Cut of my diamonds

Laska Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 8/9/2007 Member Since: 8/8/2007	I am a bit frantic. We have recently purchased 3 round brilliant diamonds (they are already set in a setting) at a local jeweler with very good stats - according to GIA report. However, the stones were from 2004 - before GIA would list the cut on the certificate - and I have come to the sad realization that I don't know one of the most important 4C's - THE CUT OF MY STONES (symmetry and polish are 'very good' but that's different from the cut)!!! Can I have someone locally take a look at it to determine the cut or do I need to consult GIA specifically for additional info? Please help. I am in Chicago.

But I guess I'll need to do this to find some peace. ;) I hope an independent appraiser won't have to take it out of the setting... Worse off, I hope the cut is excellent. Oh, the slow ticking of the clock starts now... "I rather feel like expressing myself now. And I could certainly use the release."

Do you like them, do they sparkle a lot? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

Laska Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 8/9/2007 Member Since: 8/8/2007	Well, we did choose the setting and diamonds together but he hasn't let me see the final result yet. My boyfriend wants it to have a little bit of surprise factor, so he locked it in the safe to which I so desperately wish I had a key! Anyway, the diamond looked amazingly beautiful under the craftily dimmed lights of the store, very sparkly I remember - like a Swarowski crystal. It's a 2.01, E, VS2, very good polish and symmetry, nice proportions (except they don't list crown and pavillion angles). I am just so obsessed and nervous about it - I've always wanted my ering to be perfect and will battle hard for it, hehe. I hope I am easy on my bf though. "I rather feel like expressing myself now.

And yes, just try and gently explain that with such a purchase, you want to be sure he got what he paid for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

:) Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,864 Last Post: 6/1/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2006	Would you be able to return the ring if the cut was not to your approval? If it is already set and locked up in a safe and you can't return the ring, sometimes it is better not to open a can of worms... Do you know the GIA report #s?

Laska Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 8/9/2007 Member Since: 8/8/2007	I know what you mean... The depth and table #s are good, so I figure the rest of the stone must be nice. Plus, it's a 30K diamond from a prestigious dealer -- must be nicely cut. I dunno, perhaps cut is not that important. I love my setting and the known characteristics of the diamond from GIA report. I should be happy as it is. Thanks guys. "I rather feel like expressing myself now. And I could certainly use the release."
