Rookie question, when I take my stone to get appraised, what type of cut tests can I have performed if the stone is already set? Ideal Scope?
Here is my story below, any comments appreciated (from earlier post).
-------------------------------
I know I have a great cut stone (toot toot!), but I really liked the fact that even though it is GIA certified Excellent, that it also had the geometric *potential* to be an AGSL certified 0. I stumbled upon PS after already purchasing my stone, but I really feel as though I lucked out with my dimensions (I''m taking it to get appraised by Patrick here in LA for quality confirmation).
Here are the full specs:
GIA cert. Excellent cut
Carat: 1.02 6.51 X 6.52 X 3.94 mm
Depth: 60.6%
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 34.5
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Color: G
Clarity: VS2*
Culet: None
Girdle: Thin to Medium, faceted.
HCA Score: 0.7
* After about a week of obsessivly looking, I think I spotted an inclusion that can be seen by looking up through the side/bottom of the stone at a very specefic angle. After researching on PS, I believe this is acceptable for VS2, as I cannot see anything from directly above (eye clean...check). I purposly avoided feathers in my stone for VS2, just a mind thing for me. Thoughts on this....? It doesn''t bother me that I can see the inclusion**, I know my gf will never see it, and plus it gives the stone some character in this depressing world of diamond hunting in which perfection is the goal!
** The visible inclusion from the side is what prompted my soon to be appraisal, I don''t care about the inclusions as long as the value of the stone matches what I payed (i.e. if the appraisal says its actually SI1 instead of VS2, the stone is going back).
Thoughts on this logic???
