Hello all,
I''ve been reading various threads, and decided to join the discussions as I''m in the preliminary market for a diamond and am starting to educate myself.
I found a stone on Ebay (I personally love ebay) and wanted to see what anyone thought of it, including price...
"round brilliant diamond EGL H VS1 Ideal Cut"
Carat: 1.28
Color: H
Clarity: VS1
The seller was nice enough to do a sarin report for me, to get the angles, (he''s also got a 100% feedback and listed the egl cert on the site)
Crown Angle: 34.8
Pavillion Angle: 40.7
Depth: 62.5%
Table: 56%
Crown Height: 15%
Pav Depth: 43%
Very good polish and symmetry
Scored a 1.2 on the holloway cut advisor
the seller did say that he would personally grade the color an I rather than the EGL grade of H, but clarity was the same.
Price: $5,700
Does anyone have an opinion?
How about the difference in color from an H to an I?
I do realize it''s a starting point, but IN GENERAL, if the Holloway Cut adviser gives a good grade on a stone, is it more or less accurate? or is there the possibility that a jeweler would look at the stone and say that it isn''t a well cut stone?
thanks a lot!
Jill
