Who is this diamond certified by? Based on the specifications you've provided, it sounds like a gorgeous stone. Aside from the unique F VVS2 pedigree, the cut on this stone is superb. This is of course, assuming that the diamond is what it is.

Again, if the stone is what it is, the price is good as well. Hope this helps.

The information given reads like a GIA report.

The cut angles (35° crown angle, 40.8° pavillion angle, 15.5% crown height, 43% pavillion height) are exactly the same as the diamond I bought my fiance a couple of months ago only hers has a 56% table, 55% stars, and 80% lower half. Maybe cut by the same cutter? I've noticed a good deal of Blue Nile's better cut diamonds have these proportions and appear to be from the same cutter.

Should be a great diamond, meets every definition of ideal (GIA & HCA excellant, AGS & AGA ideal). Mine's F color as well, but smaller carat size and less clarity which made it cost about a third of the price.
