once again thanks for your kind advice. I think I should be able to buy from other sites like Whiteflash and I was not familiar so I was more inclined to Bluenile. I will take a look at Whiteflash and HPD. Anyway, I found another stone, do you think this can be considered as eye clean?

I'd avoid this one bc of the very steep crown.

What does it score on the HCA? With a steep crown like that I would want ASET/ IS images to confirm performance, but BN doesn't do that. For that reason, I'd want to stick within the recommended parameters and have HCA under 2.

it was the one with the HCA score 1.7 in earlier post.

I am confused again. Should I opt for a higher color grade or a better HCA score... and do you think the SI2 looks eye clean to u?

There's no such thing as "better" on the HCA if it's under 2. My point is that gia rounds values, so even with an HCA under 2, I'd want to stick within the recommended parameters (table between 54-57, depth between 60-62.4, crown 34-35, pavillion 40.6-40.8.

This diamond has a cavity. You want to stay away from that. Even if it didn't have a cavity, to my eye it appears there are dark inclusions with reflections visible in the image. Whether that would be so when viewing the diamond in real life proportions, I cannot say yet I am inclined to say you will based on a diamond I had previously owned that looked like someone had sprinkled pepper all over it. Irregardless, this one is out based on the cavity.

I have some concerns over the after sales cleaning though as Whiteflash will require me to cover the outbound shipping as I dont live in the US or Canada

As @lovedogs always strongly points out, if you go with a WF ACA, you are not only going to get a fabulous, top diamond, you will also have the option of a great upgrade policy for the future. How that applies to being abroad you will need to discuss with them, as well as the issue of the shipping internationally. I would say, however, that better you spend extra to ship for a spectacular diamond than save on shipping and get something not as great and more uncertain (i.e., the struggle you are going through right now in your search) for something as significant as an engagement ring. As to color, I personally would not go past I color. Stick with the I color or above.
 
You don’t need Whiteflash to clean your diamond, any local, competent jeweller can do that for you, plus any routine maintenance that may be required.

Ha! I thought the reference was for shipping the diamond out internationally upon completion of sale! I didn't realize it was for regular daily things like cleaning, maintenance, etc!
 
You absolutely don't need to send your stone to them for cleaning. You can do it yourself with a toothbrush/Dawn soap or an untrasonic or have a jeweler do it.

Thanks! The diamond seems to have been sold. Anyway, for learning purpose, where is the cavity on the diamond, I don't seem to observe this or is there a special meaning on cavity in the diamond context?

And also thanks again for you and others on clarifying the cleaning part, that saves one of my concerns

Its on the GIA report. You'll see on the clarity plot that it lists "cavity' with a symbol, and then you can find the cavity on this given store.
