I'm considering a diamond at a local store who gave me their "best price" after I showed them some internet prices. Not sure if it's a good deal, and what additional information I need. Here's what I do have: 1.43 carat Depth 62.3 Table 60 VVS2 D thin to slightly thick polish VG symmetry G 7.06-7.13 x 4.4 mm GIA price $11,600 Is that a good price? What other questions should I ask? Should I take it somewhere after to have it appraised? Any tips on where to do that? Thank you very much! |

The cut will probably score worse than 5 on HCA. It would rate medium at best with an ideal-scope. www.ideal-scope.com |

Thanks. What about the cut would rate it so low? And I'm sorry, but I don't know what HCA is. Any opinions on the price? |

HCA - Holloway Cut Adviser, www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp One has to know crown and pavilion angles to evaluate the cut using HCA. GIA report doesn't show crown and pavilion angles. They can be obtained from Sarin or Ogi measurements.
