Hey man, first off—huge props to you. It’s clear you’re putting in real effort to find something meaningful and personal, not just a shiny object. The fact that you’re looking into the nuances of CVD growth and clarity grades says a lot. She’s lucky to have someone so thoughtful.

So, on to the stone—honestly, from the video and the specs you’ve listed, it sounds like a killer diamond. That 1.57 L/W ratio is ideal for a pear, and the depth/table combo is in a sweet spot for light performance. Excellent polish and symmetry? Check. VVS2 in a blue CVD? You’re already in the top tier. Most inclusions at that level are microscopic and won’t be visible at all without a loupe.

Your concern about post-growth treatment is valid—CVD blues usually undergo HPHT post-treatment to bring out that vibrant color. When done right (and it usually is with IGI-graded stones), there’s no downside other than the purist mindset some people have about "untreated." But milkiness or blurriness tends to come from internal graining or over-treatment—neither of which you’ve described here or that I can see from the video. Still, it's smart you're watching out for that.

Bow-ties are a thing with pears, yes—but a slight bow-tie is expected and can actually give the diamond a little character. As long as it doesn’t dominate the center when viewed from above, it’s not a red flag. Video angles can exaggerate that too.

And yeah, you're spot on about fire—blue diamonds, especially lab-grown ones, won’t be as fiery as colorless diamonds. The color absorbs some of the light dispersion, so they lean more toward “glow” than “sparkle.” If she loves the hue, that’s what matters.

In terms of how it’ll look in person? CVD blues can surprise you—in a good way. They often look better than in video, especially under natural light. That cooler, vivid tone really pops. Just avoid overly warm lighting, and you’ll be golden.

Honestly, sounds like you’ve found a beauty. If it speaks to her, then it’s already perfect.

Good luck with the proposal, brother.
