Thoughts on this diamond?

It''s honestly a bit past my budget but I''m on a tight timeline (2-3 weeks) and it meets a few targets I had, .75 c, ideal cut, H colour, SI1.

Pending an evaluation by wf and being eyeclean, could I do better? It''s going in a platinum solitare setting so I was reluctant to go less than H colour.

Looks like a real beauty. If it''s eye clean you would probably be very happy with it.

Looks good.

better in terms of what?

You can probably get something cheaper or bigger by going for a non H&A stone.

Something like this? Ask if eye-clean and request for an idealscope image from JA if interested.

If you weren''t concerned about having a h&a diamond plus a full upgrade policy etc, then Stone''s selection above could be a definite option which would help the budget.
