Hi guys,
Have been searching for a while and been given a last minute curve ball by the jeweller I’ve been talking to. We have been looking at online diamonds he can get but has also just told me about a diamond in the shop. He is not pressuring me into purchasing the one in the shop but it does seem like the specs sound very good in comparison to what we can get on line. It has the following specs;
1.01crt round brilliant
CLarity: IF
D colour
No fluorescence.
Polish, symmetry and proportions all excellent.
Table diameter 55.5%
Crown height 15%
Pavilion depth 42.5%
Thin to medium girdle thickness
Cutlet size pointed.
Hearts and arrows “ideal cut”
this diamond is IGI certified from Antwerp around 2006 and this is what’s doing my head in, based on reading on the internet it’s not up to the same standard of GIA rating. The specs are excellent and works out to be around $7k.
im thinking even if the rock isn’t quite at the level of what’s in the IGI report it may still be worth the 7k. If it had a gia report then may be down graded a little based on what I read on the Internet.
can anyone give me their thoughts? Much appreciated
