Hi,
The make looks nice from the cert info and if you say the SI2 is eye clean then it would appear OK depending on the price of course..........

I compared it to a GIA H of comparable size and they were virtually identical. The price is $9500, what do you think?

Here is a comparable stone for about $1k less ($8432 on the PS search engine):

1.70 G SI2 EGL

Personally, I''d prefer a GIA or AGS cert with such a large budget (take into consideration that EGL prices reflect the assumption that GIA would grade it more strictly).

These stones are bigger in diameter than your stone and have H&A cuts:

1.64 I SI2 H&A for $8164

1.61 J VS1 ACA H&A for $9499

1.722 J SI1 H&A for $9745
