washparoo Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 2/11/2002 Member Since: 2/11/2002	I am ready to buy a diamond from a dealer in Pittsburgh. It is a round diamond that is 1.07 carats, G in color, and an SI2. I do not have the cut numbers yet. The cost for the diamond is $3300 if I pay cash. The origional price was $4000. Is this a good diamond? He will not tax me for the cash payment. Is this a good idea and a good price? Please let me know!

Chances are, from its price, it might be an EGL graded stone. Compared to other GIA well-cut 1.07's that range from $3900 and up, it could be a great deal or not. Let's wait for the numbers.....

washparoo Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 2/11/2002 Member Since: 2/11/2002	what if the stone does not have a certification? Does that mean that it is a lemon? Out of the hundreds of diamonds we have looked at, it is probably one of the brightest and nicest looking. Diamond in mind is already set in a ring, but the jeweler said he would put the stone into another band of our choice. The jeweler is Blair Jewelry in Pittsburgh. Have you heard good or bad on them?

I always thought it's a matter of personal taste or preferences. Some might prefer to have whiter stone while diamond is just eye-clean. :) Pricescope
