Q&A: Need 2nd Opinion on 0.7 Ct. Round Cut

By Mike Fried, Updated October 24, 2017

I am thinking about purchasing this hearts and arrows diamond, with a setting, as an engagement ring:

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.70-carat-f-color-if-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-164396?a_aid=dmnd1357

I would like to spend somewhere around US$5000 on it – hoping to find the best diamond I can (particularly in terms of cut and clarity). It’s currently listed for $5,300.

I would be very grateful for your thoughts on it, or other similar diamonds.

Also would like to know whether you consider this a ‘super-ideal’ grade hearts and arrows diamond?

Many thanks and kind regards.

It seems like you have this diamond buying process down pat. I love the diamond you selected.

Let me know how it looks when it arrives.
