Newbie needs Expert Help with Emerald Cut

[kboddye]

I am considering purchasing an Emerald cut diamond on Ebay. I would like to get some expert opinions on the diamond. Here is what I know so far:

GIA Certified
0.93 Carat
6.93 X 4.62 X 3.25
Clarity - VS1
Color - E
Fluorescence - None
Depth - 70.3%
Table - 68%
Girdle - Medium
Culet - None
Polish - Very Good
Symmetry - Good

I prefer a very rectangular Emerald cut. I think the dimensions are ok for that.

I don''t know what questions to ask the seller regarding the cut. I want to make sure that it is a good cut. Any thoughts/suggestions regarding that would be helpful. If there is other information that I should provide before you comment, please let me know.

I would be using this diamond for an engagement ring. I would like to just have the Emerald cut diamond and no other stones.

Thank you very much!

Who is the ebay seller? How much are they asking for the stone?

The Ebay seller was diamondboy. He had it priced at $2710.

The diamond sold a few minutes ago.

Oh well - what is your opinion anyway?

Do you know of this Ebay seller?

Actually diamondboy has a great reputation from what I have heard. I believe on Diamondtalk.com there was quite a lengthy thread about what and who bought from him. And how pleased everyone was.
Try e-mailing him, he may have more ready to list. You might get lucky.

Diamondsbybree - Just curious, what is your opinion of this diamond? I just want to make sure that I am looking at good diamonds. What other info should I request from sellers to ensure that I get a good cut?

Thanks again.
