Personally I would keep looking, this diamond has a steep pavilion angle and does not score well on the HCA, also it could look small for it's weight, and not as large face up as 1.71 cts should be, so my advice is to pass. Also with EGL, it is important to know which EGL lab graded the diamond, EGL USA are said to be the most accurate. I would advise sticking with GIA and AGS graded diamonds.

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

Splinter Cut Rock Total Posts: 238 Last Post: 7/2/2008 Member Since: 3/13/2008	I agree with Lorelei, there are better stones out there. I'd also stick to AGS or GIA certs. Have you considered buying online? I'd imagine you'd get more diamond for your money... If you're not happy buying online, just keep posting about the stones you look at and the Pricescopers will give you honest, unbiased opinions. Oh, also, it's always useful to post the angles of the stone if you have them.
