mgw1975 Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 7/2/2004 Member Since: 7/1/2004	Hi.... I'm a rookie at all of this but a research fiend! I think I've found a decent performing stone but what about the price. $8750 to $9000 1.29c AGS Ideal 0 G VS1 Table: 55% Depth: 61.9% (isn't it a little sketchy that so many are just under 62?) Crown A: 34.9 Pav A: 40.9 Crown H: 15.7% Pav D: 43.1% Polish: Ideal Symmetry: Ideal Proportions: Ideal Culet: Pointed Girdle: Faceted (1% to 2%)...what does this mean? Any input would be greatly appreciated, I don't mind giving the dealer a fair profit but how do I know what's fair? -M

Magnum Cut Rock Total Posts: 342 Last Post: 7/28/2004 Member Since: 3/26/2004	It looks like it is a nicely cut stone, at a fair price. What are the diameter measurements on it? If they are 7.00x7.00x4.30, then the same diamond you're looking at is offered by five different pricescope vendors, with the price ranging from $9,200 to $10,100, so it looks like the price you listed is pretty competitive, even if they aren't the same exact stone.

Depth is actually in a great spot, 56-61? That sounds VERY off! For the picky "ideal" cut searchers, table should be 55-57 and depth should be around 60-62. Just out of curiousity, why the VS1? If you found a similarly cut and spec'd G but in an SI1 grade, you'd save some $$. I don't know if budget is an issue but as someone who used to have a G VS1 and gave it up to buy a better cut slightly larger H SI1...I am so happy with my decision. The color difference is negligible and clarity is totally not even an issue, my SI1 is eye clean and so was my VS1!

mgw1975 Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 7/2/2004 Member Since: 7/1/2004	The measurements are 6.98 - 7.03 x 4.34 How do these effect the interpretation of the performace of the stone? Isn't the larger diameter on a round supposed to be listed first, it's not on the copy of the cert I have. Any ideas?

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,901 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	The measurements are fine. Magnum was just giving an example...a range such as the one you gave is not out of the ordinary and the average size IS 7mm. Looks good from specs. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein
