i have a round mod. cut brilliant that the igi cert shows as measuring 6.18-6.22 x 4.00 mm. they estimated carat weight at 1.00 ct., but it looks smaller to me. does anyone know if this calcuation works, based on the measurement i listed? Tx.

The best advice I can give you is STAY AWAY from the IGI cert. It is not worth the paper it is written on. Some jewelers just use it to make the stone look better on paper when you are really buying a crap diamond. Go with AGS or GIA- maybe EGL if you must.
Okay so maybe I slightly exaggerated my point... but it is not reliable as compared to GIA or AGSDate: 1/12/2007 10:20:21 AM

The dimensions and the grading lab would lead me to believe this is being sold as a 1-ct. stone.Date: 1/12/2007 10:06:33 AM
