Sorry. Not a good stone at all. Crown is too low, pavillion angle too high. It's a leaky mess. If you are happy to post your budget and wants, we can show better choice.

Nice finding @sledge! At this budget, you can find super-ideals. I like the BG#1 and the WF 2.258 G VS2 (3965451). The color is the primary determinant of cost.

I suspect that if the search is for a D, maybe G or high H is the lowest to search. But, what say you OP?

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-4664841 (this is a larger and really nice stone. Color lowered to G and its a VS2. There are clouds in the notes, which need to be cleared by a gemologist, but I'm less concerned than if this was a SI stone. Inclusion at 11'oclock may be too visible, but you have have that placed under a prong and it will disappear}

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-3111062 {nice angles and really clean VS1. Clouds on comments, but shouldn't be an issue with a VS1. Inclusion at 8:30 would be covered by a prong between arrows. Really pretty in the video}

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-4710145 {beautiful. Great numbers. Small tables. Love it}

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...color-vs1-clarity-true-hearts-cut-sku-3499390 (great numbers. lovely diamond. Shows a bit more color, but the lighting in the video is very warm based on the background. Great light return. But, at this price, the WF option is a bit bigger and will be more precision cut}

I'd recommend you request IS images for the top 3 from JA if you like the look of them (AFTER YOU PUT THEM ON HOLD). Its free. Then, post the images here.

Hi freezing and welcome!

It's not dreadful but it isn't the best, if you want a well cut diamond you can do better than this one however. Did you want D colour and VS clarity particularly?

it's poorly cut diamond not worth buying
