Hi
I have been searching for a enagagement ring for some time and I have trying to get he bang for my buck. A jeweler showed me a 2.53 Carat, EGL certified SI3 clarity and H color diamond in marquie shape. The Dimension (W:L) are almost perfect, only off by 0.007 and there is no bow tie. He is selling it for 8K but there is a small slightly visible bark spot in the center of the diamond. He said that he is going to sent the diamond to New York ,where they will drill the diamond with laser and fill it in so that the spot will not be visible to maked eye. He also said that the correction is good for life.
So the questions are:
1) How does EGL compares to GIA? What SI3/H will be equal to on GIA scale?
2) Is the filling in process good fpr life?
3) How the price looks? Does this sound like a good deal?
Thank you in advance for your assitance.
Sincerely
