I wouldn’t buy it without more information, like light performance images. The crown is slightly steep but with 40.6 PA still has lots of potential, as indicated by the HCA. Without knowing how the diamond actually performs, I wouldn’t pay anything for it. Using the search tool to see what the general prices are for such a diamond, I would guess the cost is around $8000. I also would not pay the price premium for IF - so I personally wouldn’t consider this diamond unless it was priced the same as a lower clarity.

I can’t seem to leave this reply without a smart ass comment, lol. I would definitely pay $3000 for it without any further information.

I found it. I think it's showing a bit too much color for a G.
 
Ok, thanks guys.With no further info I will keep looking.
FYI, the asked price is $7500

From what I could see on the diamond search, that is a good price ... good enough to make the diamond worth looking at, imo. It’s just if there is a premium for the “IF,” then you may want to consider lowering clarity to get that proverbial “bang for your buck” ... but I think that’s a very good price IF the light return images confirm good performance ... the numbers look promising, imo.

Ok, so maybe I should not reject it quite yet. I will see if they can provide an aset or ideal image, or both, or if I find something better out there
 
On a side note, my earrings are GIA XXX, G, IF

I found PS after I bought them, and I regret the IF clarity ... also one has an HCA of (I can’t remember exactly) something like 2.5 ... the other one was under 2. I like the G color just fine, although I have a bit of a mind-clean issue with it. Oh well. Live and learn.
