ukz483 Rough Rock Total Posts: 5 Last Post: 10/10/2001 Member Since: 10/9/2001	I'm considering a diamond at a local store who gave me their "best price" after I showed them some internet prices. Not sure if it's a good deal, and what additional information I need. Here's what I do have: 1.43 carat Depth 62.3 Table 60 VVS2 D thin to slightly thick polish VG symmetry G 7.06-7.13 x 4.4 mm GIA price $11,600 Is that a good price? What other questions should I ask? It's a large local chain in Seattle. Should I take it somewhere after to have it appraised? Any tips on where to do that? Thank you very much!

It would rate medium at best with an ideal-scope. www.ideal-scope.com Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au

GIA report doesn't show crown and pavilion angles. They can be obtained from Sarin or Ogi measurements. We calculated HCA scores for different combinations of crown and pavilion angles for each pair of Depth and Table. Best possible HCA score for this diamond would be 4 (good). Pricescope
