Opinions on Diamond for newbie please.

Hello,

I have been lurking for the past few weeks. I have come across this diamond. I don''t have any other pictures of images nor can I get them. The diamond was beautiful and eye clean (from a novice diamond searcher). Below is the GIA report and I inputed the numbers into the HCA program. It seems the table is a little large, what does that mean?

Hi geo,

The table''s not big, it''s fine. And actually, everything looks fine by this info. If you didn''t, I would suggest looking at it again, in natural light, like by a window. If you still can''t see any inclusions, and you like the look of the stone and the price, I''d say go for it!

Ditto...just look at the stone from the sides as well to check the inclusions.

Thanks. I will check it again in natural light. I guess I just needed a little confirmation. I feel better now.
