Need help on diamond specification

[kim mutikainen]

Hi,

I am about to buy a ring where I can choose the center diamond. I have been given 3 GIA reports so far, waiting for a couple more. I am all new to this and would very much appreciate your help. I will buy this in Norway so there is no option to start looking overseas for other alternatives. Here are the reports:

https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=2236306850

https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=6221954337

There are no other reports or pictures available at the moment. I have run the numbers through the different tools that dont need downloading from this site, but I am still not sure.

Thanks in advance!

I prefer the first one, but you need to see the diamond or at least the IdealScope picture.

I'd only consider the 1st one out of those 3.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I also had my eye on the first one in regards of its dimensions and reports. For AGA/NAJA cut class tool it showed:

• Tab Percent: 1B
• Crown Angle: 1B
• Crown Height: 1B
• Pavilion Depth: 1A
• Girdle: 1A
• Depth: 1A
• Polish: 1A
• Symmetry: 1A
• TotalGrade: 1B

I am not sure if I will get idealscope images, it looks for some reason hard to get, maybe it is not as common amongs the vendors in Norway? Is it expensive or hard for the vendor to take and provide such images, or is it a 15 minute job?

Small update: They dont have images of any kind of diamonds below 0.70 carat as all below are picked based on the GIA certificate together with looking best for the naked eye.

Without images, I can only recommend that you try to find stones in this range:

Depth no more than 62.2
Table 54-58
Crown 34-35
Pavilion angle 40.6 - 40.9

Is buying from James Allen out of the question? Here are a few nice stones that have potential. By the way, I wouldn't be worried about going down to a G color; it will be white and you'll save money.

You may also receive a discount by mentioning this forum.

Hi,
Yes unfortunately thats not an option now. I am also not so sure how much cheaper it would be as I would have to pay import taxes and customs.
