SI1 F $6000

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for several weeks now and have learned so much! I'm now ready to purchase a diamond and I wanted to know what you all thought. The only concern is that it has twinning wisps, which I have never seen in person before. Other than that, it seems like an awesome deal!

I didn''t run the numbers through HCA, I''m sure somebody will, or you could.

But twining wisps are GREAT! You can''t see them with the naked eye at all. I have three on my diamond and can''t see them even with the loup. I read here that they don''t affect the structural strength of a diamond either. The stone seems great! Do you have pictures, idealscope, etc?

From the numbers alone it looks great with a 1.3 ACA. Do you have pics? The only one I found comparable was close on price at Winfield''s for about $500 more so the price seems good. I''m sure the experts will weigh in, just my 2 cents!

Well this is how it did on the HCA https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp

Factor Grade
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.3 - Excellent
within TIC range

It looks nice, is it eye clean????

Everything looks great so far without having seen any images, and if it looks great in person it may be the one for you. Twinning wisps aren''t anything to worry about and they are usually less visible than other inclusions actually.

Great numbers, it could be a lovely diamond.

Do you have any pictures? Or an IS image?

 

[bku82]

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will have some pictures up tomorrow since WF does not have it in stock right now and is waiting for the vendor to send it to them. Once they get the stone, they will be taking all the necessary pictures for me and I can post them up.

What do you think of this stone?

The rep verified that it had an excellent cut but advised against it because of the strong blue fluorescence. But, I have been reading that it's not necessarily a bad thing. What do you think?

 

[bku82]

The images are in, let me know what you all think!

Seems like a couple of the arrows are a bit off. How do you think this might look vs an ACA diamond like this one
