Hello ALL,

Something is wrong.
Just back from appraiser.

Here are the full specs of my RBC:
H color (appraised as H-I), SI1 clarity (appraised as VS2), 60.6 Depth, 60 Table, Girdle Medium (appraised as slightly thick to medium), Culet None, Polish Very Good (appraised as good), Symmetry Good (appraised as very good).

Pavilion depth % estimated as 44.1 (stone already in setting).
Crown depth % estimated as 13.78 (stone already in setting).

Proportions are 2A –international fine trade cut

HCA results (using pavilion and crown depth % estimations) are:
Light Return = GOOD
Fire = FAIR
Scinitialltion = FAIR
Spread = VERY GOOD
Total Visual Performance = 5.5 – Good – Only if price is your main criteria.

What do you think?

I paid $8,300.

Now that you have more information, what do you recommend?

Thanks.

Eee I would recommend to return it and get your money back. The %'s will not be as accurate as angles, I didn't realize that your stone was already set...that is a little more difficult for the appraiser to eyeball. But if he feels confident with those %'s...then I would return the stone. It's not going to be as beautiful as it should be. The HCA is on a scale of 1-10 and 5 in my opinion is a horrible score.




What you paid for this stone is a little low as compared to what an excellent cut stone would cost you--another case of if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Return it, get your money back and start looking online and continuing to educate yourself. In the end you will be happy you did.

Good luck!
