Hi Everyone!!! First off, this is a great forum and has been very informative to me.
However, I have a specific question about a stone:
- This stone is at a very high end manufacturer that you would know if I mentioned the family name.
- It has been represented to me as an extremely rare cut as it is shallow, bright, and very asscher like THE STONE HAS EARNED a "IDEAL" RANKING with their signature embelem
- It came from a very large stone and was the smaller part section of the natural double pyramid shape raw stone, and hence has interesting dimensions
- I do trust this Jeweler by their reputation and longevity.... but....

Here are the specs (question at the bottom)

Square Emerald Cut
2.60ct
4 Steps on the Pavillion
3 steps on the Crown
8.24mm x 8.23 mm x 4.50
D
SI1
VG/VG/None
61% Table
55% Depth

CAN a 55% asscher like cut be considered good? (Note I am asking is it possible, not is it the ideal cut, or normal cut)

It is a gorgeous stone with nice large cropped corners, has the repeating squares, the windmill pattern, etc.... from the top it looks like a full 3ct stone.

It is priced at ~$10,500/ct which i think is a very good value

Thoughts?

Best,

yea its possible....
being an si1 its a miracle if its eye-clean however.

It is eye clean, with 10x loupe it was easy to spot, but the inclusion is vertical and in line with the diagonal cut below.
Thanks for your help, any thoughts on the price
 
another even shallower...

$10,500/ct is low almost too low.... 12k would be closer to average.
If you have seen it in person and are satisfied with it then buy it.
Post pictures!
 
Yeah i saw it last night under the bright lights and it looked rediculous. I am going back to see it again tomorrow under ambient light from a window around noon. Hopefully it goes well and I buy it. Otherwise I''m back to square one (which means dealing with a few reputable guys above 5th Ave in NYC)
Not too many good 2.5ct asschers around the city.
 
bright lights arent good for checking eyeclean, have them put it in a stone holder and view it in difused lighting or lay it between your fingers.
 
It was completely eye-clean. Great Stone. Did not have a glassy appearance at all. I''ll post pictures when I have it in a few wks (custom setting)!

Thanks again for helping me out
