Is it a round brilliant?

Cause if it is that baby is DEEP!

Hey Mount Pleasant Boy (you're not by chance from Toronto, are you?)

Have you made a slight typo in entering the depth? Might want to double-check that.

Hi There,
Its overpriced. The depth is terrible at 66. You might as well buy a 1.15/1.25 ct stone cause that 1.5 is going to look the same size.

You mentioned you were checking out the website so go do a search or check the tutorial before you commit. Try to keep the depth to about 62 if you can. The rest of the #'s on the stone are nice.
I have a 1.55 SI-1, G.

Canadiangrrl, I thought he might be from Toronto too. hahaha Then I wondered, well, there might be other places in the world called "Mount Pleasant".

Yes, I'm afraid I did - the depth should be 61.1 %. The pavillion depth is 43.2 %.
The stone is a round brilliant. No fluorescence. H&A.

No, I'm not from Toronto. Different country altogether!

Thanks for your opinions!

 

[ccuheartnurse]

THATS different now! The stone seems like it would be a winner.

The cost seems a bit high. Did you find it at at B&M? My SI-1, G, 1.55 was $2000 less than the one you're looking at. I know its one colour grade lower, but $2000! Remember, you still need a ring to put it in.

What country are you in? England?

Yes, I'm in England, but I was born and brought up in Zimbabwe. Mount Pleasant is a neighborhood in Harare.

So, Judy, where did you get your stone?

 

[canadiangrrl]

Judy Judy Judy, we have the only Mount Pleasant that truly matters. And sadly, Mount Pleasant Boy, typos are not permitted on this forum. I am afraid you will have to resing your mebership.

The stone seems a tad overpriced, if you're quoting in USD, but the proportions are nice, and F/SI1 is a lovely combination.

The stone sounds lovely and the price sounds decent as well. For a 1.5c stone, you may be overpaying a bit. There are comparable ones online for around $11k.




But, I say if the numbers check out (they look good), and your eye loves it, get it!

Yes it may be a little more, but at that price range, if you find a great stone, you may not want to quibble, esp for an offline B&M (which means markup) purchase.

 

[mount pleasant boy]

Thanks for all the feedback. I probably will get this stone, but I'd welcome any other opinions.

Sorry about the tyops!!

Canadiangrrl, he should leave shouldnt he?! haha Mount Pleasant is the new Rosedale.

I got my stone through Jan/Brad at Diamond Brokers of Florida (diamondbrokersoffl.com) They may not have a stone right in house, but they'll find you one no doubt about that.

Happy Diamond Hunting.
