Are you looking for a loose OEC that 7mm? I always seems to find 7mm stones already in rings....
I don't know what normal spread would be! haha... this stone is 6.11 x 6.27, which makes is sound rather unround but in reality it is 6.18 - 6.20 at most points. Depth is 67% or somesuch, so it is not a shallow stone. The stone was sold to me as a 1.03ct with an appraisal indicating 6.18mm diameter and Fortekitty, who knows her stuff, guessed it would weigh between 0.92 and 0.99ct I think to confidently assume an OEC is hitting the 1ct mark it needs to be more like 6.25mm in diameter, 6.3 for sure. Seems that 1.2ct stones are around 6.8mm and to hit 7mm the OECs tend to weigh more like 1.4ct or even greater.
I would ideally like a 7mm stone for a killer deal and I dont' care if it is loose or set But most seem to push $4k and I would want it closer to $3k, and less tinted is better. But I'm not *really* in the market right now.
