I am looking at a Blue Nile diamond. Since Blue Nile does not supply pictures, I am hoping there are some people who can give me their opinion on whether or not this diamond is worth buying.

Here's the link: http://www.bluenile.com/round-diamond-1-carat-ideal-cut-i-color-vs2-clarity_LD02084780

I have already run it through HCA and it scored 0.8 TIC.
The only con (that I can tell) about this diamond is that all the inclusions are in one spot. Although, since it's a VS2, this shouldn't matter right?

Thanks in advance
 
A vs2 should technically be eye clean. I would really rather have the inclusions to the edge. On the other hand, it makes identifying your diamond easy under a microscope!

Peacewarrior, I think you had a typo in your calculation (you put a comma in the width, rather a point). When I run the numbers, the AGA/NAJA cut grade tool comes up with a 1A total score for OP's BN #LD02084780 stone - solid 1As in every category - and reflecting the stone depth of 61.99% (which matches the GIA report).

OP - it looks to be a great stone, and love the strong fluor - but since the inclusions are in the center of the table, I'd go through the process of asking BN to confirm the stone is eyeclean and the crystals are not dark, and that the fluor does not make the stone to go hazy in any lighting conditions.
