DiehardSearcher Rough Rock Total Posts: 94 Last Post: 7/30/2003 Member Since: 5/27/2002	I have been poring over this site for the past month and have educated myself immensely. I am very grateful I found it before I did something careless. I have found a diamond (through a contact on this site) and am hoping your expertise can give me more guidance. --From EGL-- Round Brilliant, G, SI2, 2.12 ct Total depth: 62.9% Table width: 68% Crown height: 15% Pavillion depth: 43% Girdle thickness: Medium, faceted Polish: Good to Very Good Symmetry: Very Good Culet: None Price just under $10k A few direct questions: 1. Any other info I should try to obtain that would be beneficial? 2. What can an independent appraiser do for me? If his/her opinion is less than EGL, would it make a difference? 3. Is it common practice to buy site unseen. Or are people in the habit of making some sort of arrangement (what kind)? Thanks! -Nathan

Is it common practice to buy site unseen. Or are people in the habit of making some sort of arrangement (what kind)? ---------------- I'd verify color and clarity with independent appraiser. Some vendors will send diamonds to David Atlas, AGA before you pay for the diamond. David would also check it with ideal-scope. In this scenario you won't worry about buying sight unseen. You also can inquire about crown and pavilion angles (Sarin report) for this diamond because EGL report shows rounded depth % that are not accurate enough. However, main concerns can still be about accuracy of color and clarity grades. Pricescope
