I have made a few posts in the past and got some amazing feedback. With the information from the forums and the feedback I've received, I have selected another diamond. I would really appreciate any feedback you can provide. Thanks in advance for all your comments.

GIA 1169733326
0.9ct round brilliant
6.18 - 6.22 x 3.79mm
Color Grade: G
Clarity Grade: SI2
Cut Grade: excellent
Polish: very good
Symmetry: very good
Fluorescence: strong blue (vendor indicates there are affects due to fluorescence)
Clarity Characteristics: feather, crystal cloud (vendor indicates it is eye clean at 6-8" bird's eye view and currently inquiring about location of inclusions)
Table: 57%
Depth: 61.1%
Crown: 14.5% / 34.5deg
Pavilion: 42.5% / 40.6deg
Girdle: medium to slightly thick
Culet: none

Thanks again!!
 
Based on the stats, the diamond should perform well. If the vender confirmed the diamond is eye clean and look it over for haziness, are you able to request an idealscope?

The ARE effects due to fluor? What kinds of effects? You need to nail that down. As well as verify it is not only eye clean but that the cloud(s) don't affect brilliance or the integrity of the stone.

Opps...meant to say "vendor indicates there are NO affects due to fluorescence".

The vendor did get back to my regarding the locations of the inclusions (feather, crystal, cloud) - they're located on the table and crown side. Should I be concerned that the inclusions are on the table and crown although the vendor indicates it is eye clean at 6-8" away at bird's eye view??
 
If it were me, I would be concerned. Inclusions under the table are easier to see, and inclusions on the crown can reflect throughout the diamond. The diamond can be eye clean looking straight down but what about at angles? I'd ask the vender whether or not you can see the inclusions unaided. That's MY definition of eye clean.

You may be happy with it, but it doesn't hurt to have them look.
