What do you think of this diamond?

[lazybum9]

Hi i''m looking at this diamond http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/4276/

There''s some crystal and feather on the table, not sure if they''ll affect the brillance and fire of this diamond. Also, pls advise what''s the Aset image used for?

Pls give your comments on this diamond. Thanks!

Gorgeous - very nice choice, you won''t be sorry.

Not sure of your budget/size preference, but you can drop down a colour grade or two, and go a tad larger. Ideal cut stones will face up whiter, so you can easily drop colour. Totally up to you, if this is the size you are looking for then it''s a goer.

The inclusions in a VS graded stone will not effect brilliance or fire. It''s an AGS 000 so you will have no worries, it will be a top performer.

Don''t forget to post pics when you get it!

Hi again Lazy - great choice!
This should be a lovely diamond and a top performer.

re the inclusions, very rarely with a stone certified by AGS or GIA will you have anything to worry about with a VS2. You won''t be able to see the feather and it shouldn''t be at all big enough to affect the performance. Best thing to do if you''re worried though is just ask Jon to have a squiz

With regards to the ASET, I don''t understand them that well but basically they''re just another tool for predicting light return - and this one is good from what I can tell..hopefully others will chime in with more info on that.

So, in short if these are the specs that you''re after, than

Thanks for the comments guys. Like to know what are some of the reports I should be asking from GOG to check out the diamond?

Looks like a nice diamond to me like honey said you can drop the colour and clarity and go bigger if that is your preference , the inclusions should not be an issue but ask GOG to look at it for you

A little sidenote if you look at the inclusion plot on the AGS cert it looks like a smiley face YAY a smiley diamond. .

pretty much everything you could need is there except maybe a brilliancescope - not necessary, but a bit of fun. Probably only fair to ask for one to be done if you plan to buy..
