hello, all! I''m new to the forum, but I''ve been lurking for a couple of months now. I was hoping someone could give me their opinions regarding my future purchase.
We already have a frame and are looking for a diamond now. I think we''ll buy from abazias since they are PS approved, have competitive prices and from my search here, people seem to be satisfied with their customer service. What I want is a 1 carat round diamond with a good cut, any color up to I and a nice clarity under (as little inclusions as possible) $4,000. I''ve spoken to an abazias rep, and he will be looking for something to fit my criteria. In the meantime, I have found a diamond that seems good on paper, but I''m not too sure about a couple of things. I will surely take it to an independent appraiser once I buy it, but I don''t want to waste time and money buying a sending stuff back.
Specs:
Weight: 1.04
Cut: round
measurements: 6.52-6.52-3.99 mm
Depth: 61.2%
Table width: 56%
Crown height: 15%
Pavilion depth: 43%
Girdle: Thin, faceted
Cutlet: None
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: very Good
Clarity VS2
Color: I
Florescence: Very slight
Comments: 8 Hearts & 8 Arrows: this diamond was polished utilizing superior precision and craftsmanship, its exquisite proportions generate the appearance of 8 hearts and 8 arrows, when viewed at the correct angle and under the proper lighting conditions.
PS cut adviser gave it a 0.9
Cost: $3,500
"Fingerprint" looks clean other than 2 feathers in the girdle.
My questions about this are:
1) I was under the impression that the thinner the girdle is, the better, But now I have read on that, and opinions differ. Does this stone have a good enough girdle size?
2) I don''t know how I feel about fluorescence as I''ve never seen it IRL. In this diamond I''m guessing it wouldn''t be that vivid, but what would it look like?
I apologize for naive stream of questions. This is my first time shopping for diamonds, let alone my engagement ring. i want it to be prefect.
Thanks in advance!
