Hi there,
I am looking to purchase a diamond from Blue Nile online. Could you please let me know if this diamond is good quality and if it will look brilliant and sparkly to the eye?
Blue Nile LD13691909
The diamond you found (Blue Nile LD13691909), it’s borderline of eye-cleanliness. It wouldn’t be my top pick as it has some cavities – cavities might disrupt the integrity of the diamond.
I have just searched on the BN website and the diamond we had our hearts set on last week has come back in stock.
Can you please take a look at it and tell me what you think about its characteristics and whether you think there are any obvious cavities etc.
The cut is perfect, I don’t see any red flags (there are no cavities, etch channels or knots). If BN can confirm the eye-cleanliness, it’s a nice diamond with minimal bowtie effect. I suggest putting it on hold if you like it a lot so that it doesn’t get sold by that time. I would say it’s borderline of eye-cleanliness, one of the feathers seems to be quite long and it enters the table. But hopefully, it would be okay – you would need to ask them to inspect it as in this case, I’m not 100% sure. Please let me know what they say.
That is brilliant, thank you.
We have just received the following email from BN after they have inspected the diamond today.
“Thank you for your call to Blue Nile today. I have received the following visual on your diamond. Please see link and result below:
Eye clean. Bow tie level 1(none).”
So I’m taking this as a very good deal on this particular diamond?
That sounds perfect.
Worst case scenario, if you end up not liking it, you can easily return it. But since they confirmed eye-cleanliness, it should be alright
Amazing, thank you for all your help!
