 		This is what I would do.

1. Read diamond tutorial

2. Check how much similar GIA or AGS graded diamond costs in the web using price comparison from the front page

3. Ask the seller about return/exchange policy in written. Without return policy I wouldn't risk to buy sight unseen unless it costs as little as you can easily afford to loose.

4. If return policy is satisfactory, I'd ask whether the diamond has any grading report. If it has GIA or AGS report it's one story. EGL or IGI - second option. None - third one. In each case you can guess a probability for the diamond to be overgraded and hence estimate a real price.

5. If the diamond has a grading report, ask for proportions to find out about the cut.

5. You can also ask the seller to send the stone to independent expert for verification. See the list of independent appraisers.

Hope this helps. Although it is risky business

Good luck!
