Hi everyone, I've been working with a reputable ring maker on creating an engagement ring for my beautiful girlfriend. He's come upon the following diamond (it has a GIA certificate): Pear Modified Brilliant 10.25 x 6.55 x 4.48 mm 2.13 ct. Natural Fancy Yellow Even Distribution It doesn't list the clarity (although he says it looks to be VS1). The price is $11,500. As I'm pretty uneducated on this subject, any advice or thoughts about the specs and/or price would be greatly appreciated. Is there anything else I should be asking about? Thanks very much in advance for all your help! |

Why wouldn't the GIA cert have a clarity grade. A FY pear sounds fantastic.  I am not a pro, but $11,500 for a 2+ ct sounds very very cheap. Have you seen the GIA report? Are you sure it is Natural?

I know nowt about fancy coloured diamonds, but I agree with YS, this sounds very cheap...Ditto are you sure this diamond hasn't been treated?
 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 |

Date: 5/10/2007 6:45:45 AM A) Most fancy colored Diamond manufacturers would ask for a full GIA report on a VS+ clarity Fancy colored Diamond.Author:wrinkle Hi everyone, I've been working with a reputable ring maker on creating an engagement ring for my beautiful girlfriend. He's come upon the following diamond (it has a GIA certificate): Pear Modified Brilliant 10.25 x 6.55 x 4.48 mm 2.13 ct.

Thanks very much in advance for all your help! B) Fancy Colors are ONLY judged by the eyes and mostly faced up!!! (imposible to give advice stone unseen!!!) C) Ask for an image (face-up) and what type of Fluo. (if any) the Diamond possesses! ********************** |

The specs from the report indicate that it's a natural stone, with natural color. It does seem on the inexpensive side for a 2 carat fancy yellow. Maybe it's just a great deal, or maybe it has a negative. The modifying hue of the base color often has a great deal to do with the price. Ask if it has a modifying hue, and what it is (orange? green? brown?). Sounds like it's definitely worth taking a look at. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser |
