I color

[dancingmelimel]

Here I go again.....

What do y''all think about I color? .845ct, si1 - all inclusions off to the side. Cut advisor gave it a 1.1. For this size, I require a bargain right now......will most likely upgrade again sometime down the road.

Any thoughts?

Howdy Mel! Welcome aboard!
Sounds very nice! Can you post additional data, as crown, pavilion, girdle, polish, sym, fluor, lab?

I love a properly graded "I" color.

A lot of look for the money, and mounted it looks white.

I just bought an I color AGS000 H&A that scored a 1.9 on the HCA and it looks white to me. It's mounted in platinum and I can't even see a hint of color unless I hold it next to a F-G or above. I think if it has a good cut the tint will be less noticable. Also, it doesn't have any fluorecence.

If it's a great cut it can face up very white. *If* it's a great cut.

Sounds like a nice stone......good job! I color should be fine given the outstanding cut.

An extremely well CUT I color diamond can be a great bargain and face up white even when set in white gold or platinum.

Post info/specs, including crown and pavillion angles, on your diamond for more detailed opinions.

I'm more than happy to post the detailed specs!

Carat 0.845
Color I
Clarity SI1
Measurements (mm) 6.07-6.10 x 3.76
Table % 57
Depth % 60.7
Crown Angle ° 34.1
Crown % 14.5
Pavilion Angle ° 40.9
Pavilion % 43.3
Polish Ideal
Symmetry Ideal
Girdle Faceted 0.7% to 1.5%
Culet Pointed
Fluorescence Negligible

I've tried to attach the clarity pic. This is the other part I'm concerned about. I like that the inclusions are off to the side, but there are alot of them. I don't know much about how to interpret such a pic, so I'd love expert opinions on this as well!

Thanks all,

Melissa

Another important bit of info.....the price: $2765.00

Should I haggle???

For an SI1 with this many feathers clustered in one area just check to see if they are visible without a loupe. There's a chance you may be able to pick them up unaided, but still unlikely as an SI1.

 

[Giangi]

Feathers are white so this is a good thing. BUT, being all so near each other, you could be able to see 'something'; by something I mean the whole group and not a single one, as if the stone was dirty. It's unlikely, though, especially given the fact it's an AGS SI 1 and it weighs 0.845.

BTW, veerrrrrrrry nice cut!

 

[dancingmelimel]

Phooey!

Someone bought it this morning!

The quest will continue.
