Newbie here. Help! Worth buying?

[salster]

Hi!

I am looking for the perfect diamond to be set on a tacori 2620. I have learned so much on here but it's also making it harder to decide. I think I have a diamond in mind but I would appreciate it if I can have your input! Everyone is so knowledgable on here that it will greatly put me at ease. The budget is 17k-18k and preferred specs: 1.7 G VS1-VS2 Triple X. The online vendor can only provide me with the diamond image. There are no other helpful images like idealscope available. Here are the specs of the diamond I'm considering:

1.72
color G
clarity VS2
depth 61.5%
table 59%
crown angle 35.5
pavilion angle 40.6
no fluorescence
hca 1.5



Please let me know your input! Suggestions on other diamonds are welcomed. THANK YOU!

Specs are good. I would want an idealscope if I was spending that kind of money. Are you married to that vendor?

SI1 but it is very likely to be eyeclean: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.70-carat-g-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-278757

The stone was posted on 3 websites. I have the stone on told with B2C Jewels and they are willing to price match. They don't have an idealscope image available, however, they said once I place the order and they receive the stone, their in-house gemologist can provide this information. I read so many good things about B2C Jewels. If I am unhappy with the purchase, I can always return it? I am torn!

The stone you suggested looks great but I would like to stay in the VS1 or VS2 range. Any other suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

It looks good

It also looks good to me th e crown angle is .1 larger than ideal so that is negligible I would also like to see ideal scope. Buy one they are $50 if your going to order the stone anyway. I also ponder the vs1 but if that's what you feel comfortable with go for it.

Thank you for all the replies! Can you tell from the image if the stone is eye-clean?

Heidi, what do you mean you pondered the VS1?
