Opinion: Round 0.89 G VS2 Hearts and Arrows

[quinty70]

Hi guys,

I'm on the hunt for a beautiful diamond to use in an engagement ring for my gf and found a great looking stone on Whiteflash today.

I would very much appreciate your expert opinions on this stone (based on the provided idealscope/aset etc). Is there anything to be concerned about in this stone? (feel free to be harsh!)

Here is the link to the stone on Whiteflash - http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3236256.htm

Thank to all in advance in helping me pick a beautiful stone

Nothing at all, it looks beautiful! Great colour and clarity also. What setting are you thinking of getting?

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated!

I notice on the "Hearts" image provided for this diamond that there is some coloration at 5 and 6 o clock... Is this something to be concerned about? Is there any other aspects that are abnormal or should be examined more closely?

I'm tossing up between one of these two settings from WF...

18k White Gold "Petite Open Cathedral"

Or...

18k White Gold Ritani French-Set Diamond Band
http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/ritani-classic-shared-prong-diamond-engagement-ring-2245.htm

I think both of these are beautiful settings, however I like the first one because of its uniqueness of the band not "connecting" to the centre basket... But on the other hand, I wouldn't be sure if this would catch more often on clothing etc... Anyone with this setting have any opinions or comments?
