The GIA stone (round brilliant):
G, VS2 (very small inclusion on side, clean table)
1.35 carats
61.3% depth
56% table
35% crown angle
40.5% pavilion angle
7.11 x 7.14 x 4.37
no fluoresence
no cullet
polish excellent
symmetry excellent
I don''t believe it''s been certified through AGS, however, the jeweler suggests this would be an AGS 0 no problem..."perfectly cut stone" (by most people''s standards anyway, i.e. that''s a somewhat relative statement)
$8,329 (no sales tax). Not sure about H&A? HCA ranking was 0.4 (Excellent in all categories except for a Very Good for the last one).
I''ve done a TON of research (more than I would have ever thought), and a lot of it has been through this forum...either through chat strings or contacting individuals directly. THANK YOU everybody! (especially RICHARD SHERWOOD...gave me some very insightful info on another jeweler that I otherwise would have never known about). If you''re in the market for a stone this is a GREAT resource to leverage.
I will reveal the jeweler once I get the stone...he''s been awesome to work with, very honest and up front.
Sooooo.....good deal? Anyway to tell if it''s H&A? (kinda a bragging thing)
