Hi OoohShiny - before taxIs that AUD9000 before or after import tax has been taken into account?
I think Aussie tax is 10% import tax?Hi OoohShiny - before tax![]()
Australian tax is 10%, however I mean my budget is $9000 and the 10% will come on topI think Aussie tax is 10% import tax?
Some of our Australian members will be able to confirm if they see this thread
If so, that will mean diamond budget will be AUD8100, or whatever that is in USD!
So your budget is $10,000 before tax and $9,000 after taxAustralian tax is 10%, however I mean my budget is $9000 and the 10% will come on top![]()
OP, do you care about precision cut (ie a super ideal stone from Whiteflash, CBI, BGD, etc) or are you happy with a standard GIA triple excellent that would pass the muster of us Pricescopers?

What are your thoughts on this one?
It has potential, an ASET or Idealscope image would be best if you can get one as although from what I can tell the angles are working reasonably well together, I would want to rule out any light leakage but it is a well cut diamond as far as I can tell. I would also want to check that it's eye clean to your specifications being SI2 and as a cloud is a grade maker, you'd want to check that's not impacting transparency or brilliance, the clouds in the comments don't normally pose a problem but in this clarity grade, I'd check. There's also a cavity mentioned which is a polite word for hole, so you'd need to check that's not going to be a potential durability issue.
So it shows promise pending further evaluation and answers to the questions concerning it.
Thank you so much @Lorelei. I just talked to BN and they said it is not eye clean, so I will take that one off the list![]()
I'd say no to this one Zoli for a couple of reasons, although it might be ok it looks as if this diamond might show light leakage and also in SI2 clarity, the grade is based on clouds which could negatively impact brilliance and transparency.
Thank you so much for taking the time @Lorelei. If people buying in stores knew how much complexity there is to these stones
Can I ask, how can you detect leakage? Just so I dont continue posting stones that aren't worth the time

It would be great with some help, I am obviously stabbing in the dark here
I will use the HCA tool as well. Thank you once again @Lorelei![]()
