Hello PS members,
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and received lots of bling for Christmas!
Thank you for sharing photos and experience, as I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your educational threads.
I would like to ask for your expert advice on a vintage OEC diamond (non-certed) in a 18kt solitaire setting that I came across whilst browsing at a reputable Estate Jewelry store. I understand true antique diamonds are individually unique and cannot be based solely off numbers on a lab certificate, and was assured that the stone was graded in-house prior to being set. I feel that the price is slightly on the higher side for a non-certed lower colored stone. The following are photos from the store's website - would you say that the color grading is accurate? How does this stone look - should I trust my eyes?
I'm worried the stone may be too deep, although typical of old cuts... Please feel free to chime in your thoughts - Thank you in advance for any insight!
Old European Cut diamond
1.31 ct approximately "O" color, VVS2
6.67 x 6.77 x 4.52mm
Small table 44.7%
Retail price: $4,890.00 before tax
