I have been researching diamonds for over a month now trying to find as much information as possible. I've gone to a LOT of local stores and seen many beautiful stones. I've also heard all the sales pitches around and been told multiple times that "this is the stone for you" in my quest I have strived to look at primarily GIA rated stones so I could be comparing apples to apples as much as possible.
My question today is concerning a Solasfera princess cut stone at Jared
Size 1.11
VVS1
Color - H
Polish- very good
Symmetry- very good
IGI report. -380410020u
The report is IGI which they assure me is reputable, here is the link to the report
http://www.igi-usa.com/igiweb/onlinereport/View_Cert.cfm?pCert=380410020u
The stone also had a GemEx report where it was ranked at the top end on all aspects, I don't know very much about GemEx and how much stock to put in this information.
The asking price for this stone is $6900 they (Jared) are telling me this is a very good deal and it's not often they have VVS1 come in.
Does this seem reasonable ? Is the IGI plus GemEx report something to trust ? Or should I go back to focusing on GIA rated diamonds.
Also I know the Solasfera diamond is a "designer cut " it does seem to preform very well as far as brilliance and scintilla, is this a gimmick ?
Thanks in advance, I'm driving myself crazy.
