I totally forgot whose ring it is but there is a gorgeous K on here with faint brown on the GIA report. I remember thinking what a gorgeous stone. And it didn’t have any impact on its brilliance. I’m sure the cut was superb. I wish I remember whose ring it was but I don’t. Perhaps go to the K colored thread in SMTB I’m sure it’s in there.

It's no longer available, now I have the vvs2 reserved again. It slightly more than what I wanted to pay. But can't see anything else at 3 k mark.

No JA said the diamond will be cloudy throughout when I asked the compare to another K SI. They also said that it has a slight brown colour which could affect brilliance. Hmmm I am conflicted. Please help!

Oh dear, is it due to the " clouds not shown " comment? If that is the case, I think you should give this a miss and look for another K SI.

I don't know what it was about but they didn't want me to buy it to be on the safe side and BN notified me the next day it wasn't available after I bought it. Someone else got in there before me. To me it was a good deal at a good price. I don't know why they push the higher clarity, there are some beautiful SIs and I didn't see any cloudiness whatsoever in the stone.

Oh dear, could this be due to "upselling"? Is your budget still at 3k 1carat mark? I am only familiar with James Allen so far: here are some for you to choose from https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?Color=K,J,I,H,G,F,E,D&CaratFrom=0.9&Polish=EX,VG&Symmetry=EX,VG&Lab=GIA,AGS&DepthFrom=61&DepthTo=62&TableFrom=54&TableTo=56

How about these 2?

Thanks La2020, but JA is US based and there's extra duty cost. BN ship from Dublin.
I have purchased the K vvs2 1.13, after being messed about with them. Let's home it's still available lol.
Customer service is atrocious.

I will update you if there are any changes prior to receiving it. If not I will post photos when I have it.

Hi guys happy New Year to you all. I got the ring today which will be a replacement for my current engagement ring.
The medium blue fluorescence is amazing in the sunshine. The diamond is so pretty and sparkly love it and the setting fits perfect.

Hi guys, Happy New Year again! Hope all is well. I dlhave done some back lit photos with a torch and my phone camera. Was curious to see how the facets light up and see the GIA inscription which was very difficult. I don't think the video can upload.

Love your recent photos. Can you further explain your process for a non techy like me? I’d like to try with my ring too.
