Thats better - thanks! And welcome to PS

Radiants are tricky as they really need to be seen to be judged, as the numbers don't always tell you much, however this is an in house diamond which WF have " cherry picked" so it has real possibilites! To me it looks like a potentially very pretty diamond, I would contact WF as the next step and ask one of their experts to talk you through the diamond, they know their stuff and will advise you accordingly and if this isn't the one, suggest alternatives for you.

Welcome

First of all, let me say I am no expert, just a radiant owner and lover.

Looking at ASET and Ideal Scope, I think the diamond looks good and worth further review. Like Lorelei said, the numbers are not the "end all" with radiants. Definitely ask WF to look at it and evaluate it for you. Discuss what radiant "look" you are going after and what qualities you want the diamond to display. I would trust their expert opinion in addition to what the numbers show you.

That said, I would put the stone on hold if you are really interested in it. I wouldn't want anyone to steal it out from under you, which can happen when you post publicly like this.

Good luck. Radiants are beautiful stones and definitely worth the extra trouble to evaluate. I love mine and never tire of looking at their sparkly beauty!

Come back to PS and show us what you ultimately decided on.

Thankyou for the help. I liked the picture of the diamond. I just don''t really know what to look for in a radiant diamond, only rounds. Could someone tell me what to ask wf about when I call so I could know if this is the one. Thanks so much

I would ask them what the grade setting inclusion is and where is it located ( no biggie in a VS but nice to know), how does it show it's colour or lack of, does it look a good face up size for it's weight and what is their expert opinion of this diamond, compared to the other Radiants they have seen. How is it's light performance, brilliance and fire, any light leakage. Discuss your setting ideas with them also.
WF will be used to talking a client through a diamond so to speak and you will end up with a very good idea whether this diamond is right for you or not.
