We found a stone but the vendor doesn't have it in-house....your thoughts please?
I thought this stone was okay because in past threads about stones with more fire, Storm mentioned something about the LGF needing to be higher for GIA certed diamonds.

0.84ct F-VVS2
6.05 - 6.07 x 3.77mm
Depth: 62.2%
Table: 55%
Crown: 35.5'
Pavilion: 40.6'
Star Length: 50%
Lower Half: 80%

Would the crown angle be too steep? No ASET or anything like that from this vendor unfortunately. If we want to see it we'd have to put a deposit and most likely won't get it back, which is why I'd like all your thoughts please!!

Numbers looked ok to me. What is the girdle variation?

Girdle: Medium, Faceted 3.5%

Is that it?

ya, that's it. Everything looks good to me so far from the numbers.

Good Luck. :)

How much of a deposit would you need to put on the diamond, is it a smaller amount like a shipping fee? 









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...

Unfortunately no, I'd have to put at least 20% down because they don't have the stone in-house. If I don't like it, then they would use that credit for another stone, but otherwise, it is non-refundable. I would be stuck with just this vendor and these stones are few and far between.

That's why I'd like to hear what everyone thinks!

Could u look for it on line, there are so many good sites, and give you the exact information !.
I thought the benefit of buying it from a shop is that you can physically see it before making a decision...
Not if you have to pay 20% non-refundable deposit.
Doesn't sound handy for me.

I am still looking online, but to be honest it's cheaper to buy locally. No shipping/duty/taxes, which there would be with Pricescope vendors. I found one I thought I liked with a pricescope vendor but the wire fee FX rate/shipping/taxes/duty put it WAY over budget! =(

This is the ONLY stone I can get locally that actually falls within the AGS0 lines on the HCA.
