You could ask the seller if they could run a Sarin report on this diamond, which would give detailed measurements of the stone. I am not well up on prices for rings etc as I am out of the USA, to see how brick and mortar prices are set etc, you can compare prices for E VS2 of that size above using the search tool, I found one with a top notch cut for over $8k at a quick glance, just for the diamond. Here is a tutorial on the grading labs, which will give you an idea of how the labs rank. http://diamonds.pricescope.com/grading.asp Just to let you know also, unless it is your preference, you could drop the colour to F G or even H and still have a very white diamond. Have you considered buying online, or would you rather stick with a jewellery store? 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
