Is the right price for this 0.91 crt F VVS1 round diamond?

[ubiquitous]

Hi all,

Please give me some opinion on the price of this diamond. Is this a good deal?

Price: $6800
0.91 carat F VVS1 GIA cert
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Culet: None
Fluo: None
Girdle: Thin to Medium, Faceted
Table: 58%
Depth: 60.3%
Crown: 33.5 angle 14%
Pavillion: 41 angle 43.5%

No ASET or IdealScope images. Only GIA cert image available.
HCA score: 1.1. The X falls on the overlap of GIA excellent and AGS ideal cut. However, this is not AGS 0 based on AGS cut proportion tables (Table score = 1, Crown angle/depth score = 1) http://www.jewellerycatalogue.co.uk/diamonds/ags_detail.php. Is this the reason why it is cheaper than average price for this type of diamond? Despite no ASET or IdealScope images, should I make the purchase? I'm afraid with this good price, it won't be available for long.

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

The AGS proportions you listed I believe is the old AGS guideline.

New Guideline allows for even a table of 60% to be of ideal cut proportion, as indicated by the AGS outline on the HCA. Looks like a good diamond and deal to me.

It has definite potential, if the seller has a good return policy then you could order it to see for yourself, then return it if you didn't like it but it does look promising. New AGS is performance based not proportion.
