Hello,
First off I think this website is great and I’ve spent a lot of time searching through here
I’m looking for a diamond in the color range J-H, around 1.2-1.3c, round cut, fluorescent a bonus, budget about 6k…. I found this:

Would love feedback if this is good find or keep looking / learning
Thanks
This diamond is cloudy. If you ask for the grading report, it says that “Clarity grade is based on clouds that are not shown.” So although you don’t see any black inclusions, It will have reduced transparency. Skip this one and any diamonds with the same note.
You might consider the options below instead. They’re nice J’s in terms of hue, saturation, and tone. They avoid any transparency issues, which I think is worth the color trade off for clarity in this case.
