Hi there, and welcome to Pricescope!

First comment is that this was graded by EGL, so the G color may actually be and H and SI1 may actually be SI2. Try to stick to GIA and AGS reports.

Are you sure you got the table and depth right? Normally those are reversed with depth = 61% and table=57%. Surprisingly, it scored pretty well on the cut adviser tool at a 2.3, but only scored "good" in light return, so I''m guessing there will be a lot of leakage to this diamond. It seems rather shallow and not deep at all.

Personally, I would pass on this one. You can do better. If you''d like, tell us what you were thinking about and give us a budget and we''ll see what we can find for you! Good luck with your search and let us know how it goes!

 

[kcoursolle]

I''d pass. In order for a stone to really shine and sparkle you need to focus on getting a well-cut stone and this stone is far from it. I''d start by looking at stones with 60-62% depth, 54-57% table, and an HCA score of under 2 (see this link for more info about HCA: https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp

EGL isn''t necessarily a bad thing, but as mentioned above they can be a little soft. Keep this in mind when thinking about price, because you want to know what you are paying for.

Even if table and depth were reversed, it is a very shallow/shallow stone. And that girdle is a no no (probably because of shallow CA and larger table). You can definitely do better.

If you are shopping online, we''d love to help you find something. If shopping locally, we can give you some guidelines to go by.

I would highly highly suggest that you go to the ''knowledge'' tab at the top of the webpage and read every article that is under that category. Once you do that, you''ll be able to answer your own question.

Well thank you for your helpful feedback, robh505. I HAVE read all of the articles and feel this is not a great deal, but my bf seems to think otherwise. I just wanted to see what other people think because of course, the jeweler we''re dealing is going to be bias and will say this is a very good deal.

Yes, I got the measurements off of the certificate. I was skeptical about the measurements myself, but my jeweler states that this is a good buy for a young couple who is planning on trading it in in the future anyway.

I have to admit the more I''m learning about this, the more confused, frustrated, and stressed out I''m getting. It seems like every diamond my jeweler pulls out doesn''t seem to pass the "stats" test. Is this normal? I think he''s getting a bit frustrated with me too and I''m confusing my boyfriend even more. In all reality do these things beyond the "four c''s" really make a tremendous impact on the quality and look of a diamond or do they just make a great stone better and I should just trust my eyes? Should I be that picky?

Thanks again for your time and help!

I'm sorry, call me cynical (I am!), but to me, this translates to, this is a really crumby diamond that a not so diamond savy, young couple wouldn't mind owning because they don't know any better.

A jeweler should look for what you want, but, have you told him what you want? or do you just tell him what you don't want (when he pulls one out)? If so, that would be a little frustrating.

You mention the 4 c's, one of those, the most important C, is Cut. Without it, yes, it will make a big difference between a so so stone, and a stunning stone. If you want to make this as painless as possible, tell him you only want AGS0 stones. That will simplify things quite a bit, and ensure you get a decent stone.

Big ditto to Ellen.

I''m sorry this diamond isn''t what your looking for, but if you can give us an idea of the size/colour/clarity ranges you''re searching in, and your budget, we would *love* to help you find something amazing!

[denverboy]

the jeweler/seller will ALWAYS say their stones are great simply b/c they want you to buy them. don''t listen to them... just get the DATA from them (diamond/cert info) then YOU have to analyze that and determine if its a good stone and good deal.

Ok, this is more than deja vu. I just replied to somebody else today who said almost the exact same thing! Look for a topic started by Jibby, I think it was and you''ll see the advice I gave there.

Basically, yes, it is normal for a jeweler to just bring out whatever they have and try to sell it. You have to ask for something specific for them to show you the best stuff. They don''t like educated consumers because it makes it harder for them sell poor diamonds as great diamonds. And yes, all of these things do have a significant impact on the diamond. You should trust your eyes, but in order to know what you''re looking at, you need to look at a lot of diamonds. I would ask to see some AGS000 diamonds and compare them to the one he''s showing you now. Then you''ll see what the difference really is.

In the end, all that matters is that you are happy with your diamond. It doesn''t matter what we say or don''t say. You can trust your own eyes, but make sure that you''ve trained your eyes to know what to look for. Also, remember that jewelry store lighting is set up to make EVERY diamond look good, so be sure to look at any potential diamonds in a back office or under your hand in the shadows and as many other lighting environments as you can find.

And yes, I believe you should be that picky! This is a huge purchase and you want it to be exactly what you want, not what they happened to have there. I personally wouldn''t settle and in fact I did end up returning the first diamond I bought because it didn''t meet my specifications once I brought it home. That''s my take on it. In the end, its up to you. If you would like more input with any diamonds you find, feel free to bring them here and we''ll take a look for you. Good luck with the rest of your search!

