More information, it is too good a deal from the data so far, always a red flag. What is the GIA report number?

Ditto Stone. Among dozens on this board with very close general characteristics, except for one outlier at $4K, the rest run from $5K to $7500, so the question about your would at least be why the differential.

Hi vakwam

The price is very cheap but more info is needed please, can you post a link to the grading report so we can see the clarity plot and the rest of the dimensions of the diamond please, in particular the crown and pavilion angles? I would rather have that than the report check link so if you could post or link a copy of the grading report, that would be helpful.

Have you checked if this diamond is eyeclean by asking the vendor?

intrigued cause wow that''s a heck of a good deal... 1.23 E SI2 (GIA)? holycrap.

unfortunately that seems to be the extent of the data available though. GIA # is 16149214.

vakwam, if I were you, I''d definitely see if they could put a hold on it ASAP, and then tell you if it''s eye-clean.

That is really a weird grading report, date 2007 without angles measurement.

report check link for those interested.http://www2.gia.edu/reportcheck/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.showReportVerification&reportno=16149214&weight=1.23

Vakwam can you post the link to the actual grading report please, or scan it in to post?
