I recently purchased a diamond that I saw in person, compared to other diamonds, and loved. After purchasing it, I came across the HCA tool and was surprised when my diamond received only a "good" score. Could this diamond perhaps be one of the ones that falls outside the criteria in HCA, but still a very nice stone? I will provide the diamond specs. If anyone out there can give me some answers/opinions, I would really appreciate it.

Round Brilliant
GIA Certified
Measurements: 8.04 - 8.06 x 5.02 mm
Carat Weight: 2.02
Color: H
Clarity: SI1 (eye clean)
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: Faint
Depth %: 62.4
Table %: 58
Crown Angle: 35.5
Pavilion Angle: 41
Side note: has the hearts and arrows pattern
 
Well...Do you have any pictures? I'd be concerned with the 4.1 HCA score, but I can't see it in person....How does it perform? You said it does have the arrows, but is it bright? Does it have a return policy?
 
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures and will not be able to get any in the near future, because it is being set. It is a very bright stone. We compared it to several other stones in person (all with relatively same specs...ex/ex/ex, H, SI1) and picked it, because we thought it was the most beautiful. We viewed it inside and outside in natural light and it really sparkled.

They do have a return policy.

Personally, that's all that matters. If you've done your research and looked at a number of different stones and liked that one the best, then keep it! Hopefully you'll post some pictures for us after it's set? If your FI is thrilled about it, that's really all that matters.
 
Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it! I thought I had done my research, but then I discovered the HCA tool... I will definitely get some pictures once it is set.
