Is this diamond a good value?

[Karl]

I'm new and am looking at a diamond that is graded by EGL and is VS1 I and has dimensions
of 5.14X5.12X4.18 mm with 81.6 depth 72 width 12 crown heigth 65% It is a Princess cut
I don't know anything else at this time other than the price is $3200
I would like some opinions, as best you can with the info, if this is a reasonable buy.
Thank You

I forgot to say this is a 1.00 Carat Princess cut

I''m no expert on princess cuts, but there''s no way I would buy an EGL graded I in this shape. It could easily be a J or a K, and also the depth on this diamond is way too deep at 81.6%. What is the carat weight of this stone? I think you could do much better.

As someone said in another thread about a different stone, but is still applicable here........run for the hills.

Width? Is that supposed to be table? Bueller? Also, 80+ is a deep princess--too deep I think.

I don't actually know what the carat on it is but it doesn't look like a good deal. It's a small diamond and you could get a _much_ better diamond for 3200, I think. I would not get this stone, based on the numbers you've showed us.

And take to heart the EGL thing--they are often liberal on color and sometimes on clarity and it's already a colory stone. You might come out with a very noticably yellow stone.

Edit: Reading comprehension. 1 carat stone? Do NOT buy this stone. It faces up *tiny* because it is so deep.
