Can anyone offer advice or a recommended price range for a rock w/ the specs below:

1.02, D, VS1
Cut-cornered rect modified brilliant
5.84x5.39x3.77
Depth: 69.9%; Table 69%
Crown height% 9.5% Crown Angle 31.9
Girdle Thickness 4.4%

The ring performs well under the BrilliantScope (Scintiallating across the board) and seems to be in the class 3A cut category. Thus, i'm mainly concerned w/ paying a fair price and how much a deduction is there if the cert lists an extra facet or two in two of the corners.

Thanks in Advance--

Hi Carlos,

You found this diamond in the web, didn't you? It is listed for $5k, right?

Well, you probably already know how the price for most diamonds in the web is formed. There are a few wholesale diamond trading networks where very many cutters and wholesalers list their inventories and prices are very competitive.

Internet diamond vendors/brokers list these diamonds on their websites at the prices that includes a markup.

Because of low overhead and strong competition markups for the diamonds in the Internet is very low, less than 10%. So if my guess is right, the price is quite low already.

If you are concerned about extra facets you better ask an independent professional appraiser.
