I have been offered a pear diamond by a co-worker who's going thru a divorce. (yes, they all know i'm a diamond nut) It is a beautiful diamond. What concerns me is the depth.
The GIA report states:
Laser Inscribed: xxxxx
7.48 x 4.95 x 2.52
.61 carat
Color: E
Clarity: VS2
Depth: 50.8%
Table: 59%
Girdle: Slightly Thick to Thick, Faceted
Culet: Very Small
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
Characteristics: Knot, crystal (way on the bottom)
Despite the shallow depth, t doesn't window, and there are no bowties. Are there any dangers in resetting such a shallow stone?
It comes in a very nice contemporary looking white gold mount w/ .25ctw rb diamonds, but i may reset it into a pendant and sell the mount on eBay.
I managed to talk her down to $950. What do you think?
ETA: it is GIA graded, and I've been looking for a pear diamond, so this comes at the perfect time.
