mcho Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 6/21/2002 Member Since: 5/21/2002	Looking at the following stones. Will be for a platinum setting. Sorry for the length... 1. 0.95 carats, signature ideal, H, VS1, depth 68%/table 69%, symmetry VG, excellent polish, medium girdle. 5.74x5.50x3.74 mm, crown height 8.9%, l/w ratio 1.04 $4,843 2. 1.11 carats, signature ideal, H, VS1, depth 68.8%/table 68%, symmetry very good, excellent polish, girdle thin to thick. 5.80x5.76x3.96 mm, crown height 9.7%, l/w ratio 1.01 $6200 3. 1.12, VG, G, VS2, depth 72.4%/ table 72%, symmetry good, girdle thin to sl thick, strong blue fluorescense, 6.06x5.57x4.03 mm, l/w 1.09 $5421 4. 1.21, VG, VS1, depth 71.1% / table 74%, symmetry VG, polish VG, girdle thin to very thick, 6.07x5.85x4.16 mm $5761 - How do I try to compare the signature ideals to other cuts? Do I just use table / girdle? - Looking at blue nile by word of mouth good experience - why are there so few blue nile diamonds on pricescope? - Do I really need to get it appraised if it's certified and comes from a reputable place. If so, does anyone know any appraisers in the Boston area? Thanks a bundle

Do I just use table / girdle? ---------------- You can also try to search for diamonds with total depth and table for 1A - 2A AGA grade, have you seen Fancy Shaped Diamonds. Here are some examples for 1A class Table and Total depth: Carat Col Clar Dpt Tab Lab Gdl Cul Sym Pol Flr Measurements L/W Price 0.92 G VS1 70.4% 64% GIA gd gd no 5.25-5.11-3.88 1.03 $3837 1.05 H VS2 73.7% 67% GIA md-stk no gd vg no 5.615.484.04 1.02 $4158 1.05 G VS2 70.8% 65% GIA t-m no gd ex no 5.82-5.66-4.01 1.03 $4492 1.2 H VS1 71.8% 68% GIA m no gd gd no 6.01x5.88x4.22 1.02 $4692 1.05 G VS1 66.9% 66% GIA t-stk no gd gd mb 5.626.093.76 1.08 $4848 1.09 G VS1 68.6% 62% GIA gd gd no 6.10-5.61-3.85 1.09 $5022 Once you located the diamonds, the best would be to compare them yourself to chose which one you like the most. ------- - Looking at blue nile by word of mouth good experience - why are there so few blue nile diamonds on pricescope? ---------------- Yes weve heard about positive experience with Blue Nile too. Blue Nile doesn't list many stones comparing to other internet companies: "only" about 4,000 diamonds (compare with over 80,000 diamonds listed in the web). ---------------- - Do I really need to get it appraised if it's certified and comes from a reputable place. If so, does anyone know any appraisers in the Boston area? ---------------- Good question. Usually it is a good practice to get an independent appraisal. You can use it for insurance. Would you do an inspection when you buy a house? However if you feel comfortable without additional verification, it is completely up to you. Re: Boston area.
