What do you think about this diamond?

[newd]

Hi Everyone!

I finally found the stone that I like! I went to JA yesterday and viewed 3 stones H, I and J colors. I knew that I would see the difference in color and was a bit skeptical about J stone. When I just started shopping I viewed different diamonds to feel my preference in color. To my surprise I did not like colorless diamonds which turned out to my advantage. I really liked yellow sparks in the “I” which was the lowest color offered by Tiffany so I decided to look in that category. When I viewed the stones all looked gorgeous, thanks to PS I picked the best cut. But I really liked “I” and “J” stones. I had to say that “I” had a better cut and I can actually see it ( I think i was) but I picked J just because the difference in sparkle was not that big and “J” was bigger. Please see the picture of the diamond below and let me know what do you think.

Thanks a lot all of you - wonderful members of PC!

Looks good to me.

Nothing really wrong with this diamond.
Ask them if the surface graining is on the table, and if it's visible with a loupe.
I don't like to see graining on the table of a diamond, even when it's only with a loupe.
Also ask if this graining together with the fluorescence do affect the transparency of this diamond.
The proportions look very good!

QueenMum,

I saw the ring myself and viewed it through the loupe. I cannot see anything.
I only noticed a wisp that turned out to be some dust. The gemologist told me that she
cannot see the graining through the loupe as well and that she is not sure why it is on the report.

I just made an order! Hopefully I will see my ring sometime in December


Thank you everyone! You really helped me a big deal in this search for my special diamond.

Great news to hear everything is fine with this diamond.
You had the opportunity to visit JA?
So the diamond is clean, and did you like it?
It is nicely cut!

Yes I leave in NY, so I just made an appointment with JA and visited them during my lunch brake
I also took my DH with me for the support. I really liked 2 diamonds but this one was bigger and still in
the comfortable price range so I picked it. I could not see anything on the diamond even with the loupe.

Now I am stressing out about a setting I want to choose one from JA as well so I don’t have to send the stone to any other vendor.

And I am liking this one for now:
