New to diamonds, need expert opinions

[cjhom]

Hi guys,

I'm totally new here and I've been researching diamonds for a couple weeks now. I've come across this diamond and was wondering what caliber diamond this falls into. I have some images to share. Supposedly it's an excellent cut. It's considerably cheaper than another option i was looking at with almost identical specs so i'm wondering if this diamond is lacking somewhere that I can't see. The jeweler told me this diamond is visually more appealing than the more expensive diamond.. which blows my mind!

You can see that it has some slight leakage under the table but I dont think it will be an issue in real life. If you're not looking
for super ideal then I think this is a nice stone. Is the price decent?

Thank you for the reply! I haven't gotten an official quote yet but it will probably be around $6.5K.
Here's a video of the diamond, any thoughts would be appreciated!

I cant really tell much from the video...it's so far away. I checked JA and $6.5 looks to be a pretty good price.

Based on the information and the pictures you provided, I would say that this is a decent stone, although the depth % and Crown Height are not super ideal. However, the biggest issue in my view is the light leakage under the table. I think you can probably find another stone with better light returns.
