My girl fiend wants a GIA RB stone with at least an I color (preferred G/H) and right around 3/4 carat and at least SI1 clarity. My budget it 4K - 4.5K tops including the basic solitaire setting 3-$400. I would truly appreciate help on this. I just want a stone that has good spread without taking away from the beauty of it. I know you can't say how great it is by the numbers, but please just let me know:
* Does any of the proportions raise a red flag?
* Does this sound like a fair price?
I saw the diamond in all types lighting, including a slightly cloudy day with no artificial lighting. The diamond really shines. I would say it is very brilliant while still maintaining great contrast, and only a very slight degree loss in fire vs the true ideal cut diamonds I saw. I just favored it since it looks slightly bigger and about $400 dollars cheaper than the two diamonds that fall within the true American ideal proportions. I placed a $500 dollar deposit to hold it. I'm no diamond expert, but I looked at 8 diamonds and spent 2 hours doing so. All were GIA excellent except two very good, they alo were F-I color and SI1- VS2. (price from2,900- 4,300)
GIA: .75 G VS2 BR
price $3,650 (diamond only- Barmakian's)
measurements 5.97-5.99 X 3.52
Table-60%
Depth- 58.8%
Crown angle- 32.5
Pavilion angle- 41.0
crown height 12.5%
pavilion height 43.5%
HCA- 1.3 TIC
cut grade- ex
symmetry/polish- ex/ex
cutlet- none
thin - med, faceted 3%
florescence- none
clarity characteristics- cloud / feather (nothing under the table)
