 		I have been reading this board for several weeks as I have been trying to learn more about diamonds prior to my purchase.

I came across a 3 stone Ring with 3 Princess Cut diamonds in a platinum setting for $5900.

1.06 Carat
5.68 X 5.54 X 4.03
Depth 72.7
Table 74
Good Finish
Color G
Clarity VVS2
Flouresence None
Very Good Cut
Girdle - Thin to Thick
Cullet none
Finish Good

The other two diamonds are .74 carats g color and vs clarity. I have no further information on their specs.

It is GIA certified

Is this a fair price? It is from an internet seller.

Thanks

Irie

 		As a general guideline, the table should be smaller than the depth. This diamond has a rather large table... I'd prefer a stone with 55-72% table for a great look. Of course numbers aren't everything with fancies, but with these simple rules you can avoid some bad performes. Also, a >9% crown height is recommended for a better performance.

I did a little research and found some VERY well cut stones, so that you can get an idea:
1.12 I/VVS 2 This one is deep, but from the pic looks gorgeous
1.09 J/VS 1

Or from the expert selection at www.whiteflash.com:
1.02 G/VS 1
1.04 G/VS 1
1.20 F/SI 1

 		Thank you for the response. Another new learning for me.

I noticed there is a flurry of activity on this board today. It must be that time of year to purchase a diamond.

I now fully understand the comparison of diamonds and ice.
