Well... I thought I was an educated buyer, but I find out how little I know each day. I couldn't find an "unwarped" stone myself, so someone was gracious enough to "cut" a stone for me.

Something didn't feel right...fortunately I haven't purchased anything (although I did put down a deposit). Now I find myself waiting for this person to cut a stone with the following criteria for a specific price:

Square Radiant
Carat: 1.80+
Cut: Class 2A
Clarity: VS2
Color: G
Squareness: 1.05:1

See http://www.pricescope.com/tutor_fnc2.asp
for cut details.

I'm willing to continue working with this questionable character, but what would be a fair price be for these criteria?

Thanks in advance for your help, and for all the helpful information on this site!

Hi,

Internet price would be about $9k-$9.5k.

As for "warped" diamonds, check out this thread: www.pricescope.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000268.html

Also beware bonded diamonds...

Yes, I've read that thread. My message was intended to be tounge-in-cheek regarding Warping.

Thanks for the pricing info. As I suspected it's much higher than I've been quoted.

If anybody knows of a diamond that meets these criteria, I'd be very happy to hear about it!!

Oh, good

So you've been quoted less than internet prices. That should be very good deal indeed. Where did you find it?

Doh! I meant your estimate is much lower than Fred's. Sorry...brain wasn't functioning yesterday.
