As we all do at first, I originally started looking for a colour D, VVS1, Ideal cut stone and soon realised I wasn't as rich as I needed to be!
I've compromised several times to suit my budget and have found the following diamonds are suitable.
This was my original choice. All the figures seem to fall into the 'ideal' range. Only trouble for me is the dark inclusion in the centre of the stone. Clearly, I'm no professional and I can't tell if this will be all that visible unless I inspect really close up. Can someone tell me if this is the case? I don't mind a small inclusion as long as it doesn't look like there's a permanently a bit of dirt on it!
Weight: 1.2ct
Colour: I
Clarity: SI2
Cut: Excellent (Ex Pol & Ex Sym)
HCA score: 1.4
Width: 6.78 - 6.82 x 4.20
Depth: 61.7
Table: 57
Crown: 34.5
Pav Angle: 40.8
This was my second choice. It's not noticeably smaller and the inclusions are in a place where the claws can hide them. My only concern with this diamond is that all the angles seem a little peculiar?! Maybe I'm being daft as it has a good HCA score and is rated an Excellent cut by GIA. It's also £300 ($500) more.
Weight: 1.17ct
Colour: I
Clarity: SI1
Cut: Excellent (Ex Pol & Sym)
HCA score: 1.8
Width: 6.83 - 6.77 x 4.07
Depth: 59.8
Table: 61
Crown Angle: 33
Pav Angle: 40.8
I'm buying the diamond online; I can return them if I'm not happy but ideally I'd like to pick the right one first time round!
What do you think - Will the inclusion on the first diamond be very noticeable? Is it worth paying more for the second diamond?
