3.87 c - Sarin Report

[mamadi]

I just got the Sarin on the 3.87 c diamond that I''m considering. Here are the details:

From EGL cert (SI2 and G)

From Sarin (I''ve copied everything as they appear on the report):

Round AGS3.88 ct0
Diam 10.21 mm (10.18-10.22)mm.
Depth: 6.20 mm 60.7% 0
Crown: 34.8 deg. 15.2% 0
Pavil: 41.0 deg. 43.2% 0
Table: 5.73mm 56.1% 0
Culet: 0.8% Very Small 0
Girdle: 0.9% 0.7% Thin 0 1.2% Thin 0 0

How does this look, cutwise? I have a written guarantee that if the color is not G and the SI2 is not eyeclean (or any other reason), it can be returned for a full refund.

the numbers look very promising...nice crown angle, table, depth. the 41 pav angle is not my absolute favorite but it''s not bad either.

i would make sure and clarify who has to say the color is not a G ..do you have to show a written appraisal and from who etc. just make sure your return policy is sound. at this point i''d be mostly concerned about an EGL SI2 grade in a 3.8c stone.

According to the Cut Advisor tool (https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp) it''s only worth buying if the price is right. Fire, scintilattion, and spread are ''very good'' while light return is excellent for an HCA score of 2.

Oops, I imput the numbers wrong. It gets a 2 on the HCA, three very goods and an excellent for spread. So it could be nice, you'd have to see it.

agreed. make sure the return policy is sound.

Sounds like it could be a lovely stone, but you really need to see this one with your own eyes. The SI2 on such a large stone may or may not be an issue. Make sure you take it to a good independent appraiser to have everything verified. And double, triple-check on the return policy.

I''ve done everything to protect myself...The invoice is clear since it says "Terms: This diamond may be returned for a full refund within 3 days of receipt". I''ve also foregone the 2% discount and used a credit card to pay for it, having the backing of the CC company in case there is a problem. I have an appointment with an appraiser (recommended through Pricescope) to look at the diamond, immediately after I receive it.

I''m keeping my fingers crossed regarding the true color and clarity!
