Help with diamond?

[byy123]

Hi,

First time poster, looking for advice regarding this diamond:

Diamond Details | Blue Nile

www.bluenile.com

Ran through HCA, with score of 1.3 - any red flags or concerns about this diamond? How should it perform?

thank you in advance!

I think this would be a very pretty diamond. I don't mind the 80% LGF, and I think it will face up very bright with a larger table. Some people prefer a smaller table but I personally prefer a bit larger one. There is a black inclusion but at a VS1, I am guessing you won't be able to see it, even from the side, without a loupe. To me, it's worth ordering and checking out. If there is anything you don't like it, you can always return it. You just need to be open to that possibility.

I really prefer having an ASET image, but without it, I think the diamond looks good.

Thank you for your responses! Would a WF ACA be noticeably better?

It would be noticeably better for a lot of people but not all people care for top performance of their diamond. And by "top" I mean, edge-to-edge sparkle to maximize light performance. WF ACA and all other super-ideal vendors provide all the info needed (Ideal Scope, ASET) to show how a diamond will perform. BN does not provide any of this. However, if you do not need best of the best, nor do you care about an upgrade policy, BN is a good way to go.
