Hello All,


I am a first time poster on PS.  I have been with my gf for 6 and a half years, and im ready to settle down.  But theres one thing missing...I need a nice diamond to knock her socks off.  I've been searching far and wide for a stone.  and i am a little hesitant to pull the trigger. so thats where you all come along, gimme some ideas, opinions, good bad outrageous, anything please.  

Shape: Round Brilliant

Carat: 1.5
Color: F
Clarity: SI 1
Cut: Excellent

Measurements: 7.35-7.44X4.46
Depth %: 60.3
Table %: 58
Girdle: M
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Excellent
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Crown Angle: 35
Pavillion Angle: 40.6

This Diamond is around the 10k to 11k range.

is this a good, bad, or great deal? if it's a lemon, let a fellow PS'er know please.  I plan on placing the diamond in a Tacori setting.  anyone out there an appraiser?  i sure would like some help on taking a deeper look at the reference diagram.  Thanks all.  Happy Holidays.

Welcome to Pricescope,

The diamond looks very promising, have you seen it in person?









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

i have not seen this diamond in person.  it will be shipped soon. 

just curious, should i be concerned if the diamond has a "very small" culet?  does that make or break a price on diamonds?  thanks for the reply everyone.

Also, with the specs of the diamond, is the $10,500 pricing seem justified, overly inflated or under valued? or an overall good deal? 

any websites where i can kind of compare my diamond to ones with similiar specs??

I guess im feeling paranoid because this is one of the biggest purchases i have made. you guys can PM me and i'll show you the GIA report.  Thanks again.

Jason

The price looks on par.

I thought your stone does not have a culet?

on the website it says no culet, but when i looked at the GIA cert it say very small.  does that make a difference on the diamond's performance or price?  thanks again.

very small culet is not visible, so it is not a problem on the light performance. Some says having a culet may make the stone safer at setting, less chance of a chip happening at the culet.

No problem at all, nor will you see any difference.  Read more below.
