Hi all I''m new to the forum and just need some advise on a diamond. I''ve read up on diamond buying and when shopping for a diamond i was set on a GIA cert. But after looking at a few stones i came across a nice gemscan diamond. I know gemscan isnt thought highly off on these forums, but I''m thinking its a good find. It comes with the usual precert , but I''ve requested a detailed report from gemscan to get a better idea if its worth it.
This is what i know so far:
Ct: 1.51
Cut: Ideal
Clarity: SI2
Color: H
Sym: very good
-the stone is eyeclean and pretty brilliant
Asking price is 8K which is good if the specs are accurate and everything else looks good when the detailed report comes in.
The only problem is if I trust Gemscans grading. Some people say avoid them like the plague, but others say you can get a good deal beacuse they are marked down. I''ve read that gemscan grades color less strictly, but how about clarity?
