tareyton Rough Rock Total Posts: 71 Last Post: 7/6/2006 Member Since: 7/20/2005	I haven't searched for other stones of the same size but judging by what I paid per carat for a F vs2 Infinity branded AGS000 stone the price seams kind of high. My price was around 8K per carat while yours is 11.2K per carat.

diamondsbylauren Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,128 Last Post: 1/5/2006 Member Since: 10/18/2003	I agree with Gary. If you could find an AGS 0 2.45 G/VS2 for $13,500, it would be a good deal today. That's $13,500 per carat, or over $33K for the stone. Taryton- is yours a 2 and a half carat diamond? Of course Princess Cut Diamonds are less on a per carat basis. Since you say you looked at it, can we assume you saw it in a retail brick and mortar store? If so, the price seems reasonable if you are satisifed the seller is good. David

Allium Rough Rock Total Posts: 36 Last Post: 11/13/2009 Member Since: 5/22/2005	YOW! That price just hit me right between the nose, but I guess that's about right-- more or less. Although that depth doesn't usually heed a particularly brilliant stone, it certainly gets great spread. The girdle is ideal. Allium, G.G., A.J.P.

chunchgirl Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 2/12/2006 Member Since: 9/3/2005	Thanks for your comments everyone. I saw the stone at a local jeweler who came recommended to us. I thought the stone was very pretty with lots of sparkle. I am just such a novice and soooooooo afraid to make a mistake. I feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful site. I am not 100% sure on a princess cut, I love asschers and just haven't found one that I was impressed with. He showed me 2 princess's and one radiant. I didn't love the radiant, here is the spec's on the other princess (which was also pretty but the small one had bit more life to it) 3.o7 carat 70.8% depth 69% table girdle - slightly thick culet - none polish - excellent symmetry - very good clarity - vs2 color - G flour - none Price - $35,000 I really appreciate all your help and comments - I am so bloody confused

tareyton Rough Rock Total Posts: 71 Last Post: 7/6/2006 Member Since: 7/20/2005	I still say the price is WAY TO HIGH look at God Old Golds website. They have a Princess the excat same size same color and clarity for 19K Then they have a 3 carat for 23K. Unless this stone is a branded stone or an AGS000 (which you make no mention of it being either) Then you can do better on the price.

tareyton Rough Rock Total Posts: 71 Last Post: 7/6/2006 Member Since: 7/20/2005	I am not an expert and don't feel comfortable commenting on stone specs. i would leave that up to an expert. I can tell you though that from personal experience GOG has beautifull stones. They will also send the stone to independent appraiser so you can see it in person (if you don't live near NY). They are one of the best stores period and I would not hesitate to call them or ever buy anything from them. They are absolutely no pressure and will answer any question you have.

diamondsbylauren Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,128 Last Post: 1/5/2006 Member Since: 10/18/2003	Hey Chunchgirl- I would say that $35k IS reasonable today- if we're talking about a well cut 3.07carat Diamond with a GIA report calling it G/VS2. It's actually much more reasonable than the $27500 stone based on current market conditions. The fact that they have the diamond in hand is very important. David

sevens one Ideal Rock Total Posts: 9,537 Last Post: 9/8/2009 Member Since: 4/14/2004	I know nothing about princess cuts but researcher once posted this info. She did a lot of research before buying her 3.22 princess. According to the new AGS specs and stated in another thread: For a table size of 55%, you need at least 69.66% depth For a table size of 60%, you need at least 69.50% depth For a table size of 65%, you need at least 69.50% depth For a table size of 70%, you need at least 70.00% depth For a table size of 75%, you need at least 73.33% depth For a table size of 80%, you need at least 72.16% depth ______________________________ "You kept making all the stops?"

I let you know what happens. - I keep flip floping on the which diamond, I'm still not 100 % sure of the princess. I guess I still need to look at everything. I know whatever I pick it will be in a halo that I'm sure about, but I haven't seen many princess' with a halo. Does anyone have any pictures?
