Hi
I recently purchased a ering with the stone below:
Size: 1.55
Color: F
Clarity: SI2
Cut: Excellent
Table: 54%
Depth: 61.7%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluor: Medium
Girdle: Medium
Culet: None
Measurements: 7.42 x 7.45 x 4.59 mm
Crown: 35 degrees
Pavillion: 40.6 degrees
Price: £5,428
It was bought online and was meant to be eye clean however it had a large feather which could be seen face up, and I had it independently appraised and it came back as I1, borderline I2 so it has gone back.
Now I am looking for a replacement, I came up with this:
Size: 1.61
Color: I
Clarity: SI1
Cut: Excellent
Table: 56%
Depth: 61.5%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluor: Strong
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick
Culet: None
Measurements: 7.50 x 7.55 x 4.63 mm
Crown: 35 degrees
Pavillion: 40.6 degrees
Price: £4,996
Then after looking at a few I color diamonds, I decided that it might be a bit too tinted compared to the F, and I dont want the hassle of sending the stone back again.
So...again searching online I came up with this one, H color, smaller and more expensive, internal flawless:
Size: 1.34
Color: H
Clarity: IF
Cut: Excellent
Table: 58%
Depth: 59.2%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluor: None
Girdle: Thin faceted
Culet: None
Measurements: 7.22 x 7.24 x 4.28 mm
Crown: 33.5 degrees
Pavillion: 40.8 degrees
Price: £6,426
Now I know IF is overkill but it seems like good value for the diameter. I can find similar priced and weight G VS1 but with a smaller diameter and HCA score of 1.9 vs 0.8.
Any advice is appreciated...shall I just get the 1.34 or hold out for something with higher color and lower clarity?
Thanks in advance.
