Hi Guys,
Thanks for looking at my post. I am new to this all but I have done a fair bit of research, and I am looking to buy my first diamond ring.
The stone that I am looking at is as follows:
1.01‑carat Diamond, Round, X,X,X , H‑colour, VVS1‑clarity , faint florescence , price ~£5.5k
I've entered the details of the cut into the HCA calc and I get a 1.8 score, which I understand is quite good:
62.6% depth, 56% table, 36° crown angle, 40.6° pavilion angle.
Couple of questions, I appreciate some may be no brainers but please bare with a noobie:
1) The diamond has a few pin points. The diamond is VVS1 so these should not really be visible with the naked eye, is that correct?
2) The diamond has faint fluorescence, I've read that for stones below colour G this can help which is good. But is there anything else to be worried about regarding this?
3) How does the price seem to you guys? Compared to others of a similar category it seems to be well priced, its the only one I found with a good HCA score
4) Am I right in thinking a 1.8 is good on the HCA scale?
Thank you for your patience.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the stone is GIA graded.
