Hi all, male newb here on the forum/purchasing diamonds.
I came across a gem that at first sounded too good to be true but decided to go for it with the 14 day 100% refund return policy offered and the 50+ stellar reviews of this jeweler located in Tampa. He has virtually no overhead and it can be reflected on his overall prices.
I ended up choosing a 2.02ct Princess cut that I plan to set in a VC/SK halo. Specs as follows:
I color, VVS2
Symmetry- Excellent
Polish- Very Good
Florescence: faint blue
No cutlet
7.07 x 7.05 x 4.93
table 68%
depth 69.9%
Girdle- Medium
GIA certified w/inscription
I understand there is no specific cut criteria in fancy cut diamonds but from the criteria I did search based on the above spec's it seems to fall in line with a quality cut. In conclusion I picked the stone up for $10,500. Despite the heavy research I am definitely a rookie, so did I do good based off spec's alone?
I apologize but my phone is with Apple right now and my old flip phone camera cant do justice so no pics at the moment but below is a youtube link of the stone that my jeweler posted before I purchased. Let me know what you think, thanks all!