Thank you, I thought the same thing, thought I was going mad. I knew I had read a post somewhere that sounded exactly like this! (and it is exactly)

And ditto the rest of dockman's post. As well.

Here''s the quote from Jibby:

"I must admit though, I think the more I''m learning about this, the more confused/frustrated I''m getting? It seems like every diamond my jeweler pulls out doesn''t seem to pass the "stats'' test. Is this normal? I thnk he''s getting a bit frustrated with me too. In all reality do these things beyond the "four c''s" really make a tremendous impact on the quality and look of a diamond or do they just make a great stone better and I should just trust my eyes?"

So when I read this, I just went, "huh? Didn''t I already reply to this one?"

Its amazing sometimes how these topics run together...

Wow, that is funny, I feel so violated by this plagiarism! I think it was even verbatim! Haha!

Anyway, I do feel your pain onerarerose and I am in the same boat. I like the fact that I am learning so much about diamonds with the fine folks on here, but at the same time it''s a stressful process. I think if this shopping wasn''t for such an important things as my engagement, I would actually enjoy shopping for diamonds as I''m very analytical and kind of a stat geek, but given the occasion it is very stressful. I am sure you will find one that perfectly fits your needs in time.

I'll tell ya what! Neither your jeweler or your boyfriend will be wearing this diamond, so it's your opinion that should hold the most weight. I shopped for my diamond alone and when I narrowed it down to some great choices, THEN I had my guy come and make the final decision with me. It is very grueling to shop for diamonds if your not into it, like your BF may not be. I would definitely, go around to a bunch of different higher end stores and look and compare what they have that meet your criteria, so that you can see some really great stones. Then once you know what a great looking stone to you is, you can look at stones anywhere and know what to look for. I found the lower end stores didn't have any in-house great diamonds and kept showing me mediocre stones. Maybe you could start by saying I don't want to look at anything with less than a Very Good cut, polish and symmetry. And know your table and depth preferences, along with a color choice and maybe an SI2 minumum clarity and whatever max. clarity (VS2?) Look at stones with 54% tables and some with 60% tables so that you can see how much difference a smaller table can make. I find it hard to tell with subtle table size differences like 55% compared with 57%, that's why I said 60%, but that's just me. And don't forget that your salesperson is probably going to get frustrated if you don't like what he has. He is there to make a living, and when you don't buy right away, the sale takes longer, and like most people, they would like to make the most money, by spending the least time. But I'm sure they don't mind helping you, it's just that some people find it harder to keep their frustration hidden better. Dealing with slow, uncertain shoppers is probably the not so fun part of the job, but it IS part of the job and they expect it to happen sometimes. So, just don't be bothered by any frustrated looks, and keep looking until you find what you want. I had a great saleslady, I must have driven her crazy by changing my mind at least 4 times, but each and every time, she smiled and said she was delighted to keep searching with me. (Maybe you should find a less frustrated jeweler, how dare he make your happiest time awkward for you.) Good luck! I hope this helps. I am just the average Joe or Joanne, so I hope my less than professional point of view might help. Oh yeah, and keep looking, that 1.21 stone is probably not the best you can do!

[onerarerose]

Thanks everyone for the input and advice. It is very much appreciated! I feel less stressed and frustrated.

So, I talked to another one of the employees at the jewelry store we''ve been visiting.
I specifically told him that I wanted to see diamonds with at least 1.00 CT, G/VS2, VG/EX polish/symmetry, Ideal/VG cut and told him I did not want to see any more EGL certified diamond. Hopefully that is specific enough that they''ll be a little more helpful when showing us diamonds.

Here''s another one he showed us:

WEIGHT - 1.04 Cts

Shape and Cut: Round Brilliant
Measurements 6.55 - 6.48 x 4.05 mm

PROPORTIONS:
Total Depth - 62.2%
Table Width - 55%
Crown Height - 14%
Pavilion Depth - 44%
Girdle Thickness - Medium, Faceted

FINISH:
Polish - Very Good
Symmetry - Good to Very Good
Cutlet - None

CLARITY GRADE - VS1

Graining - Nil

COLOR GRADE - G

Fluorescence - None

Comments ''DiaScript'' on girdle

Diamond Certificate Report issued by EGL
(certificate does not say "EGL-USA" like the copy of the other cert does)

A better stone than the first one I posted, but not as GREAT as I would LOVE it to be.

I am just the average Joe or Joanne, so I hope my less than professional point of view might help. Oh yeah, and keep looking, that 1.21 stone is probably not the best you can do!

Seriously!!! I didn''t like how I felt when I left the store last night.

I''m going to keep looking until I find a stone I LOVE. Thanks so much!
