It scores well (<2) on HCA, which is a good sign. Can you get an ASET image as well?


Not sure why the ‘looks like size’ box isn’t working ...

Thank you for your feedback. I currently just have the GIA report and the picture of the heart and arrows I attached. I saw the stone in person looked beautiful just wanted to get the expert's opinion.

Specs look solid to me and that's as clean a VS2 as you'll find. Photos look decent. Would be nice to get a video but I'm assuming you're dealing with an independent jeweler so you'll have to trust your eyes. I don't know enough to comment on the
pricing.

Just found the video, strange how this website also has the diamond listed on their website.

Most stones are not owned by the vendor advertising them (unless its a branded cut). They are owned by someone else and are in a database
that vendors can use to load and advertise the stones hence you can find a stone on multiple sites.

Put the stone on hold so it does not get sold out from under you.

I currently put a hold on it. I'll be buying it end of this week.

Make sure your vendor has a good Returns policy, in writing, just in case there are any issues that are only apparent when the stone is in your hands.

It might be on loan to your jeweler - because if he owned it, there's no way it would be for sale on adiamor. I wouldn't wait too long to buy it if you really like it.

Unless a vendor owns the actual stone in inventory, that same stone can still be sold by another vendor even if you put it on "hold". This happens more often than people think - I've had multiple friends and colleagues lose stones they've had on hold with BN for instance.

You're right it is on a loan to the jeweler the owner of the stone is a wholesaler that only sells so jewelers. I put a deposit on it just need to pick out the setting.
