Looking to purchase a Marquise 1.00 H VS1...

[AZAT]

Just looking for some advice...My interest in "collecting" diamonds started a few months ago and I have researched the heck out of the web. This site and other sites have really helped understand as much as I can and I do like "collecting" diamonds within my financial situation. I am considering purchasing my first 1.00 (I have various smaller sizes) and I have a passion for Marquise cuts. Here are the stats on the diamond I am considering:

Marquise
GIA
VS1 - H
1.00
Polsih/Sym - VG/VG
Depth 61.6
Table 57
No Culet nor Fluroescence
Girdle - Sl Thick to Thick (faceted)
10.08 x 5.34 3.29

The price of around the mid $3G seems reasonable to me but I have one concern. When I asked for the GIA cert, one of the ''inclusions'' was listed "Extra Facet". This threw me off a bit, as to the "quality" of this diamond and maybe why the price was reasonable according to my calculations?

Any thoughts on this diamond and the price would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Do you havea picture or an ASET? It is hard.impossible to judge fancies based on the numbers.

Unfortunately I do not have a picture or ASET for it...I am looking to buy it online and I am assuming it coming from a "drop shipper"...

Thanks!

Well I would only but a fancy cut diamond online from a vendor who would call it in and then assess it in person for me. But you do pay for this.

Extra facet isn''t necessarily an issue, I would definitely ask for an ASET image or at least a clear photograph of the diamond.

OK, then I will ask for an ASET on this diamond. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I get. Thanks for all your help and advice!
