It looks like it could be a good buy. Online, the pricing seems to run around $6300 and the HCA score isn''t too bad at 2.4. As a SI1 stone, I would check to see if I can see the inclusions from the table. I would also recommend getting an Idealscope to check for light leakage.
 
Thanks, Chrono. I have seen this diamond in person, it''s clean by naked eyes(afraid of I don''t have the sensitive eyes). The HCA score bothers me a little, it leads me think that the stone has no enough fire. I will try to ask for the idealscope images.
Thanks again.
 
I''m not sure that the local dealer will have an Idealscope. Many jewellers have no idea that such a tool exist. I agree that it is a good idea to proceed with caution for stones over HCA 2 scores. Do you have your own Idealscope?
 
Just a correction, it''s a local vendor, not a dealer. So, I hope he could provide an idealscope.
Or if you guys would help me find my stone? My budget is $5500-$6000, round brilliant, 1.05-1.1 carat, G-H color, VS2-SI1 clarity, and as much light and fire as I can get.
Thank you again.
