poshpepper Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,932 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 6/22/2007	I wanted to get some opinions on this stone: REPORT NUMBER: 13630774 Emerald Cut 5.17 x 3.73 x 2.61mm .46carats VS2 clarity H color No Flour Depth 70% Table 71% Girdle STK Culet NONE Polish EXCELLENT Symmetry GOOD I know the "Good" Symmetry grade is probably a put off to some, but I am wondering what people's opinions are.

shminbabe Cut Rock Total Posts: 364 Last Post: 11/8/2007 Member Since: 6/19/2007	We need to see pics of said stone, posh. Table size could be too large (this coming from a girl with a large-tabled EC herself and loves it) and also it could be too deep, resulting in a stone that appears smaller than its size b/c the carat weight could be taken up by its depth. Also, a 'good' symmetry rating might be problematic. I have 'good' polish and was looking for at least a 'very good'. But it's fine. What I've learned in my searching is that it's important to have pictures and to see it with your own two eyes. Can you get some images? Jeannie

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,212 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	PP in this selling situation unless she can provide you with close up good quality photos so you can see the diamond more clearly, then you may have to rely on your own eyes as best you can with the info available. Have you been looking for an EC, or just saw this one and liked it? GIA report? 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

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,303 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	The picture close up enough to be able to make out any details. A close shot showing the details of the steps and a side shot would be very helpful. The 70% depth and table is something I'd be cautious about, in addition to the Good symmetry.

Have you been looking for an EC, or just saw this one and liked it? GIA report? I have always liked EC stones... this one kinda just happened along and it seems like a good deal @ $600 shipped. Also the stone does come with a GIA report (there was a report number at the top with the other info) and the seller has a picture of the GIA report also. __________________________________________________________ "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly" ~ Sam Keen

This is what I was thinking also. I just wanted some confirmation I guess. I will try to ask the seller for better photos.

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	It sounds like a classic style EC. large table fairly deep. The problem is that depth don't tell you a lot, a deeper properly angled pavilion is a million times better than a shallower overly bulging pavilion or worse a deep bulging pavilion. Symmetry grade of GOOD might or might not be an issue, with EX polish it sounds like a facet might be a little off, which facet? some will matter a lot and some not as much. Need some pics. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

poshpepper Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,932 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 6/22/2007	It is an ebay purchase and the seller has 100% feedback. Also there is a return period with a full money back (minus shipping) policy.
