Thoughts on Diamond

[Crusaderxc]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has thought on following:
https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD10457495

Getting price matched for $7700.
BN confirmed eye clean and clouds don’t produce hazy/milky appearance.

I realize the PA is 41 but with 34.5 CA that should just squeak by as being okay? HCA 1.8

TIA

I think it’s nice, but I wonder if you could find a better price for the same diamond at a different vendor (BN doesn’t own all of its inventory).
It wouldn’t hurt to ask around, online, and see if you can save some $$$.
Also, curious about your budget & preferences. What do you think of superideals?
Have you compared them to others? If you are willing to open your options to better cut diamonds (this one is cut nicely, don’t get me wrong), we may be able to help you find a spectacular sparkler.

Thanks for reply! BN had for $9000 but they would price match B2C at $7700 which had same diamond, so seems like a good deal there if cut well. And possibly, seems to get super ideals would need to go down in color/clarity, only preference for color is not yellow, budget ~$8500 all in with setting, probably a solitaire so setting would be cheap.

OK let me see what I can come up with another post, later...
In the meantime, I am certain he will have other responses.

What is your sensitivity to color? I think you can probably get away with an I, especially in a super ideal cut. Because of the superb cut, they tend to face up whiter and larger than lesser cut stones.

Here is one that is almost the same price but ACA super ideal, and WF has a superb upgrade program and large selection of settings.

Great recommendation @sledge. I would definitely consider this one as well, although the diamond you have reserved through BlueNile is certainly not terrible.

Thanks all! I actually received the Blue Nile diamond and looks great! Very white and full of fire.
One last option that I found in case I wanted to go big for alittle extra:
