Since you're in the NYC area, I would check out the sites for the following. http://www.exceldiamonds.com or http://www.superbcert.com Barry or Judah http://www.goodoldgold.com - Jonathan http://www.diiamondsideals.com Megan You probably will get a better price or a better stone for the same amount. To answer your question I'd be cautious with the depth of this stone. 63+% could be too deep, but perhaps it isn't. Relying on numbers primarilly doesn't always end up with what you'd expect. If a merchant lowers his price by $ 3000.00 on a $14,000.00 stone, I'd be concerned that the original asking price was made that way so they can offer you a discount, which in many cases is like bait on a fish hook. A lot of consumers make the fatal mistake of putting the price "ahead" of analyzing the diamonds true quality. Don't be tempted by offers of discounts, buy the diamond not the price... I know this concept is a little hard to swallow for some, but it is a much more prudent approach. The PRIMARY consideration to purchase should be made considering the quality of the diamond. In addition when buying a diamond of such a price, you should STRONGLY consider having an independent gemologist review to make sure you know as much as you can about the choice you made to make sure it is represented correctly, talk with you about what you really expect the stone to be. Hope this is helpful for you. Rockdoc

hey mine!! welcome to ps you will find many helpful people here with lots of great information. it would be a good idea to start your own post with your questions and information, so that others may help you individually and not get answers confused with the original poster of this topic. make sure to include all of the information that you have on the stone, including the cut (shape). best of luck to you!!

Date: 2/25/2005 1:59:46 PM Hi MineAuthor: MINE!! I need some help!!! Could some PLEASE tell me if this diamond sounds ok? We are on a budget and I want to make sure that it does not sound as if there are some serious flaws or drawbacks.

Please HELP> Welcome to PS It appears that the stone is an Asscher or a Princess shape. A 72% table could be slightly large, and the 82% depth is probably way to deep. Weight that is in the belly of the stone. along with a thick girdle can take up 2/3rd's of the stones weight. This means the face up appearance may appear smaller than a stone that has more crown height and smaller pavilion depth. You should ask for the crown height and pavilion depth as well as girdle thickness too. Provide more info about this purchase, but with fancy shapes to really be accurate the stone should be seen by an unrelated, indepentdent professional who can advise you properly. Also find out WHO graded this stone. Is this the seller's grading, or is it from GIA or AGS? Rockdoc
