I am currently looking at this diamond: Round 1.32 carat 7.16-7.05x4.31 Cut Ideal "so they say" Color I Clarity SI1 Polish Ex Sym Ex Cutlet none Flor. none Depth 60.7% Width 57% Crown 14% Pavillion 43% My soon to be fiance and her circle of friends are not the type to go around showing off their certificates. So I basically just want something that looks good on her finger, as Im sure everyone else does. What are your opinions on this ring without being able to see it. P.S. The certificate is EGL

Depending on the EGL Lab, the Cert could be fairly accurate or actual color/clarity could be off by a grade level or two. Frankly, I don't see calling the cut Ideal with a diameter variance of 0.11mm. I would think this would give the diamond an "out of round" appearance. That said, the HCA score, using the %'s was fairly good. 0.8, TIC, Ex/Ex/Ex/Vg. An HCA score obtained using %'s is not nearly as accurate as it would be if you had actual angle measurements. This diamond would still probably have an actual score below 2 and could be worth considering. Make sure the Vendor has a solid, no questions asked return policy. Once you see the ring, if you like the diamond, get an independent appraisal performed ASAP (before your return period expires) to verify the grading and make of the diamond. Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! ____________________________________________________________ Just a regular person trying to be helpful. Consult a Pro prior to purchase!

Scroll down the page a bit to Giangi's post about Cert Numbers. You might want to contact White Flash to verify which EGL lab the Cert is from. If I read Giangi's post correctly, this might be an Isreal Cert. The second number would stand for 2004, when the diamond was evaluated, which corresponds to what I read.
