Hello All,
I have been seriously contemplating on whether to buy the diamond below and would love to have your brutal, honest input.
1.37 Carat Round Diamond
Ideal Cut, G, VS2
Symmetry - Excellent
Polish - Excellent
Depth % - 61.9
Table % - 55
Crown angle - 34.5
Pavillion angle - 40.8
HCA Score - 1.3
Cost - $9,037
Typically I had read here on PS that bluenile''s diamonds tended to be more expensive, but I have found that this price is really competitive to Whiteflash, GOG, and James Allen (taking into account this size and quality). I did find on James Allen a similar diamond, however it was a bit smaller and its HCA score was greater (it was $200 cheaper though). Also, this falls within my budget of 9-9.5k. If you find something similar feel free to let me know.
So please, have at it. Give me your honest opinions. Ladies, would you enjoy a diamond like this? Gents, would pay for this? One thing that I did find discouraging is that I can not get any more info on this other than what is given on the GIA report. However, I feel like I am willing to take that risk, and when I get it I will take it to an independent appraiser. If he confirms my worse fears, then I shall return it.
Lastly, I was told that Ideal cut diamonds from bluenile, with Excellent Polish and Symmetry, come with the Hearts and Arrows pattern. However, I was told by a BlueNile representative, so I don''t know how much I can trust this. Any thoughts on this? Okay, sorry this got a little long. But again, please give me your honest input. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
JQ
