Hello all. Five years ago, I was given excellent advice on this board when purchasing diamond studs (I ended up with BGD .96tw, I and J). Now I'm interested in a pendant, with a budget of $1500. I'm looking to be as close to .6 as possible (my e-ring is .85 and I'd like the pendant to be bigger than the earrings but smaller than my e-ring).

I'm looking at this stone at Bluenile (BGD is outside my budget unless I go much smaller). Can you tell if this is a reasonable stone? I'm planning to put it in their bezel setting.

Any advice would be very welcome!

Not sure why you're not getting responses. I can't provide too much help myself, but let me bump your post and provide some preliminary data that may help get you additional advice.

This diamond has 62.3% depth, 57% table, 36° crown angle, 40.6° pavilion angle, no culet.
HCA = 1.9 (Excellent fire; Very Good light return, scintillation, and spread)

GIA Report No. 5196035544 (Diamond Dossier dated 1/12/2015)

0.62ct J SI1 (Twinning wisp), XXX, medium blue fluorescence

I hope this piques somebody's interest. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the bump, drk! I didn't even realize that GIA icon was a clickable link, I was wondering how to get the rest of the info. You've already been a huge help...I've discounted a couple of other stones I was looking at and the above one is still my front runner.

Another question...my earrings have 'negligible' florescence but a few of the possibilities I'm looking at are 'medium blue', and I'm wondering if that will be a problem. I'd like for them to be as close as possible, but would that be a noticeable difference in these sizes?

Medium blue shouldn't be a problem. Ask if the stone is milky or hazy, or make sure you can return it if the fluorescence is more pronounced than you like. Chances are though that it won't even be noticeable.
