Put this diamond on hold...opinions please

[Atticus4182]

Please give me your opinion on the following diamond on hold at whiteflash. Talked with Bob on the phone...said main inclusion is a cloud under the table...but he said it wouldn''t affect the brilliance at all. He said it is a borderline vs2. Please tell me if i have a winner.

Magnified image looks really clean.
I like the G/SI1 combo, nice price point.

The crown angle of 35, with 40.8, seems a little steep to me - but the Sarin results differ a little and look really good, so it looks good to me.
HCA gives AGS cert angles a 1.5 within TIC.
What does Bob say about it''s performance?

Scintillating..

I wanted to clarify, for HCA fans, that GIA rounds the numbers on their reports, so the 35.0 in this case is consistent with the 34.8 from the Sarin report.

GIA will report any crown angle from 34.76 to 35.24 as 35.0. A small detail, but worth noting I think.

bob didn''t really comment on its performance .....but he told me it was a great stone at a great price and recommended it

Any other opinions would be greatly apreciated....

Thanks for pointing that out John, I'd heard/read that, but I guess I hadn't fully internalized what it meant.

Atticus, It looks like a beautiful stone.
And if Bob recommended it I'm sure it's a good one.

Scintillating...

You're welcome.

They round to 0.2 on the pavilion so Sarin and grading report are the same as often as not, but the crown is rounded to nearest 0.5, so the numbers differ more and can use a bit of clarification sometimes.

Atticus, we just examined the diamond for you and you should be getting a call or email.

Just got a call from Katie....she mentioned that you were "blown away" by the stone...i hope my reaction will be the same
