Hello everyone,
I have been searching for the past month for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. Its been a frustrating process for me given the budget, available diamonds, and trust with jewelers. I finally decided that I want a cushion on a micropave setting just like the one on the harry winston website. I also found the diamond that I am happy with and what I hope my gf will enjoy.
But there is one problem...when I visited my jeweler to check out the stone he had picked out for me one of the cushion stated a carat size of 2.5 with measurements of 8.9x7.5x5.0 but he tells me right off the bat that the measurement is wrong. He tells me that the GIA has made a mistake and the correct measurement is 8.1x7.5x5.0. Has anyone else heard of/experienced such a mistake from the GIA? Should I be nervous about this particular stone?
Since I am in nyc I along with my nice jeweler took the stone to GIA for reverification and still waiting for results.
