First off, I wanted to thank you for the tremendous value you provide with your site. I went from knowing virtually nothing about diamonds to being able to confidently speak to the 4Cs.
Your site has been very helpful in helping me narrow down my diamond search. I have been searching diamonds from 0.8-0.9 carats, G-H color, SI1 to VS2 clarity, in an excellent cut. Budget is around $5,000 (including setting). I am reaching out to get your opinion on this diamond:
My questions to you regarding this diamond:
– Will it be eye-clean?
– It scores a 2.4 on the Holloway Cut. I realize it is not “Super Ideal” but it is pretty close. Does this mean I should move on to a different diamond or will the difference be negligible?

| Thank you for your inquiry. I am happy to help. And I am glad to hear that the information on my website has been so helpful. Thank you for the feedback!
The diamond you selected from JamesAllen.com is a very good choice. Some of the proportions are outside the suggested range, however, it does not concern me in the least. The diamond is eye-clean and the inclusion will not impede the diamonds ability to reflect light, which is great. It is a triple excellent diamond and will offer the sparkle you expect a diamond to have. I say you can purchase this diamond with confidence. Please let me know any additional questions you have! |

Hey Sebastian, I am still in the process of finalizing my decision and came across this diamond:
It appears to be a good value given the characteristics and cut quality. I am a little worried about it being eye-clean due to the mark in the center of the table. Do you anticipate this being eye-clean or negatively impacting the brilliance?

| My apologies for my delayed response. The diamond is definitely eye-clean! |
