Those cannot be the measurements of a 1.34 carat stone. Could you have mixed them up?

Check PS for 1.00 I VS1 GIA stones. They are running in the $4k - $5k, not the $7k, range.

Yes, the pavilion number is % not angle. The crown number is an angle. The CutAdviser gives a score of 1 (exactly), Ex-Ex-Ex-VG for this.

Tiffany?

Otherwise, does $7500 include the setting? That would make things more reasonable. Othewise, 6k sounds more like it even for a great cut and what not. There is cheaper, of course.

That 43 is probably the pavilion percentage, not the angle. The angle should be in the 40-41 range. Entering it as the percentage gives it a 1.2.

In my opinion, you are paying several thousand dollars too much for this stone. You can get a branded H&A 1.25 I VS1 stone for less. Or you can up color and clarity (and cut quality) for about the same price.
