gaby Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 10/21/2008 Member Since: 10/20/2008	Hi, I am new to this forum. Thank you in advance for your help! I am in the process of buying a diamond and would like to request your opinion regarding the quality and price of this diamond. 1.41ct Ideal Cut Color: G Clarity: SI2 (I've been told it is "eye clean", but I have not seen the diamond. As far as I can tell the GIA report shows a feather on one side of the diamond and the following notes: Twinning wisps, internal graining and surface graining are not shown.) Symmetry: Excellent Polish: Excellent Girdle: Thin to medium Culet: None Fluorescence: None Depth %: 61.1% Table%: 56% Crown Angle: 34.5% Pavillion Angle: 40.8% The price is $9,092 or $8,956 if paid with bank wire. I look forward to your feeback. Thank you very much! Gaby

Ditto - looks good! 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

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Hi gaby, Everything looks good so far. Is this stone online? And if so, is it possible to get an IS pic? As for price, it seems a little bit high compared to what I found using the search feature here. The closest I could find simiilar in specs was 8100. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Stone-cold11 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,904 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/9/2008	yap, the price is a little high for comparable size, color and clarity. Is this an online store? If it is a Brick and Mortar store, I guess the mark up is about right.

Gaby A well-cut 1.4 carat is relatively rare: after 1 carat diamond trade prices nearly DOUBLE at 1.5 carat so most cutters cut a 1.5 carat diamond rather than a well-cut 1.4 carat. Visually a well-cut 1.4 carat looks similar to a well-cut 1.5 carat but without costing the 1.5 carat premium. When a well-cut 1.4+ carat is produced, there is more demand than supply for such diamonds hence they themselves command a premium trade price compared to well-cut 1-1.2+ carat.

Now things make more sense. Thank you very much for this info. Gaby
