Is this worth pulling the trigger on?

I have been looking at this diamond for a little while now and was looking for some advice to if it is worth purchasing.

Shape and Style: Square Modified Brilliant
Measurements: 5.80 x 5.79 x 4.18 mm
Cut Grade: AGS Ideal 0
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Light Performance: Ideal
Color Grade: AGS 1.5 (G)
Clarity Grade: AGS 3 (VS1)
Carat Weight 1.226
Fluorescence: Negligible
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Table: 70.9%
Crown Angle: 48.1
Crown Height: 11.9%
Girdle: , 3.5% to 4.7%
Pavilion Angle: 39.0
Pavilion Depth: 56.7%
Star Length: 0%
Lower Girdle Length: 0%
Total Depth: 72.3%
Culet: Pointed

All the numbers looks great to me but I hear that not all AGS "Ideal Cuts" are treated equally. Here is the picture of the stone. I cannot get an ASET or BrillianceScope apparently Union Diamond does not provide these? The only thing that scares me from the picture is that the center area of the stone looks darker but that may just be from the camera? The price is just above $8,000 is this a deal and worth getting?

I see it listed for north of 7000. Typo? For 7000, price is ok. North of 8000... I'd probably go with a vendor that provides pictures, unless you really want a UD setting.

Thanks for the response. That was the main reason why i was looking on UD I really liked one of their settings. I found this stone listed on WF for around 7,800 wire (about $8,000 non-wire) and on UD for about 7,780 wire, which site has this for 7? Do you think I could find something better for the price? It has been very overwhelming to say the least looking at all these stone lol. Thanks again!

ask for price match

 

[sabre2512]

Wow that is it, yea that is quite a price difference! Thank you so much I will check for a price match for sure. At that price in your opinion should I be comfortable with the stone? Were you able to see the picture I uploaded in the first post, what do you think?

 

[JulieN]

Yeah, at 8000+ I'd get a WF ACA or similar.

It is an AGS 0 which means AGS says it is an ideal cut, and has met certain minimum requirements. The final test is your own eyes.
