The stats look great. And the inclusions should not be a problem with a VS2.

The numbers and HCA indicate no problems; it looks like an excellent diamond.

 

[buyer2011]

I am very glad to hear that you think it is excellent. I am pretty excited about it. I think it could be the one

 

[buyer2011]

any other opinions would be greatly appreciated as well.

In another post I asked what people thought about the 0.7 HCA rating for a ring. Some of the replies are below. They have me a little concerned. With all the above information. What do you think?

here are the reply quotes:

"No, lower is not better. I generally find that many of the best stones are cut to fall within 1 and 2. "

"Many, maybe most of the diamonds that score under around .8 fall into the pendant/earring category."

"HCA has 4 components.
Brightness / light return has 2x the weight.
Max brigtness often comes with reduced scinitillation and fire.
Larger Spread = smaller numerical results, but trades off other facotrs.

The result of these competing numbers adds up that 1-2 tends to be better for rings in most of the available proportions (you can have +2 on the shallow border too, so that is not as simple as many people make it out to be)."

Thank you

A very nice stone, if the price is nice I wouldn´t be afraid at all.
Personally I would go higher in colour and lower in clarity, but it´s just a personal preference

 

[buyer2011]

I went with the H, vs2 combo because this is online and I wont be able to see if a Si1 is truly eye clean and a vs2 is usually eye clean.i thought that I would be a little safer thinking that the H doesn't have any coloring.

 

[mastercut]

The H colour is nice.
As for the clarity, some vendors can check the eye-cleanness if you request so - this is the best way how to purchase a SI stone.

 

[buyer2011]

any other opinions on the H color comapred to doing a G. and the comfort of vs2 compared to trying to find an eye clean si1?
