I am looking to buy two princess cut diamonds to mount them on 14k white gold studs. I found two .34 E VS2 stones. My question is- Do princess cut diamonds, or any other cuts for that matter, have their inclusions plotted on GIA certs? The vendor I spoke to told me that this is the case for 90% of diamonds less than 1/2 carat. Is he b/sing me and should I stay clear?

unfortunatly he isnt bsing you. Nearly everyone has switched to the non-plotted certs on diamonds under .5ct to save money. Honestly I think it sux because in most cases they dont pass the savings on. Id require clarity photos or looking at them myself under a 10x scope before id buy them. If enough people do this they will be forced to move back to the plotted certs. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

I wold not worry about the inclusions in a VS2. I would worry a bit about the cut of these guys though... with high color and clarity, I hope someone toog good care to make them sparkle too  It is really an exception to find stones of this size with certs. But it happens more nd more with web sales and these are quite high class stones too ! Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

No... these are nice I was dreading some strage, unmatched cuts. But no. Too bad there is no 'formula' ti turn the numbers about a princess cut into soe prediction of brilliance. However, there is no red falg about these two - just a very well matched, top quality pair of princess cuts. And cheap ! I woudl have expected $200 more on each... very nice. Where are these from ?

Is $82 a reasonable price to have these stones mounted on 14k white gold studs? If it's too much, I can just order the loose stones and find someone to do it locally.

While I have never bought ear rings it sounds reasonable to me. The cheaper local places that have someone on staff to set diamonds charge $20 per diamond on ear rings. So that would leave $42 for the settings localy. $82 sounds like a good deal. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

Most of the major appraisal organizations require members to plot clarity on diamonds 1 carat and larger. Finding reports with accurate clarity plots on smaller diamonds is less common. Getting a plot made should be easy enough. We can do them for you and so could many other appraisers. It does not need to be from a big lab to be accurate. All it takes is good eyes and a coordinated red and green pen. David S. Atlas |

Acutally I just found out that the total price is going to be less, 888. The original price quoted was for setting of round diamonds.
