A possible fishe eye?

[newtodiamonds2011]

Hello,

I found this on Union Diamond's website and ran the numbers through PS cut advisor. It rated it at 2.5 with excellent fire but said it is almost a fish eye. Does that mean I should look at the diamond in person to determine. Also does this seem like a good buy?

Well, I would not buy that diamond. It is an I Si1 with an EGL report, and EGL reports are unreliable as to their grading, so it is likely that its stats are being exaggerated to you. In order to find a diamond of comparable size and price that is GIA-graded, using the Pricescope diamond search, I have to go down to stats of K I2. So it is more likely that that particular diamond is a K I2 and is not eyeclean, which is why it is selling at less than half the price of truly-graded I Si1s. If it was truly, by GIA-standards, an I Si1, even with that cut problem you mentioned, they would be selling it for at least $8000. That it is half that price implies that there is something wrong with it that means they would never be able to sell it at that price. That it is not a good cut either makes it so that I wouldn't even risk buying it to see.
