Hi, I looking to buy a 1.50 carat diamond, and I have a few questions.
Originally I was hoping to get a G color and a VG cut, VS2. The jeweller I went to suggested to go with an excellent cut and to
go with an Si1 stone that would be closer to VS2. I do not want to see inclusions when I look at the diamond. I also asked to
see some VG cut diamonds
I used the HCA to check the best proportions and this was the best one and it scored a 0.8
Here are the rest of the specs.
Size, color, grade and cut: 1.50 carat, G, SI1, Very Good
Shape: Round brilliant
Measurements: 7.34 X 7.38 X 4.53
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very good
Fluor: None
Culet: None
Table: 55%
Depth 61.5%
Girdle: Thin to Medium
Crown angle: 36%
Pavillion angle: 40.4%
The GIA report is from 2006. Does that need to be updated? Is there a possibility because of the date, that this stone
was purchased before and is being resold to me? The price I have been quoted is $15,000 plus tax.
Second, on the report is states twining wisps are not shown, surface graining is not shown.
There is also a feather and an indented natural. I am not sure how to evaluate these.
The only VS2 diamond I was shown was priced at $19,000. Not sure if I will like an S11 though I was told that
is what most clients by. Also when I go and see a diamond and it is held up by tweezers, it is hard to see it the
same way that I would if it were in the setting.
Any advice?
