When I talked to one of the diamond shop in Toronto, the owner of that shop said it should be in the $4300-$4800 range, depends on the more precise spec of course.... but he also show me some other diamonds, which is something like this: 1.00 carats, G color, SI2, Gemscan cert. But this diamond is WAY more shinny with more reflection because it has a "Mod. Round Brilliant Cut" according to the Gemscan cert, and the guy said it has 89 facets instead of 57/58, that's why it has better reflection.... and this one is around $1400 more something like that, depends which of this kind of "modified" cutting diamonds I picked... and he said this is a brand brand new cutting. I've searched around including this forum... I know there are some other 89 facets cutting method out there but I'm not sure if this is the new one. And I wonder if this is worth it? I don't mind the extra money and get this 1 carat diamond, my only concern is if this kind of cutting, with Gemscan certificate, is good? I"m sure my wife will like this diamond cuz it's REAL shinny, the guy put it beside a diamond with excellent cutting, E color with GIA cert, and this one is definitely reflects more light, shinnier.... and colors looks like the same!!!! Any suggestion/comments are welcome! Thanks in advance! :)

I have 2 friends who owns a beautiful 1.0 carat Tiffany D, VVS1, EX classic solitaire and the other owns a 1.0 carat AGS0 G VVS2 diamond ring but both of the girls like my ring better than their own.... I think it's based on the person's preferences on it comes to choosing a traditional round or mod-brilliant round... Personally, I like the look of mod-brilliant diamond... Good Luck! Just my 2 cents... Got rock?

I'm actually leaning more towards the Gemscan one more, just that I am not familiar with diamond and not sure if this kind of modified one really worth it.... you are so correct, it's like a disco ball!! LOL more comments are welcome :)
