Need opinions on this 2.7 ct diamond

Not sure I am posting this correctly but does anybody see anything majorly wrong with this stone from James Allen? The price is $37,600. Thank you

Looks promising - have you run it through the HCA tool under the Tools tab to check it comes in under 2?

IMO, 62.6% is too deep. I draw the line at 62% depth...that just me.

But high crown! Small(ish) table! Short LGFs!!

HCA is 1.4
Is high crown, smallish table, short LGF’s good or bad? What is LGF?

Pretty stone. I personally would have issue with the number of black inclusions, but that’s just me.

Lower Girdle Facets are 75%, which means it will have 'fat arrows' under the table.

Those short LGFs increase coloured 'fire' (rather than white light return).

A high crown and a small table also increase the opportunity for 'fire', so with the LGFs being short as well, it should be a ball of coloured sparkles

HCA under 2 means the crown and pavilion angles work together as well, so I think all the angles and measurements stack up on this!

As above, you will need to decide if the inclusions will bother you / the intended recipient, though.

I'd go up to an F color for better clarity personally.

Thank you. I will look for a cleaner E/F stone.

I’m confused by this. Going up in color does not have any effect on clarity.

EDIT: I really need to learn how to read! I missed that the stone was a D ... so you must mean, go down in color so that you can go up in clarity within the same budget.

Sorry @OcnGypZ - I get it now and think it’s a great suggestion.

I think @OcnGypZ meant that OP should go down in color (e.g. not D), and up in clarity (e.g. a cleaner SI1 or a VS2).

I fixed it while you typed this @lovedogs - I was being a sloppy reader.

I would want to see IRL pics and see how clean it looks. I'd also want to see IS/ASET images.
