Hello everyone,
After two months of researching and spending hours and hours reading posts on this message board I finally purchased a stone. btw, thanks for the always insightful information and advice that is posted on this chatroom. I feel like this knowlegde sharing allowed me make the necessary sacrifices to get a big, beautiful, icy and sparkling stone - on a tight budget.
Here is the information on the stone:
Round, 1.39 c, VS1, H, medium blue - my appraiser initially thought it an E or an F until he tested it for flouresence - and then decided it must be a G!
As far as the VS1 - total bonus - I would have been happy with an eye-clean SI2. But I don''t feel like I paid too much more for it.
GIA polish & symmetry - EX, EX
depth - 61.0%
table - 55.1%
cr - 34.2, 15.4%
pav - 40.5, 42.5%
girdle - 1.3% (0.8-1.7%)
culet - pointed
Plus, I got all this other information:
http://www.niceice.com/certcopies/139hvs1_gia12160441/index.htm
Cost: $7,300.
All I can is, if you are still looking for a stone, please consider www.niceice.com. They have extremely exacting standards with a very low markup - far cheaper than a comparable stone on bluenile.com.
