I have tried to do research on all of the different aspects of purchasing a diamond, but would still like to have someone elses opinion on maybe something I am not catching. This is a diamond off of Blue Nile, and I know there are free returns, but since I can't see the diamond I would like a little reinforcement. Thanks!

reserve the diamond, then share the link to the certificate be it GIA or an AGS certified stone and we can give you some additional insight

 

[RDH0513]

It is GIA, http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-cert-viewer?cert_pid=LD02429842&cert_num=1&cert_zoom=false

I hope I did that right haha

And to who ever else looks, I forgot something really important. Round diamond...

 

[slg47]

I would personally go higher in color and lower in clarity. VVS2 is overkill in my opinion...it will look the same to the naked eye as VS1-VS2.

 

[Amys Bling]

Totally agree with SLg. I would drop in clarity- VVS2 won't look any different than an eyeclean vS2 or even an SI1. Then I would look for higher in carat or color.

 

[RDH0513]

I purposely chose the color I because I like a little warmth in diamonds,plus sparkle its more important to me than color, but I am nervous to order a si1 or vs2 in the hopes that it will be "eye clean" because I can't see the diamond. It would be nice to drop the clarity and up the carats though.. Maybe I could call blue nile when I find a specific diamond and have them tell me if it is eye clean..

I am not sure that BN provides this service but you might be able to find a VS1 or VS2?

 

[Kalrik]

Yes, blue nile does provide this service. It does take a couple days but you could probably have them look at a couple at a time. This isn't saying they dont call the cutter and have them look though, which is what they most likely do. They do have some in house though, I believe.

 

[Amys Bling]

I color is perfectly fine! Wasn't sure if you had seen one in person or not.

If you are nervous about inclusions VS1 or VS2 would be a safe bet, if you don't want to pay for a VVS2

 

[RDH0513]

Okay. So I did a little research and found an "Eye Clean" G 1.01 round brillant- now would you buy this one? https://myapps.gia.edu/ReportCheckPortal/getReportData.do?&reportno=2131751955&weight=1.01


Diamond shopping is stressful.

 

[plummiecat]

The crystals on the 1.01 look huge. I doubt it is truly eye clean. I would stick with SI1-VS1 personally.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I wouldn't go to from a VVS2 to a SI2, especially not from Blue Nile where you can't see magnified images of the stone. I'd go with the largest H or I VS2 I could find in budget. This is a great one if eyeclean. You'd have to call and ask.
