Have educated myself over several months on your great forum. Getting engaged and my local town jeweler who I have been dealing with for years turns up a stone for me. I want the biggest round stone I can get for my money with gross quality being secondary but I don''t want a total piece of dull junk.The stone has papers from Accredited Gem Appraisers of Philadelphia, 723 Sansom.
Unset round diamond, 2.02 Ct wt.
8.22 x 8.28 x4.87mm
modern cut, very small culet
31.2 degree avg crown angle, 10.7% crown height
59% depth, 64.9% table, 44.7% pavilion depth
AGA cut class: 3A
UV fluor: inert
approx. GIA color: "I"
Aprrox. GIA clarity: SI2
Value $14,500
I know the Holloway Cut is 5.4 and not very good with the fire and scint. being poor and the table is rather large with the resulting loss of scint. However, the inclusions are on the edges of the stone and are not visible without a 10X. The color of the stone looks good to me versus G''s I have seen. The price quoted firm is $7000. Two questions, knowing that I am looking for size versus quality but not total junk is this stone competitively priced or am I overpaying? 2. Is this stone by dimension and cut something I should consider taking into account what I noted above? Thank you for all your potential input. Larry
