Hi!

I have just started looking around for a diamond. Can someone help? The diamond I saw was 0.61 carats, E VS2 with a HRD report.


5.48-5.51mm x 3.39mm
prop: v good
girdle: med 3%
culet: pointed
table width - 54%
crown height - 15.5%
pavilion depth - 43%
finish: v good.

I am not sure which depth to use for the HCA unfortunately. The jeweller asked for US$2429. Is this reasonable?

Depth is 61.7%...

Proportions look VERY nice on this one!

HRD is a quality lab.

Great stone (great color, clarity & cut), graded by a great lab, offered at a great price.

Looks like green lights all the way to me.

Thanks for all the comments. On paper, the diamond sounds good but I am a bit wary. Apparently the shop where I saw the diamond has a rather bad reputation for selling cheap but low quality diamonds. Is there anything else one should look out for?

HRD is really the best... You should be very safe with this report... Is the stone still sealed in the CertiCard with its microfilm?? This will ensure you that the stone matches with the cert...
