Hi all,

Table %: 55%

I am still undecided on the setting, not sure if I should get one made in Canada or settle with the 4-prong comfort fit from bluenile. (Finger size 4)

Well it is an AGS cert and on the HCA it scored well. 2 or lower on the HCA is great and it scored a .7 You can plug the numbers too w/this https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp
Factor Grade
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 0.7 - Excellent
within TIC range

If you find a VS2 you won't see inclusions. Are you color sensitive? If not you could probably go a bit bigger for approx same price?

Thanks for the thoughts!

I''ve been reading various topics on the site and I am going to check out Superbcert & GOG. I found something similar to the above diamond on pricescope and it linked to GOG but I can''t access the website tonight.

Here are some others with similar specs:
