Welcome It looks great by the numbers and IS - who certed it? I am curious regarding the lustre  Was it an EGL lab? You can check your price under Prices at the top of the page and search by cut. Also you could drop the colour and clarity in this size diamond and go larger if you wanted - but that is a preference only, it might not be yours.
 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

The diamonds numbers do add up pretty well and the price seems fair. How does the stone look to your eye? Numbers aren't the whole story. |

I think I am ready to buy!!  I am looking at pairing the stone with a matching ICE ring in platinum details here: http://www.diamondexchange.com.au/single-ring-profile.php?id=dx2 What does everyone think?

Hi Belgarath (I enjoyed the David Eddings books btw). Those numbers are within the AGS Ideal range. The attachment to your original post is a computer graphic generated from the IS view in DiamCalc, not an actual Ideal-Scope or Firescope photo. Is it possible you were provided with both?  John |

Date: 6/23/2006 1:36:05 AM Author: Belgarath That is all I have at the moment, I am still waiting on more info and the AGS cert Ok. Do you know if the DiamCalc graphic you posted is an actual 3D scan? If not it will vary from the actual diamond's reflector image, particularly with regard to optical symmetry (H&A) and minor facet configurations. An actual reflector photo (ideal-scope, Firescope, ASET) will show true configurations and light return. John |

These are generated using DiamCalc software, made by OctoNus. I may be wrong, but it seems like these were given as representing the 'actual rock.' If it matters to you, ask your seller if these were created using a 3D scan, or if he just typed the numbers into the software program. An actual scan, imported conventionally, would show the diamond in different colors. I am not trying to deter you. The listed numbers on this diamond are great. It's just important to many of us that artificial images not be represented as actual. John |

Here: I took the numbers I punched in last night for you, rotated it slightly and selected ray-trace. John |
