Hi everyone.
I'm searching for an princess cut diamond for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I found one through USA Cert through a Pricescope search. Here are the stats.

1.01 ct. princess
GIS cert
F color
VS2
Depth 70.1%
Table 70%
m-stk
no culet
vg sym
excl polish
no flour.
crown height of 10.4%

I am very new to the world of diamonds, but through my limited research on pricescope and elsewhere, the stats on this diamond seem to be pretty good. I am going to arrange to have it shipped to an appraiser in my area and then go from there. I'm going to try to find a setting locally. Any thoughts on the diamond or other things to watch out for?
Thanks!

I'd be afraid to answer your question (not an expert) but you said you were looking for an emerald cut and these specs state they are for a princess cut.

IS "GIS" typo for "GIA" ?

The numbers sound fine - reason enough (IMO) to call the stone in and take a look.  It would be nice to know if the tempting specs also deliver the top brilliance they promise this far.

Any chance to obtain Ideal-Scope photo or any other standard evidence of brilliance ?  If not (common, since not many sellers select fancies for optics)... there isn't much to talk about, as far as I know - just size (diameter) for weight and price.

I'm n ot a princess cut expert, so can't comment specifically on the stone.  You can look up cut info on fancy stones at www.gemappraisers.com under the fancy shape selector link. 

I have purchased from USA Cert, and they were very good to work with.  Martin is knowledgable and honest.  However, I don't think they see any of these stones.  They  just work with the manufacturer to get the information and, drop ship them to you or a local appraiser.  They are knowledgable about diamonds, being gemologists, so they can give you a lot of info and help, but I don't think they usually have seen the stones.  Thus, it is important to find a good appraiser to have it sent to.  If you can't find one locally, I would suggest one of the active ones here -- they are top notch.  Using their experienced eyes, even if you don't get to see it initially, can be a good way to go.
