I've been actively shopping for an ER. So far the Diamond that i'm the most interested/excited about is...
Princess Cut
Weight: 1.5ctw
Clarity: SI1
Color: G
Length: 6.46
Width: 6.29
Depth: 4.62
Table: 75%
Crown Height: 8.4
Polish: VG
Symmetry: VG
after playing with the AGA calculator on PS for awhile and playing with the numbers I realized that if I raised the Crown Height of my stone to 8.5 from 8.4, so a 0.1 difference changes the total score t to 1B. Is the fact that it is so close to a 1B significant? Am I correct that this means the stone has a fantastic cut?
The stone is not GIA certified, it was certified through EGLUS.
I looked at it side by side with other SI1, G and H stones as well as VS1VS2 G, H and I stones that were GIA certified. This stone had a lower price point based on the fact that it was a EGLUS. The Sales Associate said they usually put the EGLUS stones at a lower price point due to it being considered a lesser lab. She also said that she mostly see the soft rating in color. After looking intently at it with 10x it seemed like it's clarity was more comparable to the VS1 VS2 stones, and it seemed is color looked closer to the H stones than G stones. So basically it looked a little better in clarity and slightly less in color.
At $9.2K does this sound like a stone I should be concerned about or a fair price? It seems there are stones on the Internet that are comparable and at a lesser price point, but in jewelry stores in my area this seems to be a good fair deal as most are 11-12K?
I'd appreciate any insight into this particular diamond and situation. As of right now this seems like a fair deal to me, are the any other factors that I should consider? Or other aspects of the diamond I should look at?
