Thoughts on crown angle of 36? Do you think this diamond is eye-clean?

Report is attached. Thoughts? Also, any suspicion about the report being generated in December of 2020?

The diamond looks quite nice to my eye. I suspect that it would be eye-clean, but you would need to ask someone to pull it and look at it for you with your definition of eye-clean.

Are you open to other vendors? I found this stone which is a VS1, cleaner under the table, with less of an extreme crown angle, and cheaper.

It is a really good 36/40.6.

The report is a bit old. That can be a concern.

Beautiful find, @Kim N .

Welcome to PriceScope, @helpwithdiamondsplz !

Do you need to be at a D for color?
If not, then check out this G VS2 from Whiteflash with verified perfect light return and performance. Their upgrade program is extremely generous and gives you full control over your future plans to move to different color grades, clarity grades, and carat weights.
Most other sellers require at least double the price of the diamond being upgraded to...WF requires the replacement diamond to only be equal or higher price.

Incredibly helpful replies everyone. Really appreciate all of you!!

I was originally looking at 2ct diamonds, so ideally would not drop below 1.8 at all. I recently purchased a 2ct with very strong blue fluorescence but I had to return it given it practically looked like a sapphire in direct sunlight.

I actually found another that I’m interested in with pretty good cut dimensions. Any red flags with this one? James Allen did not have an ideal scope for it. Only “miss” is a crown angle of 35.5 which I believe is slightly high. But appears eye clean and symmetry pretty good. No fluorescence thankfully!!

I prefer the look of the G you found, but it looks a bit "grey" to my eye (and that's coming from someone not color sensitive). I prefer the one @Kim N found to eirher of the JA ones

Agreed!!!!

 

[flyingpig]

What is the price? Just curious as I have been away for some time.

Otherwise, I like it.

It’s around 31k

I’m actually between this G-VS2 from JA

And the H-VS2 white flash as posted previously:

Really stuck between them. Seems like it’s a trade off between slightly better color vs (?slightly or significantly) better light performance with the ACA

Thoughts from the experts?

Thanks so much!

WF ACA all day long...you get the guarantees (and irrefutable proof) of being a true super ideal cut diamond as well as a far superior upgrade program.

Thank you all again!!!!

For a 2 carat diamond, the fiancé to be really wants a simple 4 prong knife edge ring. However, the only one I can find that meets those criteria on white flash is the Ritani below:

Do you think the band is too thin? Hope not. Would be stuck otherwise (she doesn’t like any fancy design, pave, basket settings).
