Hello All! It has been awhile since I have looked at some diamonds, but now is the time to pop the question! I am currently looking at a stone via an online dealer want to know what you all think about this stone:

1.52 ct
7.45 x 7.49 x4.5mm
Cut: AGS 000
Color: G
Clarity: SI2

Depth: 60.3%
Table: 56%
Crown Angle: 34.1 degrees
Pavillion Angle: 40.8 degrees
Girdle: Thin to medium


HCA: Ex Ex Ex Ex 0.9

Just trying to see if I should take the next step in actually moving forward with this diamond....thank you all so much!
 
the next step should be an IS image or ASET, then if things look good you're golden. AGS 000 and an HCA like that may amount to good things!
 
I would suggest photos of the stone under the microscope since it is an SI2. There are so many different types of inclusions in SI2 diamonds so you want to make sure it is eye clean, and what type of inclusions you will find in the diamond.

here is the diaond itself. Included is a picture and the AGS report. I know its not the most beautiful in terms of clarity, but it looks like most of the darker inclusions are off towards the girdle, while the table is fairly clear. There seems to be a few twinning wisps, etc, on the table, but this will not bother me as long as its eyeclean.

They are currently holding the stone for me as well as getting an Idealscope image.

I have also asked the gemologist to report back to be if the inclusions are eyeclean as well as it they effect the light quality of the diamond by a large margin. I do wish this were an SI1 though.

Thanks for your help!
 
Do they still have the virtual loupe that you can look at the stone and see what is in the plot?
 
I think you are speaking of the loupe on the top right hand side of the picture ofthe diamond on the website. Just click and drag it over the diamond. Is that what you meant?

Thanks!
