I''m a little worried

[nelmr]

I just bought the princess posted earlier in this forum.
The GIA number is 12696119 for about 1900

I found the same exact diamond WITH THE SAME GIA NUMBER here on pricescope.
just punch in
princess .58 d vvs2 69.8 69 GIA and you'll find three matches. the first one from USA Cert. Diamonds is about 1660 with discount or 1752.46 w/o. I don't care if I spent a 200-300 more. I was able to see it first hand and have it the day I bought it.

I throughly checked the diamond it's not cz. it is vvs2. I checked the weight and the laser inscription.

Is this just one of those one in a million odds that I found my diamond on the net? I bought it from a small scale wholesaler in cincinnati. He needs to get the cert mailed in and will be in tomorrow. I saw a copy of the faxed cert. Again it matched the laser inscription.

The wholesaler said he gets his diamonds from a large supplier by request only. Could this really be the same diamond or is the some major major problem here.

Thoughts?

Probably the same stone.

If someone sells to the public, they are not a wholesaler. He just had the stone in on memo. It's not a cz. But it doesn't matter b/c like you said, you were in a time crunch and the guy had it on hand. I am eyeballing one online right now...it's shown on about 5 diff sights...but when I'm ready, I'm going through GOG b/c of the upgrade policy.

It's probably the same stone and your 'wholesaler' got it virtually.




There is a huge virtual DB of stones that many jewelers have the opportunity to pull from. They can call in a stone from the true wholesaler at any time...to show a customer. If you bought that stone, chances are it has not been yet pulled from the virtual DB which is NOT just an online thing but offline as well (the db). So no worries, it's probably your stone and the update has not happened yet to remove it.




As the others noted, wholesalers don't sell to the public, a real wholesaler would be the one holding the stones for the virtual jewelers who sell to the customers.

It is common for half a dozen places to be listing the same stone, as they all have access to the same sources. The lists are more availability lists as opposed to lists of actual stock-in-hand.
Try back in a day or two, and you will see that all the references to it will start to drop off as sellers update their lists.
