Looks great even in the dark.. :) So please let me know if you guys think this is a good deal or if I should keep looking. GIA Certified Diamond 1316xxxx Round Brilliant 1.51 Ct. Measurements 7.35 - 7.43 x 4.56 mm Proportions Depth 61.7% Table 58% Girdle Medium, Faceted Culet None Finish Polish Excellent Symmetr Excellent Clarity Grade SI1 Color Grade F Fluorescense None Price: $11,500 (Diamond) plus $800 for the platinum solitaire setting installed and tax free. Diagram: As far as the diagram goes it has 1 small cloud but it is not viislbe to my 20/20 vision and i did see it under 10X mag. but i had to look at it from th side to see it. It also has 1 small needle or feathers by the girdle on the edge. So what do you guys think? For me the most important thing is cut and the proportions looked pretty good to me. GIA doesn't give enough info though... This diamond has a lot of life that i could see but i'm not an expert.

Not as a matter of principle, of course. Just for comparison with this E-SI1 perhaps. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

I just got the word that the appraiser I hired to do the work finished. Called him and he mentioned that the diamond is great and the brilliance factor or whatever is like 88.5%. He liked the diamond and thought the price was good. Looking at various sights including this one i noticed that there are stones for that price and these specs out there although i'm sure i'm paying a premium. The store i'm buying the diamond from says they need 10 back for this at $11,500 and mentioned he's making 10. Sooooo. Don't know. So far it's a go. I'll get the rest of the report from the gemologist tomorrow and let you guys know the specs.

Tell him you like this stone, but feel it's too expensive for what you are getting, and see if he will budge. If not, give him your number in case he changes his mind, and let him sit a couple days... If you name a reasonable price, he might get a call back. A lot of times they will take some profit when compared to no profit. By the way, when I bought mine, it turns out blue nile was making roughly 500$ over wholesale prices... That's a much tighter margin than $1500
