What are you're thoughts on the specs?

No certificate only an appraisal, I would pay to have it independently certified I think. Seems cheap for what it is, I'm waiting to hear re just what and where its inclusions are.

I'm a princess diamond girl at heart but do love the radiant. What peoples opinions on radiants?

An "SI3" with a low resolution pic? I would want a much, much clearer photo.

How did they come up with an SI3 clarity grading?

This is just my opinion, but any seller that calls a diamond an SI3 (since there is no such thing), is trying to make their stone sound better than it is and is untrustworthy by definition.

An $8600 diamond being sold by a dealer, that weighs 3carats is going to be ka-ka ( technical term) Actually doo doo might be a better term.
Many people who want a bargain will assume the seller does not know what he has, or that if submitted to GIA the stone would double in value.


What is the highest likelihood is that the stone is worth what they are selling it for- or less.
