Hi,

I've been searching for my ideal diamonds for several weeks and learned a lot from here. Thanks everyone!

So, back to the topic:

I came across a round 1.11ct G VS2 with triple EX diamond. In the fluorescence section, it's marked as MEDIUM YELLOW? I've seen medium blue all the time and heard it will positively affect the diamond color. What about yellow fluorescence? Does it make the G color look yellowish and more like an I or J?

Also, the inclusion plot seems very clean - with very few needles, but the comments has "Clarity grade is based on clouds that are not shown." Is it something I should also concern about? I know such statement is a concern SI1 or below, but what about VS2 which might be at the margin between VS and SI?

All other comments/advice are very welcome :angel: :angel:

Here's the details of the diamond:
Shape: Round Brilliant
Weight: 1.11 carat
Measurements: 6.59 - 6.60 x 4.12
Color: G
Clarity: VS2
Cut/Polish/Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: Medium Yellow

Table: 56%
Depth: 62.4
Crown Angle: 35.5
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
HCA score: 2.6 - Very Good

Thanks guys!

GIA's top cut grade of Excellent is too loosey-goosey ... the HCA is a sharper pencil.
It scores over 2.0 so I'd reject it.

Yes, the Medium Yellow fluorescence will make the diamond look more yellow than other Gs in any light that has appreciable UV component, such as sunlight.

I'd be concerned about the comment ... Clarity grade is based on clouds not shown on the plot.
This means the diamond may look cloudy and milky compared to one without this problem.
Buyer beware.

When you come across a diamond with an unusually low in price there will be a reason.
This one has 3. :nono: :nono: :nono:

Round is the most abundant diamond shape.
Plenty of other fish in the sea.

Medium yellow is really cool in a fancy coloured yellow diamonds because it frequently makes them look more yellow - in white diamonds, however, it is not cool because it can also make them face up with more of a yellow tint in some lighting situations than they should have. As Kenny has suggested it is also not a top cut.

Thanks Kenny and arkieb1 for your comments. Agreed, I'll pass this one.
