Dear PSers,

I'm looking for a best value diamond with high quality cut and ~8K budget. After searching through a few vendors, I now have my eyes set on this one from Blue Nile: https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD14047235

1.41ct/3EX/I color/SI1

proportion seems very ideal, with an HCA score of 1.3:

Before purchasing it, I'd like to ask folks opinions here. Especially because it is an SI1, I want to make sure it is eye clean. I've asked BN to have it inspected by a gemologist, and will post update here. Let me know what are your thoughts on this one. Many thanks!

It looks good. Has all the right numbers. It has a lot of little feathers on the girdle but I dont think they should be an issue with
a med to slightly thick girdle. Ask BN gemologist for assurance though.

@tyty333 thanks! I'll check the feather issue with their gemologist!

@caf yes I've asked BN to put it on hold for me :kiss2: I have two days to make a decision.

I checked the video from your link! I like this stone and for what it’s worth, it is really a good value. I have an 1.18ct ACA from WF, I, si1 stone and yours is about $700 more! Yes, yours Is larger than mine at 1.41 ct, 7.16mm x 7.20mm. But compare the WF ACA Diamond..1.408 ct I si1 priced at $9,600. So price wise BN is very good. I don’t think I am allowed to post WF link, but you can check yourself on their website.
