I am interested in a particular diamond (J color, SI1, fancy cut, GIA cert.) which is currently at a diamond cutter. I'm sure any vendor could obtain this diamond. I had contacted 5 vendors about the brilliance of the diamond, the color, if it was eye clean and about the bow tie. All the vendors said it faces up pretty white for a J color, minimal bow tie effect, great brilliance, 100% eye clean and they would recommend the diamond for a ring. All but one. This one vendor said the diamond has an inclusion viewable to the naked eye, yellowish tint and suggested that I increase my budget to get an I color. Mind you, it is the same diamond, same GIA number and same specs and all sponsors or vendors of pricescope. I can't see the diamond in real life until I order it to have it shipped to me so that's why I contacted so many vendors because I'm paranoid like that. So what is your opinion on this situation? Should I go with the 4 other vendor opinions or is this some kind of sales tactic? Thanks so much
