Don't be turned down by its VS2 clarity. ACAs are virtually eye-clean (no visible inclusion 10inches away under normal lighting condition: https://www.whiteflash.com/about-diamonds/faq/what-is-your-definition-of.htm) and if you look like very very close, you may be able to see the inclusion. Of course, this is just maybe. But of course, with such excellent light return (refer to its IdealScope image), I doubt that you will be able to see it even if you look very close without any aid.

Among all the 30-pointers within colourless range and up until VS2 clarity, this is the diamond that I will pick. Other reasons include the excellent proportions it has: 34.5 degree crown angle and 40.8 degree pavilion angle. It is my desired pairing because that is close to Tolkowsky's ideal cut. (Tolkowsky has 40.75 degree pavilion angle).

The price is USD 891 if you paid via bank transfer. So using an exchange rate of 4.57, the price will be RM 4071.87. Add on another 6% GST, final loose diamond price will be RM 4316.18. Add in misc charges, like 6% GST on the shipping fee, the final price will be somewhere around RM 4350.00. Please note that I have used a higher exchange rate of 4.57. The wire transfer forex rate as of today (04/02/2017, 5:17pm) is 4.489. This means that you can have this diamond - A super ideal cut with guaranteed light performance, below RM 4350.00.

Now add on a simple 4-prongs custom 18k white gold ring setting by Memory Jewellery, the price will be around RM 1000.00, and the final price will be close to, but below RM 5350.00. If you choose non-custom setting, the price will be around RM 750.00 last checked, meaning you save another RM 250.00, but personally, I think that custom design is worth it. They do offer platinum setting at a higher but reasonable price if you opt for platinum settings.

This is definitely a good piece if you are on the hunt for a performer diamond and don't mind the footwork to get it set in a custom design yourself.
