bobby_t1 Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 1/29/2003 Member Since: 12/17/2002	Just wondering ppl's opinions on this diamond and price. Shape and Cut: Radiant Brilliant Est. Weight: 1.264 ct Width: 5.74 length: 6.23 L/W: 1.08 Crown angle: 45.4 Crown Height: 13.9 % Pavil Angle: 58.7 Pavil Depth: 56.0 % Table Size: 68.0 % Total Depth: 73.1 % (4.20 mm) Symmetry: Good Polish: Good Clarity: SI1 Color: I Flurescence: none Price: $5800 USD I was originally only given the GIA cert, but asked for information on crown and pavilion. Was told by Jeweller that he ran the diamond through "OGI" to get the above information. Thoughts?

As far a s the stone is concerned by the depth of it is little shallow !! You could get a better quality for that kind of money!! and a nicer made stone!! just my 2 cents diamondsman Diamondsman buydiamonddirect.com

Ask the seller if the girdle is mainly medium, sl.thick, thick or very thick. I disagree, the stone isn't shallow (73.1%). One more thing... Do you like the shape? L/W 1.08 isn't square, yet it isn't rectangular. Giangi _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi

bobby_t1 Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 1/29/2003 Member Since: 12/17/2002	The shape was close enough to be square to the naked eye. It is a radiant cut stone, and all the ones I saw were much more rectangular, that's why this one appealed to me so much.

Giangi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,530 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 1/23/2003	So if the shape appeals to you, then this diamond may be the right one !!! Just make sure you ask infos about the girdle. There are better cuts, but there are a lot of stone with 80+ tables!! What about the SI 1? Is the stone eye clean? Have you seen it under a microscope or a loupe? Giangi _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi

bobby_t1 Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 1/29/2003 Member Since: 12/17/2002	It is eye clean and I have seen in under a loupe. I guess i'm wondering whether or not $4800 is a good price for this stone?

Giangi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,530 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 1/23/2003	Hi Bobby, price sounds a bit high... I used pricescope.com search engine and I found several stones at $3000... But you're buying at a B&M, right? Giangi _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,865 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	Looking at the proportions of that stone it is DEFINETELY worth having it checked out. Nice crown height, pavilion depth, total depth & table combos there. In my own personal 10 step approach to squares this passes the first 2 primary tests (which weed out many of the losers). Send it to www.consumersgemlab.com for further analysis. You may (or may not) be pleasantly surprised. There are 3 pavilion angles and at least 2 crown angles that should be checked here too. Good luck with it and hope it checks out for ya. Peace, Rhino Rhino Good Old Gold
