I will discuss the cut. We know that Excellent is better then very good is better than good. Fair is very very bad. Sounds like a 25% out of 100. Do you have time to buy aan ideal-scope? www.ideal-scope.com |

Was that 6000 Canadian or 6000 US? Also there is a great difference in price in SI2 and I1 certified diamonds. I and most people will need more info to really give our opinion of value. Also do they have the depth and table of the center Diamond Al Wallace Jewelryzone.com |

Princess, who appraised it? Was it the same people who sold it? |

It was a third party appraiser that deals with the jeweller, i guess. The ring was custom made. Do you think he got ripped off? I told him to get it appraised elsewhere as well just to doublecheck. |
