Dear Forum,
As you know i was considering a yellow sapphire but wanted to double check my options on a diamond. I found a great dealer in NY who has shown me some beautiful stones. They seem very close to Blue Nile prices - think I could get something less expensive?
It is a GIA certified 3.11 ct cushion modified brilliant, I Color, VS 2 clarity, Good polish, good symmetry, no flouresecence for $26.4k. The stone is gorgeous, looking throught the loup i could not even see the imperfections noted on the GIA report.
The dealer explained it was less $$ because of the I color and that it was a shallow stone - so it looks even bigger than a normal 3.11 stone because it is not as deep. Its brilliance is still remarkable even given the shallowness and I had trouble finding any fault with the shallowness. table is 68%, measurements are 9.03 x 8.97 x 4.87 mm, Girdle is thin - extremely thick (faceted).
What do the esteemed experts think of the stone for the price?
