HELP! Newbie Needs Professional Advice on Princess Cut

PONY Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 6/23/2003 Member Since: 6/23/2003	First of all this site ROCKS (no pun intended)!!! I'm a newbie and have been looking around in all kinds of jewelry stores for that "special" diamond. I want to stay away from any internet purchases since I want to see and feel the merchandise. I have been reading tons of posts here (thereofroe lead me to get the GIA info) and need some professional advice and estimated pricing on a possible engagement ring purchase. GIA Certified 1.32 Princess Cut Solitaire (square modified - listed on cert.) With approx. 0.60 baggetts 6.06 X 6.06 X 4.50 No Fluorescence Girdle Med. to Thick Culet - None Polish - Good Symetry - Good VS1 G Depth 74.0 Table 78 The diamond is already set in a platinum setting. Is this a good find and what would be a reasonable price to pay? I am on a tight budget and want to make sure I am getting a good deal. In advance thanks for your time!!! PONY

You should try to stay within 58% and 69%... Numbers aren't that important with princess cuts, but a table within the above mentioned range, a 10% or higher crown and a 65%+ depth are a nice place to start. Since you're looking at GIAs you won't have crown or pavilion info's, so get a Saring or OGI report. Try to get additional reports, as BrillianceScope and IdealScope images. These are really helpful. I understand that you're working on a budget, and that a better cut will cost you more, so I advise you to start looking at VS 2 or SI 1s... These can be great values and (if properly graded) will be eye-clean... More bang for the buck. BTW, I wouldn't stay away from internet purchases... Most vendors have exceptional return policies, so if you do not like the stone you can return it easily. _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi
