Okay guys I have learned so much from this forum so I first wanted to say thank you!
I am looking at a 1.08 carat round diamond. I found what I think is a good deal at a local reputable jewelry store. The diamond does not have any certifications but the jeweler is GIA certified and we looked at it under a 60x microscope. His ratings on the diamond are VS2/F, Ideal and he will give me an appraisal, dimensions, and everything you would get from the GIA report. I looked at it and it appeared to be flawless even under a microscope. He is willing to sell it to me for 6,600 with a platinum tiffany setting. I know I don''t have the exact specs. What are your initial thoughts? He said the diamond would appraise for around 9,000 or more. Thanks!

He seems very honest and showed me his certifications.
