HI all. I've been doing quite a bit of research on this site, and appreciate all of the great assistance by forum users. I now am asking for a bit of specific help.
I have been engagement ring shopping with my boyfriend and we have found the perfect setting. It's been a bit more difficult to find the perfect stone. We're working with a jeweler in LA's jewelry district that we feel very comfortable with. Today I found a stone that I really like. I am, however, a little unsure about the price that we worked out. We haven't purchased because I want to be 100% comfortable. I thought I would post all the information and ask for opinions.
Here are the specs for the diamond:
GIA Report
1.06 carat
H
SI2
Excellent cut, Excellent polish, Excellent symmetry
Depth: 61.7%
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 34'
Crown Height: 14.5%
Pavilion Angle: 41.2'
Pavilion Depth: 43.5%
Girdle: Medium, Faceted
While I would prefer SI1, the crystal inclusions in the center are not visible to the naked eye. The clouds on the edge of the stone can be easily covered by a prong. I could not see a discernible difference in color for this stone side by side with a GIA G color.
What do you all think? What you pay for this stone?
BTW, here is the GIA report. https://myapps.gia.edu/ReportCheckPortal/getReportData.do?&reportno=6137340477&weight=1.06
