Need Help with Princess

[Rdifo]

I have found two stones that seem to have good basic numbers. I know I have to get some more info on them but do they look like a good starting point?

GIA
Princess
2.00ct
SI1
G
6.93 x 6.76 x 4.92
Depth 72.8
Table 67
Girdle VERY THIN
Culet NON
Polish EX
Symmetry G
Fluorescence NON


GIA
Princess
2.14ct
VS2
H
7.32 x 7.02 x 5.12
Depth 72.9
Table 70
Girdle M
Culet NON
Polish VG
Symmetry G
Fluorescence NON


Both are very close in price. Thanks for the help.

I would stay away from the first stone as the girdle will be VERY prone to chipping. The second stone looks good so far, but you''ll want to get the crown and pavilion info, as well as an ideal scope image. You''re definitely on the right track!

i second researcher...i like the second one due to the girdle on the first stone. if you can get those extra things that researcher mentioned you will get a better handle on the performance of your diamonds.

I spoke to a lady from diamond.com where these stones are from and she said that they do not have the crown or pavilion #''s b/c it is not on the GIA report. She also said that if the %''s were bad it would be noted on the report. Any suggestions on what to do next?

See if they can do a sarin on the second stone. Or if the stone can be sent to an appraiser that has access to a sarin machine.

I would disregard the first because of the very thin girdle especially since it is a princess. Even with insurance, I surely wouldn''t want to take such high chances with breakage.

OK, I was able to get the crown angle for the 2.14ct stone above...it is 10.9. how does that affect the overall stone? thanks

 

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

ask for a ideal-scope photo and or a Sarin 3D scan (NOT A REPPORT) and email it to me garryH at ideal-scope.com

 

[DiamondExpert]

10.9 looks more like a number for the crown height % rather than crown angle.

The responses you''re getting seem odd and concerning to me. Maybe it''s unjustified paranoia, but for me, a purchase like this already comes with enough nerves. I''ve never worked with diamond.com, but I hope you they get you the information you need, so you can take Gary up on his offer.

Everyone/Anyone,

I attached the IdealScope image of the 2.14ct stone I mentioned above. The only problem is that I don''t really understand what I''m looking at. Thanks for any help.

did diamond.com send you this scope image?

 

[Rdifo]

I actually stopped dealing with diamond.com. Whiteflash had the same stone listed and they agreed to match the price and have been much more helpful. They sent me the Idealscope image, a 40x image and the sarin for the stone.

 

[belle]

good. i could tell that was a wf image, so i was just making sure it wasn''t another company that sent it

the image actually looks pretty good for a princess. have you read through the idealscope tutorial here?

Gary,

Have you had a chance to evaluate the IS of Infinity princess stones??? Thoughts?
