Diamond Lovers, I Need Your Expertise!

[mintve]

I am in the elementary stages of my diamond education. I''ve read through the tutorials on GOG''s site and have a general idea of what I want...round stone at about 1 carat...give or take...

Now that I am reading and learning, I understnad there are different cuts for round stones and am looking into those as well.

I think everyone on this forum is so knowledgeable and I would love your input on this partcular stone. I think you insight will help me wrap my head around all the vital info of a stone. Here is one I found on GOG:

I see nothing wrong in the quality or proportions in this diamond. I would buy such a quality diamond for myself.
Good Luck.

The first thing I would do is to contact Jonathan@GOG to see why this diamond would not qualify as GIA excellent (See est GIA Cut Grade; It is GOG''s judgment). Some AGS Ideal diamonds get hit because of girdle treatment, which is usually not an issue at all, and some even prefer. If that is the case, fnie. But I cannot see an indication anywher. (Some may).

Another point I would want you to be aware, especially if you want to get something very close to 1.0ct in diameter, is this diamond does not have a big spread due to girdle thickness. You will see the difference between this diamond and an oridinary 1.0ct diamond (6.4-6.5mm) in diameter. Girdle thickness itslef is fine.

Other than the above, I think it is a nice diamond. F/VS1 combio is nice too.
