Im a young guy (22) in search of that perfect ring. And i dont know much at all, but i certainly dont want to get taken advantage of. I found one that fits her wishes.. Metal: Gold, White Clarity: SI3 EYE CLEAN Shape: Square, Princess Color: G Carat: 1.17 carats Certification/Grading: UGL Size: 7.25 Condition: New I can post a picture if need be, i was wondering how much that would be worth?? |

just don't be confused between UGL and EGL. UGL is not EGL.

Clarity enhanced. Rectangular. No way you're going to get a nice 1 ct for 1.5K, (more like .5-.7 ct) but if size is what she wants, make the lady happy.

Im glad i came here because i really dont know anything about diamonds. I thought this seemed a little fishy being cheap. Am i safe to assume this is a very low quality of diamond?

I personally prefer to stick with GIA, AGS, or EGLUSA. Others (and probably alot of pricescopers) don't like EGLUSA either because they have a reputation of being softer on grading than GIA or AGS adn they just stick with GIA or AGS. If you're buying from someone trustworthy they'll alwasy match the price to the quality regardless of what the cetifcate says, if you need outside party affirmation i'd say get from one of the more accepted grading labs.

There are some small boutique labs that turn out good work. I know a good appraisal when I see one.

Sorry for all the questions, im very new at this. also you should know-- there is EGLUSA and EGL of other countries (Belgium, Israel, Europe). EGLUSA is the one I would stand by as far as grading accuracy. the others are too soft for my liking Daniel
