Am I getting the hang of this?

[timbo]

Hi all -

I want to see how far I have come based on research on this site and reading posts. I am looking to buy a nice Emerald in the 7-8k range. I just saw this one and thought wow looks pretty good. Even though Depth is alittle high (67.4 vs 60-65 "Ideal") I still think everything else looks good. I am not necessarily buying THIS ring but was curious on your opinions. Reason I ask is these specs look good but I would like to know what would concern you.

thanks!

Girdle Medium to Sl.Thin?? I know AGA uses this term(Sl.Thin)... Who graded this stone?

 

[timbo]

Girdle MED-SL. TH
Cutlet = No
Flouresence = No

GIA Certifeid this one. It is on Whiteflash.com

Aaaaaaaaaaaah! I'm sorry... Sl Th means slightly thick

. The stone could be very nice... I'd ask for a Sarin report...

thanks...appreciate your response..Still doing research...just wanted to make sure I was going down the right path as I viewed hundreds of stones on line and am trying to pick out a nice one for a fair price.
