Opinion on this GIA graded diamond please

[Iloveblingnz]

I've come across this pre loved diamond (worn for a month) in a setting similar to what I would have chosen anyway...can you please review and advise? Setting is similar to a novo with pave diamonds, asking price for stone and setting 25k USD.

I'm asking for details on setting stones and idealscope for main stone in case they have it.

Thanks

Another loose stone for your advice too

I'm guessing ahead now I've just researched that you'll Prob say neither to both. 1st stone is high on HCA, second stone maybe the knot is a concern? Also when I ran the same stats in the pricescope search it returned a lot of G SI2 options for under 20k.

iloveblingz - a diamond with an SI1 rating will need to be seen in person (by yourself or someone at the dealer) to know if it is 'eye-clean' if that is something you desire. Just know that there are various definitions of 'eye-clean' out there so make sure you have a specific requirement.

By your posts, it looks like you are answering many of your own questions - but you will get plenty of help as well, I am sure the good folks here at PS can help you find exactly what you are looking for!

I would avoid SI2 in a 2 ct stone if possible. The table is really large on that second one aside from clarity concerns.

There is a guy right now on Rocky Talky who has a diamond ring he is trying to get rid of and it came from Good Old Gold which is a good sign. He can have GOG buy the diamond back for 25% off, so he might be willing to sell it for maybe 20% off.

Aside from that, I only use vendors who provide pictures, idealscope images, etc. such as Good Old Gold, WhiteFlash, James Allen, etc.

Thanks DS, I have said to that guy I would be keen if he sells the stone separately. Will stick to SI1 search from now on
