No one can advise you of how good the price is just from the propotional numbers.

Can you post the actual report on this thread. It is not like labs to leave the fluoresence blank. I suspect that the report is from an individual rather than a major lab. If it is a major lab, then the results are probably reasonably accurate.

You also need a lot more information about the cut.. a complete Sarin Dia Pro report, I''d suggest.

I would also suggest that for a stone costing this amount that you strongly consider getting some indepenpent assiatance. The cost of this help will be minor and provide you with peace of mind so you have complete confidence in your purchasing decision.

what do you think about the price,

what do you think about that it has no cert.

No cert for "D" color suks.

Same goes for SI2 - the step down to I1 makes a serious difference of value and price and without the critical paper you never know.

There's no such thing as "blank fluorescence". If there's allot of it it does hurt the price.

Now, there's no saying what the table and depth numbers do to brilliance. Since there are "ideal" standards for rounds, cut does get factored pretty clearly in cost. Not that it never was - but with cut quality written black on white this becomes obvious.

There are no finish grades mentioned (polish and simetry that is).

All this would not sound too bad if this was some bargain. After all, you can always submit the stone to a lab and get the report. It is not hard to obtain some appraisal or what not. But... this is no bargain. Get outside AGS0 proportions and there are D-SI2s around 14k to choose from, GIA papers & all. Ready to ship.

An EGL lab report with the same stats would bring the cost around 10k - and that's still the word of a reputable lab. It can't be any better not to have any paper at all.

If there is some good reason to prefer this diamond, it could be certified, I guess. With so many diamonds with papers around... it better be a strong reason.

Well, IMO at least.
