I found this (time to put what i learned to the test) :)

Round 1.40 Carat Natural Diamond, D, VVS2, GIA Certified

1.40 carat natural diamond, certified by GIA. D color and VVS2 clarity. Priced at $16608, is 29% lower than our fair price estimate, and seems like a Great Price for a Round Shape conflict-free diamond
www.rarecarat.com www.rarecarat.com
GIA 6475764474

Can someone help me determine how good is this diamond and if the price of $16608 is right.

Thanks
Bao
 
It's a beautiful diamond, and the price seems reasonable. You found a good one!
 
It does indeed look beautiful! Congrats on the find!
 
Snag it before someone else does...lots of anonymous lurkers here waiting to snipe great diamonds from others without doing all the research and searching for themselves.

It's cheaper. HCA is 0.8, and clarity is 1 step lower. How good is this? Is it a better value?

Or
After read about H&A, I really like it.
I am also consider the one that recommended by DejaWiz

So that's my 3 choices right now.

Thanks

Hi guys,
I stopped looking and narrow my choice down to these 2.
the one recommended by Deja

One recommended by Kim
https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-di...-vs1-clarity-round-excellent-cut-sku-a4634283

To me, they are very similar.
one is HCA 1 and the other HCA 1.4 (does that mean anything?)
is one better than the other? is there a clear winner between these 2?

Thanks

Have Whiteflash pull both and whip you up some comparison videos and pictures. :)

The HCA scores don't mean anything: anything at or below a 2.0 means "great potential: assess the nitty-gritty details of cut precision, material quality, and optical performance to ensure that the potential is met or exceeded."
Being that these are both custom cut and highly vetted ACAs, the potential has been exceed.
 
Ask WF for a picture of both stones together and ask for their honest opinion of which one might have an advantage over
the other. Unfortunately, with parameters as tight as they are on ACAs it is hard to tell any difference between them.

Here they are in a comparison if anyone wants to see them side-by-side

Diamond comparison | Compare Diamonds to choose and buy the best one

Whiteflash gives you an excellent opportunity to compare diamonds to make a great deal. With diamond’s parameters provided, you can compare any detail.

Edit...
The frugal person in me says to go for the E because the colors are so close but that D sure is pretty and, well, its a D!

I did ask for Liza's (the person I am talking to at WF) opinion. This is exact words from her:
"I also included a picture of these from the side view, which is the best angle to assess color. You might be able to see a slight difference with the D color being just a touch whiter/cooler in tone, but these differences are probably impossible for most people to see face up"

I couldn't see the different at all

Thanks

Maybe request a third candidate so that you can better judge tint/hue when it comes to pinnacle light return and optical performance.

Deja, I see your point. I should have asked the one you mentioned. It probably easier to see the different in color.

Thanks

They'll do it ...give them an ask. :)
 
Hi Guys,
Here the pictures with the "H" color for comparison.

That's not much of different.
I end up chose 1.43 D color. The one that you recommended, Deja.

Thanks all of you guys in this forum for the help.

Merry Christmas to you all
Thanks
Bao
