What so you think?2.5carat

[Jianli]

Hello everyone! New to the site and I would like to know what you guys think and would recommend about this diamond. It is from a B&M store. This will be an upgrade for my wife. She has a 1.22 carat vvs1 F 3E and the one I want to upgrade to is 2.5carat si1 F 3E with new setting.

Hca is 2.6

Thanks for all the advice in advance!!

33 crown /41.2 pavilion
60 table
60.7 depth
80 lsf

With no pics or images, the only questions are: what did you think of it and how much is it?

This would not be my choice. HCA of 2.8 is an immediate elimination in my book. I would be worried about leakage. With the low crown angle and large table you’ll have a lot of brightness but very little fire. My personal preference is for a good balance of fire and brilliance....leaning towards more fire.

I'm not a good judge of MRBs by number but going from a VVS1 to S1 is a consideration. You'd need to see if it's a 'good' S1 and worth going up in size for, or maybe look for a VS1 that's slightly smaller?

hca > 2 is a no no, keep looking.

This. I am not the expert at all but would not want anything greater than a two for certain.

Awesome!! Thank you so much for the response. I will be in the store tomorrow to personally look at it. I'll try to take some pictures of it too. I was leaning towards another diamond but salesman being salesman... .the guy is somewhat pressing about how "nice and eye clean" it is. None the less, I will be spending a lot more time in the store tomorrow.

this looks like a 60/60 diamond. It will have a lot of brilliance but little fire (colorful flashes). it has a very low crown height of 13, it’s going to have a flat top look.
