The ACA stamp of approval is pretty much a guarantee of optimum cut so there is no question of it being a beautifully performing diamond. If the size and color are within your desired specs, than you can not go wrong with this one.

Since, it's an I color, should i be looking for yellow or brown tint? i seen some posts that one is better than the other on some stones ?

If the wearer is color sensitive, they may see body color with an I.

This one is a really good example of an I color, in my opinion. Some would refer to it as a "low I color", since it may be slightly closer to H than J.
You can always ask WF to take a video of it next to a comparably sized G and E so that you can gauge the amount of hue.

I agree - I thought it faced up quite white for an I color stone. Asking for comparison photos is a great idea!

For the poster, if you are seriously considering this stone, call WF and put it on hold. Would hate to see it purchased out from underneath you before you had a chance to make a decision!

Agree as well! It looks like a very nice I color.

No need for an ACA! It is already cut with extreme precision and verified light performance.

Yellow. In this size, you will see the tint. Whether it will bother you or not is up to your color tolerance. I would also ask about the feathers, whether they would affect durability of the stone, since it is a VS2 and they are situated towards the edges. It should not but worth asking.

Dont need HCA...ACAs are pre-vetted stones that are H&As with Ideal light return (AGS000).

People who are color sensitive may* see tint in a large "I". Others will see a big sparkly stone.
Ask for pictures. You can ask about the feather but the stone would never make the ACA line
if it had any major structural issue...especially at the VS2 level. (FYI most of us insure our stones).

It's a lovely stone!

I only wrote "will see tint" because I see it in my 2.57 I colored ACA. It does not bother me one bit as I am color tolerant but the tint is apparent even when compared with my smaller I colored ACA solitaire necklace. I also dislike feathers so I might be biased.

Yes this is me!! I was so worried about my upgrade "J" ACA looking tinted (coming from an H) and even posted on here showing pics where I could see the warmth. But wearing it daily and in many different lighting all I see now is a gorgeous sparkly stone and I sometimes pair it with my eternity bands which are F/G stones and I don't notice a glaring difference. I think your stone is just perfect and that " I" is beautiful, congrats!

Got these comparison images from WF, what does everyone think? it appears to be more yellow than the other I color beside it

I just want to let you know that I was looking at this diamond as a part of an upgrade but one of the feathers made it to the surface and it was tangible. Otherwise, it was a beautiful stone but I decided against it because of the feather concern. I do not believe it would be an issue but I wanted you to know. It is an average I, not high, but not super low either. When compared to a J, you can see a slight difference, not big.

What is the concern with the feather being on the surface? Sorry, im not well educated in these nuances. Did you see the stone in person? Did you end up finding something you liked?

I saw it in person, had it for a week but returned it. I just prefer "non-tangible" feathers. There should be no concern with the feather being on the surface (opening on the girdle edge) just make sure you tell the jeweler to set it the way the prongs do not go over or touch that feather. Otherwise, it should be safe but I was not certain. The diamond was worn previously so I am not sure if that contributed to the surface opening of the feather - it should not but, again, I was not certain.

I only noticed it when I was looking for the AGS number, otherwise it is not visible but it is tangible, if that makes sense. It is a beautiful stone, though.
