Actually, I would not consider this an "old" reports. As long as the stone is the right one to match the report and niether the stine could change nor GIA's standards have... no worries. If this is a "second hand" stone, there's alwasy some questions wether it gor chipped or whatever, but this can be easily identified by any jeweler. What no one can say with the given specs is how the stone might look. If there is anything to doubt about, it's that "60X60" stone, but as long as you don't want that cut optimized to death and feel good about the price, why not Did you get to see the thisg?

If it has been worn, what kind of inclusions does the diamond have? Any feathers that reach the surface, or naturals on the girdle? Any thing that if it took a blow could cause possible damage? 3. Would the seller be willing to have the diamond recertified? This is not that expensive to do. Another option would be to just have an independent appraisal done on it to be sure it has not sustained any damage since the cert was issued, if it has been worn. icelady

I did look at that stone and I really like it! Ofcourse I called him back and told him I want to look at other stones side-by-side with this one to determine if the shallow depth is affecting the "fire" appearance of this stone...if not, then I think I'm going to buy it! The whole thing will be 2.04 TCW in a 3 stone setting an will cost me $6,900...

Garry H (Cut Nut) Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,582 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2000	the stone is likely getting a bit shallow. Thre are lots of old stones around that are fine - dont worry about the age - but consider having the stone examined well to ensure there is no external damage. Have you seen it through an ideal-scope - check out the reference chart http://www.ideal-scope.com/idealscope_reference_chart.asp You will see a lot of darkness then the stone is too shallow Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au
