Help will you purchase this Princess diamond???

[egejo]

Hi to all glad this forum exist I'm already like two weeks looking investigating etc to purchase my soon to be fiancee diamond and ring..

Well after everything I have seen a diamond that might be right as I'm looking for a princess cut in a carat around that don't shows naked eye incrustations and in H or higher color for a budget of $4000 or so ....after all I have narrowed my search to this one but I'm not sure it will be right I need some expertise help. Will it look good? will the clouds or the feather at the cert showed be a problem? are the table deep and everything on a good relationship?

Thanks for the feedbacks...

do you have any images? you really need images to evaluate a princess cut.

Unfortunately no I tried to get them everywhere but no one found. I'm purchasing it online and find it in lumera and also in danforth diamond where i'm thinking of purchasing it but both of them have no picture of it.

Yup, we can't advise you to buy a princess cut sight unseen. It would be like buying a car without giving it a test drive. Look for a vendor that can provide ASET images and actual photos of the diamond rather than just a stock photo, or if you can't get that, try to find an AGS-graded ideal cut princess (although there's still some variation within that category...some are better than others). AGS certs come with a price premium, so your best bet may be finding a GIA-graded diamond that has AGS ideal-quality light performance, and that requires ASET evaluations. James Allen is a good place to start looking because they have a ton of GIA stones, photos come up on the search results page so you can weed out the uglies, and they will provide up to 3 ASET images. Here's one that looks nice if it's eye-clean: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1381860.asp

By the way, the vendor cut grade of excellent means nothing...cut grades are worthless unless they come from a reputable lab.

How adventurous are you?

I ran across this looking for old cuts. I like this seller and feel he's very honest. So... if you are willing to take a small risk...Leo princesses are beautiful and cut to exacting standards. It's worth the gamble (there is a return policy)... and you could have it shipped directly to an appraiser. I'd best offer at 3,400 and see what the seller says. That would leave you with a nice budget for a setting.
