Good Stone??/Good Deal from Blue Nile

[Morty333]

Please let me know what you think. Despite, the knocks that Blue Nile takes on this forum I bought from them because I couldn''t find better elsewhere.

I think I got a good stone but if not, let me know b/c I still have 30 days to return. Thanks for everyone''s help

Looks nice to me, but what do I know - I bought from Blue Nile too. Maybe one of the guys will run the numbers for you. Was this one of their signature branded diamonds, or did you luck out and find it among their general stock?

Sounds like a beautiful stone at a great price! HCA score = 0.9 based on the Sarin #'s Well done

 

[derekinla]

Did Bluenile run the sarin #'s for you? Or did you get that done locally? I wasn't aware of BN giving out Sarin's except for their signature line...

It looks like a Signature Ideal possibly....the cut looks good from the HCA numbers. The price is excellent for good clarity and color, I'm really surprised since in the past I have found BN to be overpriced for alot of their stones. Sounds like you found a good one...I would get it independently appraised when it arrives just to confirm all matches and is well and then relax...good eye!

This stone was not with their signature series. I am concerned it is too good to be correct. I did not request the sarin #s they were alrealy on the GIA report.
The BN rep stated that it is a sticker that is added to the GIA report.

Red Flag??? The GIA report is dated December 2000. Why so old? BN told me that the stone has not been in circulation. I am skeptical.

Please let me know you thoughts. Thanks for all the help.
