I have been searching for diamonds online for some time now, and just came across a 1.26 H SI2 (GIA cert. #512150104 for $6700. If you don't want to look up the cert, the details are as follow: Polish-VG, Symmetry-EX, no fluor, thin/slightly thick, table-56%, depth-60.9%, crown angle- 33, pavilion angle-40.8.
I also ran it through the AGA/NAJA cut class tool on PS with an overall total grade of 1B (all 1A except crown angle 1B and girdle 1B).
The HCA is <2 (light return, fire and scintillation are excellent, spread is very good). I know that the GIA cut and HCA are not lock step with each other (and it has been shown on here many times that they can sometimes be very out of touch with each other), but on a general first impression is this a decent value for the stone? I know seeing the IS/ASET image would be very helpful, but I do not believe that the online retailer (who is a PS vendor) provides them. I have emailed asking for further clarification, but seeing that it is a stone that is offered at multiple vendors, I am anticipating some time before they are able to call it in.
Your thought and opinions are appreciated! Thanks.
