Hi everyone, new here and very new to diamond buying. Have just reserved a diamond and would like people's thoughts on it please.
Here are the links to the diamond...
It's the same diamond on both websites, confirmed by the GIA report.
I've selected a 1.16 carat GIA triple excellent graded diamond and gone for a "J" color with the hope that being set in a platinum band and with strong flurorscence it will be slightly better in colour.
My first concern is whether the diamond will look milky / hazy / cloudy in person. Can anyone tell whether this might be the case based on the images provided by either BlueNile or JamesAllen?
My second concern is the proportions of the diamond.
Table: 55%
Depth: 61.6%
Crown: 33.5% - I understand this is slightly lower than the recommended 34% - will this cause an issue?
Pavillion: 40.8%
Lower Girdle: 75%
Star Facets: 50%
Medium to Slightly Thick faceted.
Are these going to be good proportions for this diamond?
According to the HCA score it gets a 0.9
Light return = Excellent
Fire = Excellent
Scintillation = Excellent
Spread - Very Good
Looks Like Size = Big
I do understand the HCA tool is meant as a rejection tool only, but these do seem good scores.
Thanks in advance for any feedback / suggestions.
