Hi all - I've been lurking and using the information/tools on this site for a few months now. I just finally made a purchase of a setting and diamond, and wanted to double check that it was a good choice.
It probably would have been a better idea to post this earlier, but my itchy finger got the better of me. I did quite a bit of research, and it looked good to me, based on what I read. The HCA score was 3.6.
My budget for the stone was about $2800 (this came in a little under that). After researching, and plugging all of the potentials into the HCA, this turned out to be the best rated there.
And I should add, this is a round diamond.
Carat - .72
Color - F
Clarity - VS1
Cut/Polish/Symmetry - Excellent
Girdle - Medium/Slightly Thick
Depth - 62.8
Table - 55
Crown Angle - 36
Paviion Angle - 40.8
