I have a question- I have the opportunity to buy a E, 1.49, SI2 (no inclusions to naked eye), 60%/60% table/depth, no florescence, ex/vg for polish and symmetry for $6,200. The dealer said the following:
1- New stone, has not been certified yet. But, willing to take stone to any appraiser we choose to get appraised.
2- He will get it certified if we are interested.
3- The girdle needs polishing? - What does this mean.
My questions are- would you buy a diamond like this, and is it a common practice among trusted dealers to allow you to appraise independently to a appraiser of your choice. Does it show trust worthiness? Can the appraiser pick up on an clarity enhancements? or other flaws in diamond. How closely do appraisers generally match GIA certification results? Lastly, is this a good price for this diamond? Can anyone recommend a good appraiser in NYC?
