Help interpreting photos from online retailer

[Chiswickian]

I've asked for further info on a small selection of diamonds from an online retailer. I got something back for one of the diamonds, but I'm not quite sure what to make of the photos. I've attached the (redacted) GIA cert and the photos. I'd welcome your thoughts. The asking price is £5200. Many thanks.

I think both the Hearts and Arrows images are not 100% dead-on straight, but the proportions look good in terms of the likely HCA score.


I note that the date on the grading report is 2014 - not necessarily anything suspicious or 'wrong' there, but it could be worth checking whether it's been a trade-in stone.

If it has been, I believe the recommendation is usually to ask if they can submit it for regrading.

Alternatively, you could arrange to send it to a qualified appraiser to make sure there is no damage.

The images are poorly taken so the diamond is not as bad as the images indicate however there is much better out there.
Combined with the old report which should be updated I would move on.

It seems expensive to me. 5200 british pounds is 6500 USD, which is a lot for a .85 stone. You could get a bigger eye clean super ideal branded stone with a $1 upgrade policy for less: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4222786.htm

Or one that's the same face-up size in a higher color for much less: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4175858.htm

So IMHO it's overpriced for what it is.
