kingston Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 6/2/2003 Member Since: 6/1/2003	I received the diamond I purchased over the Net 3-days ago. I have 7-days to change my mind and return the diamond for a full refund. My question is have I got a good value for the money? I didn't know the inclusions were black by looking at the grading report! My description of the diamond: Looking down at the crown (top) of the diamond with the naked eye, there are no visible flaws. However, looking down the pavilion (bottom) of the diamond, the black spots are visible to the unassisted eye against a light background. The diamond is very pretty. Concern: CARBON (BLACK) INCLUSIONS effect on diamond value. Price paid: $2400 Diamond: As described on the AGS Diamond Quality Documents: Round Brilliant 6.00 – 6.05 x 3.70 mm CUT: Ideal 0 Polish: Ideal Symmetry: Ideal Proportions: Ideal Color: 1.0 (F) Clarity: 6 (SI2) Carat: 0.808 cts. Girdle: 1.0% to 1.5% Culet: Pointed Table: 55% Crown Height/Angle: 15.3% / 34.4 Pavilion Height/Angle: 43.1% / 40.9 Fluorescence: Negligible AGS Document Number is inscribed on the girdle of the diamond. "Pinpoints are not shown" WAS NOT SOLD AS A HEARTS AND ARROWS, however the inscription indicates it is one, and looks to display a very, very good pattern to me. The hearts look speckled due to the black spots and the arrows side look almost clean.

I noticed that source of the stone, as told to me by the seller, is a very active member of the Pricescope forum. I am sure you'll recognise your stone.

Find an expert on the site, and have it sent to them, if you want more than a reckless guess. There are quite a few qualified appraisers here who do participate on the forum. Rockdoc Bill Leiberum 1948-2007 Thanks for everything and Rest In Peace,Bill.

pqcollectibles Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,441 Last Post: 6/18/2005 Member Since: 2/23/2003	Hi Kingston! Ditto's to Rock Doc. Find yourself a professional appraiser ASAP. You might have one locally. Try checking the yellow pages under Appraiser. Don't go to a jeweler. Get a totally free standing, independent Appraiser that does not sell jewelry. Then you avoid a conflict of interest. If you don't have a local appraiser, click on the link above and chose one of the PS appraisers. Contact the vendor to let them know what you are doing, then contact the appraiser to let them know the diamond is coming. The vendor and/or appraiser will give you appropriate shipping instructions. Good luck and let us know how it all turns out. Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! ____________________________________________________________ Just a regular person trying to be helpful. Consult a Pro prior to purchase!
