Bluenile diamond at a competitive price??

kwake Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 8/25/2004 Member Since: 8/23/2004	Hello all - I'm new to PS and definitely appreciate all the insight and info. Great site! I just purchased this diamond (my first!) from Bluenile for an engagement ring. Given the varying plus/minus discussion of BN on this site, I thought I'd go for it, since the price seems to be comparable to the other vendors here at PS. But some say Bluenile is overpriced. I really appreciated their ease of ordering, though. .95 carat Round Color Grade G Clarity Grade VS1 Depth 62.1 % Table 55 % Measurements 6.29 x 6.33 x 3.92 mm Girdle Medium, faceted Polish Very Good Symmetry Very Good Culet None Fluorescence None Report GIA dossier from 8/11/04 w/ laser inscription PRICE $5,043 - $100 discount = $4943 Any opinions on this diamond while I'm waiting to receive it and within the 30 day return? Sorry I don't have crown and pavilion angles. I had it set in their platinum tapered cathedral setting (added $550). THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE! Erik

Request the SARIN report to put yourself at ease. If they did not run the report prior to shipment, it might be harder to get hold of it. The bottom line is that if you love the diamond, go for it!!

kwake Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 8/25/2004 Member Since: 8/23/2004	Thanks for the tips and feedback! I did indeed request the Sarin report from BN (they were very receptive and prompt) and as the few of you guessed, the stone was deep according to HCA: The sarin report: Depth: 62.2 Table: 56.4 (incidentally, quite different than the GIA cert of 55% - why?) Crown angle: 35.1 Pavilion angle: 41.3 HCA Grade: 4.3 Light return: Very good Fire: Fair Scintillation Fair Spread: Very good I'm very new at this, but I would guess that this wouldn't be a great diamond to purchase... Here's an alternate I think I'm going to get as an alternate to the above. Feedback appreciated! .92 carat round brilliant G/VS2 (crystal, cloud) Polish and Symmetry: Very good, very good Girdle: very thn to med No Fluorescence Sarin report: Depth: 60.3 Table: 57.2 Crown angle: 34 Pav angle: 40.9 HCA: 1.1 Light return: Excellent Fire: Excellent Scintillation: Excellent Spread: Excellent Seems like a better value than the original, yea? Especially since the measurements make the diameter of this one is slightly bigger than the .95 carat. Any comments/advice? Thanks! Erik

You will most likely get more bang for the buck out of this one! Great job!!!
