Would like your expert opinion on a diamond for a pendant.

[redmess]

I would love for the experts here to give me your input on the following diamond for a pendant:

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-I1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1463156.asp

It scores well on the HCA. I know it is an I1 but seems to be not too bad. I have asked them to give me their opinion on eye clean for pendants (10-12 inches) and then if it would be eye clean for an engagement ring (8-10 inches). I am awaiting the idealscope and will post when I receive.

Also if I do get this should I set it in white 18k or platinum and why you recommend either?

Thanks.

for a pendant I would set in 18k (cheaper and lighter than plat). I think that looks like a really nice pendant stone, I bet the inclusion is visible when you stare at it up close, but for a pendant I think it could be a great choice!

Wow nice find. That's an I1 I can probably live with. May I ask how much it is?
