It is I upgraded it from my original pear and I feel like this may not be a great quality for what I paid and I don’t love it

No I did contact the seller again and voiced that I felt as time went by I liked it less and less

Umm...here's a GIA S12 but the clarity plot looks a lot cleaner than your stone, unfortunately.


Of course, you if try to sell back to a jeweler, you won't get this amount. Good luck and I hope there's a good resolution for you.

I understand thank you wanted a rough estimate to see what my options are but also a better understanding of what part has made it so murky and not shiny

I'm not a cut expert, but I think it's due to the fact that it is on the shallow side at 55.7% in addition to the clarity.

Are you in Montreal? If you need someone to speak with, you can always connect with The Diamond Shopper (Aaron). He is out of Toronto, but I have dealt with him while in Ottawa... everyone here will be happy to help as well, but if you feel more comfortable dealing with a person closer by, he is great.

Ok so I sent an email see where that goes! Comments were so harsh my head is spinning now very confused

Harsh from the original seller? That’s not good, that should never be the case. Have you had it for a while?

No harsh from a group I posted on. The seller took mine in exchange upgrade and was super nice and kind. I am very surprised that she felt this was a good quality is what I struggle with and feels it isn’t murky which isn’t the case. Had it for 18 months

Well - for what it’s worth, no one will be like that here.

Thank you I need help understanding where to go from here and where it went wrong. Obviously value as well. My first I bought myself and was GIA so when I took a seller they came very recommended and was really nice and professional. But now the harsh comments and so many makes me question all of it.

Well, I’m excited to see what you will end up with now. Most here will be able to give you a second/third opinion, and Aaron is fantastic.

What may have not been a good trade will hopefully turn out better in the end.

I mean, a 5 carat pear is amazing lol. But it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, it’s how you feel about it.

I’m just talking some cut experts @lovedogs @Kim N @DejaWiz . Since the title of the post does not mention that you want input about cut, I fear that some people won’t click on it. Hopefully, you can get some more feedback this way!

Fancy cuts definitely need videos to be judged for cut quality, so I can't help much here. And I wouldn't be able to judge value or worth because it's an unusual size

Seeing approx $76-104k for 5 carat H SI2 pears on the PS search engine (retail pricing).

Figure anywhere from 20-80% of low retail for customer trade-in value...wide range, yes, but there are an excruciating number of variables at play which will determine customer value, especially at this color and clarity for a larger carat weight fancy shape.

Apparently from the other thread on Red*** you got hammered because the diamiond is very included. Post a full on view of the diamond so we can see the inclusions.

It is graded as a SI2 on the certificate, would that be considered as very included for a fancy shape brilliant cut?

I am not a cut nut, however, I do not believe so.
