Diamond Advice - I, VS1, Round

[jack385739]

Hi, I'm new to the diamond scene and was in the final stages of buying a diamond. But thought I'd hop on here to get a second opinion right before I purchase!

I have attached the specs and wanted to get some thoughts. Do you think it will sparkle? Is it a good quality diamond?

It is Round, I colour, VS1, 1.5ct, excellent cut. HCA was 3.7. Medium fluorescence. Have been told the diamond has a faint yellow tinge. It is eye clean with no milkiness or cloudiness.

Based in Australia, GIA No. is hidden in the certificate.

With an HCA score of 3.7, it is not a stone that most of us would recommend. Can we help you find a better stone?

Yes please, any recommendations would be great! Budget is $12k AUD, and then spending about $1.5-$2k on top for the ring setting, and looking at 1.5ct.

The diamond is tilted in the video, but it looks very good to me.

If I were looking for a modern round, there is only one place I would look…. Whiteflash.

Their A Cut Above are incredible diamonds. And they have one of my favorite simple Tiffany like solitaire settings, Vatche U113. They have a good upgrade policy, should you decide to go bigger for an anniversary someday… and their customer service is outstanding.

Not sure if you’ve bought anything yet, but here’s one to look at

Ahhhh, I completely missed the AUD part! Rats!

@jack385739 WF has an I, VS2, but you would be sacrificing size, as it’s closer to a 1ct.
