I bought my EC!! - now what do I ask the appraiser?

[Digable]

Well, at least I think I did.
I had wanted a 2 ct for no particular reason but ater a ton of research I decided to save a bunch of money and get a smaller diamond with the spread of a 2. I *think* I did it.

1.51 Ct
D
VS1
Depth: 63.9
Table: 62
Sym: VG
Pol: VG
Ratio 1.51
8.42*5.57*3.56
Girdle: Thick to VT

I haven''t seen it yet but Martin at USACerted says its beautiful. He''s sending it to my appraiser and then I get to go look at it, if everything checks out ok its a done deal. My only concerns are the girdle thickness but its not hurting the spread much so I''m not super worried about it.

Anyway, opinions pls!!!
Also, what should I be looking for/asking/doing/anything when I go see the appraiser. I''m not even sure I know what a "nice" EC looks like in person. Thanks!

Just trust your eyes, EC's can take on so many different appearances, so you want to choose one which appeals to you. If this one doesn't appeal to you, then don't be afraid to look for others, but hopefully you will like this one.

This article should give you some insight into the appraisal process, and what type of questions you might want to ask.
