Is this Diamond Worth $7000?

[blakemcpherson]

I am looking to buy a diamond with the following Specs:


GIA Graded
Color:E
Cut: Excellent (Tripple EX)
Carat: 1.25
Clarity: SI1

Fluor: Med. Blue
Depth: 60.9%
Pavilion Depth: 43%
Table: 58%
Girdle: Medium
Crown Height: 14.0 %
Crown Angle: 34.0
Pavilion Angle: 40.8

I attached the Hearts and Arrow pictures, ASET, and IDEAL Scope images but am not completely sure on if they are good. When trying to compare them to examples online they seem pretty good or close to ones that are good even though I think I can see some flaws. Overall I am just trying to see if this diamond is a good buy and would appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot.

I'm no expert - in fact I'm a complete novice but I've got a similar sort of budget. If you're looking for hearts and arrows there are only two places I would personally suggest looking at - whiteflash and Brian Gavin. The stone you listed has medium blue fluorescence. If you're looking for flourescence you should look at the Brian Gavin blue range.

The hearts and arrows pic to me doesn't look great when compared to other branded H&A stones at comparable prices.

I couldn't answer whether the stone is worth $7k unfortunately.

It looks like it should be a pretty nice stone. $7k seems kind of low for the size/color. Make sure it is eye-clean since it's an
SI1.

I bought it from BlueNile. They said the gemologist said it was definitely eye clean so I am hoping it turns out nice. I was just unsure about the images since they are not perfect compared to some other ones from the sites you suggested but the color and size did seem like a good deal for its cut characteristics.

Let us know how it looks when you get it!

do bluenile provide aset and idealscope image now?

 

[blakemcpherson]

No I actually was searching for diamond on other sites that provided the images and then I would search for the exact diamond on BlueNile and happened to find this one. I know the hearts and arrows are perfect but I think it still looks like it has decent like return and hopefully it sparkles .
