Here are the specifics on a stone I am considering. Any comments?
Round Brilliant
1.25 carat
F/VS1
6.93-6.90x4.27
table depth: 61.7%
table width: 57%
crown height: 15%
pavilion depth: 44%
girdle: thin
polish: VG
symmetry: EX
culet: none
fluorescence: none
graining: nil
comments: "Excellent Ideal Cut"
It looked great to me in the store, comparing it side by side with other diamonds in the similar range, but now that I do a little more research into the details, I''m second guessing. This grades out on the Holloway Cut Advisor as only a 4.5, even though it''s listed as an "Excellent Ideal Cut." Should I be concerned about that?
Second, this certification report is from EGL. I''m aware that they are not quite as well respected as GIA or AGS, but is this a red flag? Should I be worried about this and does it have any real impact on the quality or value of the diamond?
FWIW, price of the diamond is $9700.
