What are your thoughts on this diamond?

Hello All,

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-g-color-si2-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-378159

What are your thoughts on this?

I am looking for a diamond that is close to 1 carat as possible without sacrificing cut or color. Obviously, the clarity will suffer as I am only seeing SI2 in this price range. I'm looking to spend between $3k - $3.5K.

I'm concerned of cavity inclusion -- does it affect stability? I can't really see the feather from the viewer.

Thanks for all your help and any guidance i can get.

Sorry for the shameless bump..

Crown is lower than we ideally prefer (34-35.5 with a good HCA). But it is an AGS0.

My issue is with the inclusions, I don't think that is going to be eyeclean. The one inclusions is prongable sure... but still.

Thanks!

I was afraid that those inclusions aren't eyeclean either, even though they're off to the side.


What about this one. The inclusion doesn't seem to bad even though it's right in the middle of the table. Is it worth the decrease in carat weight?

Pick 3 and put them on hold so that they don't get poached while you wait for the gemologist evaluaion. I like the first one, great size for the price if it is eyeclean

Thanks.

That's a nice stone.


I think we can find you something bigger though. Post budget and what colors you prefer.

I would like to stay within $3K - $3,600 just for the diamond. I can push it to $4K if needed and if the characteristics justify it.

Color range: F-G


Thanks again!
