Opinion please for 0.80 ct RB

[steveMA]

Hi PS,
I've spent the past couple of month absorbing information on this site (thank you) and looking at a countless number of diamonds both online and in person. I've jumped around quite a bit with what I am searching for given that my budget is limited (2-3k for the stone). I've settled on a priority of not compromising with the cut and trying to be flexible on all other aspects in order to maximize my budget. With that said I think I have a hard limit on color (<=J), clarity (eye-clean), table (<=60%) and of course all while maximizing the spread....

I think I have finally settled on a stone but I wanted to post it on here to see if I am not missing any red flags.

Here is the info from the GIA cert for the round diamond I am thinking to purchase. It will be going into a white gold setting that is similar to this Taocri setting (http://www.tacori.com/engagement/2586rd6.html) but with smaller diamonds set on the band.

0.80 carat RB
5.95 - 5.97 x 3.70 mm
Color I
Clarity SI2
cut/pol/sym ex/ex/ex
Depth 62.1 %
Table 55 %
Crown Angle 35.0°
Crown Height 16.0%
Pavilion Angle 40.8°
Pavilion Depth 43.0%
Star Length 50%
Lower Half 75%
Girdle Medium, Faceted, 3.5%
Clarity Characteristics Crystal, Feather

I also have a couple of images that I've attached below. It would be great to hear any comments or concerns given the information listed.
Thank you again for this wonderful resource and wealth of knowledge.

I think there's a very visible inclusion in the middle of the table. It's best to avoid inclusions in the table area since it'll be very noticeable.

Wonderfully cut.

Does WF list the stone as eye clean?

 

[steveMA]

I don't want to name the vendor right off just incase there are any issues since I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them.

The vendor has confirmed is it eye-clean despite the inclusion on the table. They have rejected several diamonds that were perfect on paper for not meeting my eye-clean criteria so they have developed a level of trust with me in terms of their assessments.

Great. You have a very nice combo of diamond and setting. So long as it's eye clean, there are no other issues to mention at all.

BEAUTIFUL STONE!

That's a pretty setting, but I hope she doesn't do too much work with her hands as that stone is set very high.

Did she request Tacori?

If working with Whiteflash:

These two are similar and set lower: http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/ritani-modern-shared-prong-diamond-engagement-ring-2165.htm

The setting is actually from a local shop who is willing to set an outside stone. I would have also preferred to purchase the stone local as well but my money stretched much further online.

While we are on the topic... I have been a bit confused about the local band because it actually has the Tacori triangles on the side of the band but I am almost certain it is not a Tacori given the price (<1k) and it is 14k white gold. I stumbled upon the band and love it but I am a little weirded out that it may be some sort of knockoff. But considering I didn't even know what Tacori was when I originally saw the band I think it might be a perception issue at this point.

Gypsy - No requests from her end other than it sparkles. The BG valentine band you posted is wonderful.
