Save$1,943 from New York wholesale (Rap price)

What is the RAP price. Where is this listed. Is this a true standard?

EGL Report: US 18925001D
Date: 04/08/2002
Weight: .92 Carats
Shape and Cut: ROUND BRILLIANT
Color Grade: H
Clarity Grade: VS1
Measurements: 6.46 - 6.30 X 3.71mm Depth:
58.2%
Table: 65%
Girdle: THIN TO SL. THICK
Culet: NONE
Polish: GOOD
Symmetry: GOOD
Fluorescence: NONE

Is $3,025 a true Wholesale price for this diamond?

If this is EGL rated, how comparable is this to GIA?

EGL Report: US 18925001D It's EGL NY which is good but not excellent compared to GIA, HRD or EGL LA.
Date: 04/08/2002
Weight: .92 Carats
Shape and Cut: ROUND BRILLIANT
Color Grade: H EGL H... Is it an H or an I?
Clarity Grade: VS1 Same here... VS 1 or VS 2?
Measurements: 6.46 - 6.30 X 3.71mm Aaaaaah! Now that's OVERLY off-round! It's almost an oval!!
Depth:
58.2% That's shallow
Table: 65% One word: Huge
Girdle: THIN TO SL. THICK Nice thickness... But what about crown and pavilion? They are listed on the EGL report
Culet: NONE
Polish: GOOD It speaks for itself... Good.
Symmetry: GOOD Same here
Fluorescence: NONE

Is $3,025 a true Wholesale price for this diamond?
I wouldn't buy this one due to the large table, shallow depth and asymmetrical-out of round shape.

If this is EGL rated, how comparable is this to GIA?
Nobody can tell. Sometimes EGL reports are right, sometimes they are wrong. ----------------

THe proportions on this stone aren't good no matter how far back from Rap it is.

The face seemed big to me as well.
What he heck is RAP though? Is this what is appraised on the Cert?

To answer your question :

The stone is worth maybe 50% off Rap.

Trichrome.
