desibuyer Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 1/6/2005 Member Since: 11/12/2004	I am about to purchase a diamond and wanted to get the experts opinions on the specs to make sure it was a good deal. It is a .84 carat, Color: H, Clarity: SI1, Depth: 62.4, Table: 56, Crown Angle: 34.8,Crown %: 15.5 ,Pavilion Angle: 40.8, Pavilion %: 43.3, Girdle: 0.8%-1.7% FACETED, Polish: Ideal,Symmetry: Ideal, Culet: Pointed, Fluorescence: Negligible,Measurements: 6.03-6.07X3.77. My girlfriend was into the whole carat concept, but this seems to be the closest I can find within my price range, and is going to run me 3390. I figure if you calculate the total of the carats on the setting and the diamonds, it will be over a carat, and when I put the numbers into the HCA and it comes to a 1.5. Is this a good deal? Thanks to everyone on this list for helping to educate me.

Otherwise, nothing wrong with your pick. I am not into the "carat concept", but if you say she is Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

But...seeing Ana's comments, and the choice from DCD, that is another idea you may want to consider. Both should be nice options.
