Shopping for my first LGD 1.01Ct F VS1

[ladune]

Hi diamond lovers!

I learned a lot this past few weeks thanks to all the great resources on PS!

I am looking to buy my first LGD, I will go for a 1 or 1.01ct max F VS1.
I have a budget of 1300$.

I found this diamond, what do you think about it?

The Hca score is 0.8 but I don't have any ideal/aset scope.
How will this diamond perform for the budget?

Thank you for your input!

This combo can work, but it's not my favorite. We would also need a magnified vendor video to evaluate the performance. Are you located in the U.S.?

$1300 for just the loose diamond or diamond and a setting?

For $700-1300 USD, we can easily find you a 1-1.25 carat D VVS2-VS2 with much better proportions and angles... assuming you are located somewhere that companies will ship to you.
