have you seen this stone in person?

 

[trock50]

no. too good to be true?

 

[belle]

.....you knew what i was getting at............ yes, it does.

a quick search on the pricescope database for emerald cut diamonds between 2.2 - 2.5 cts, H color, VVS2 clarity, indicates that you would have to pay between $14,000 and $16,500 to purchase a stone like that from one of the online vendors. so--something''s up. who is offering the stone for sale? is it by any chance a private individual?

 

[trock50]

thanks for everyone''s advice. this is a private party and will likely hire an appraiser for inspection.

 

[reena]

okay, i was going to say, if it''s a private party who''s anxious to unload the stone, and if the stone''s specs are what she claims them to be, then there''s a chance you''re looking at a great deal. just use an appraiser, as you said. good luck.

Well, the stone is pretty deep and perhaps the price reflects that. Even so, it''s still too cheap.

 

[belle]

if it appraises to those #''s, you may have found something!! good luck!

let us know.........
