Hello! I wonder if you can give me your opinion on this diamond
Blue Nile LD09691388
or any other one that you’d recommend instead, for this ring:
Floral Halo Diamond Engagement Ring
Can you please comment on the inclusions and if they would affect the appearance?
Thank you very much.
The stone you found is beautiful with great overall specs.
I checked and found this slightly bigger one for a little more:
Blue Nile LD09470641
Either of them is a fantastic way to go. So whichever you like more, go for it.
What are your thoughts about the diamond having a pinpoint, needle, and cloud? Is that really bad? Would it affect the appearance much? What about the value? Would they be visible, or would this be eye clean?
None of the inclusions you mentioned are going to be noticeable with your naked eye. Also, since the stone is a VVS, there’s absolutely no need to worry about the eye-cleanliness.
I just noticed that this stone is not available at the moment. Did you put it on hold?
No I just found it’s not available now when I was ordering 😕
If I find one, how do I put it on hold while I can check with you? Is that possible?
I believe that you just need to start an order with the stone. But I suggest contacting them directly to double check.
What do you think of the stone I sent?
For the one you recommended above, do you think the fluorescence can cause any murkiness in how it looks?
Faint fluorescence won’t be noticeable and won’t cause any issues.
