SOS… thoughts on this diamond

[lksquare]

Can anyone give me their opinion on this diamond? I’ve already lost 2 diamonds because I am so slow on pulling the trigger. I’m heartbroken because I lost the “one”.

It scored a 1.7 on HCA. I’m hoping to find a diamond that has excellent in all three categories. This alternative doesn’t have excellent but it seems to have the fire I am looking for…

35/40.8 surely there are better cut diamonds out there.

Your right. I’m just teaching at this point. Think I’m gonna take a break and go back to the drawing after. It’s such a roller coaster of emotions.

No reason for roller coasters. If you want a beautiful diamond with guaranteed performance, then buy one from one of the preferred vendors like Whiteflash, Brian Gavin, Victor Canera, the Legacy line from Continental Jewelers, etc.

there may be better cut diamonds out there, but without knowing your budget, size, clarity and color preferences, I think it's hard to say what might be better that can work for you. I don't think your choice above is a bad choice if it fits all of your parameters.

Found an option from Brian Gavin that may be worth looking at:
2.09, J, VS2, $19,418 https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/...roducts/2-09-j-vs2brian-gavin-signature-round

Roller coaster meaning I started this diamond upgrade thinking I wanted x. But after doing a little research, I’m realizing I actually want y, maybe a. Lol. then finding diamond that met all my check marks only to be too late and someone getting. Sigh…

I should go to WF or other quality vendors. But the Asian in me want ti the a deal. Lol. But we’ll see. I think I need a break and reassess what am I willing to give up and what are my nonnegotiables.

Thank you for everyone’s feedback. ESP to our diamond experts. You guys are so generous with your knowledge, I am very grateful to you!!

Sorry. I meant to type reaching. Not teaching

If you're not looking for super ideal, I dont think the 2.17 is bad. My biggest concern is that it has some inclusions on the
table that might make it NOT eye-clean. Are you ok with that? Nothing wrong with a 35/40.8 combo.

 

[lksquare]

I do want it eye clean and I still want to keep looking.

Ok, you have to double check that this is eye clean, but the price seems almost too good to me true. AGS 0 range.
