What do you all think of this stone?! :)

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advise, I am thinking about buying my diamond online for my girlfriends engagment ring.

After searching I found this one. I'm thinking it's a good stone for the price I'm looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

*just for side info, it is going into a halo setting*

Proportions are safe. Arrow shafts looked a bit skinny and I expected them to be around the the 78-79% range from looking at the video (which was confirmed with the GIA report showing the LGF %-age as being 80%).

You did your research before your selection as this one shows up as a 1.3 on HCA.

I'm afarid about getting a diamond that is eyeclean, from the pictures and video I can't see any issues... are the inclusions in this diamond something I should be worried about.

In terms of the arrow shaft, what does that have to do with the diamond, what is it lacking, what will it change? Do you have any suggestion on diamonds around this price range?

Arrow shaft has to do with contrast and whether you get smaller or bigger flashes of fire from the pavilion mains as the stone moves around in the light. Whether you like the arrow shafts skinnier or fatter is a matter of personal preference. This one looks to be easily eye clean. I can't see the inclusions based on the video. I think you have a winner with this stone. I will take a look at some other stones tomorrow morning (it's night time here in Australia as I type this out).
