Hi guys,
I've been lurking over the past couple of days and I was hoping to get your advice on a purchase: http://www.eternitydiamonds.com/diamond_detail.php?id=542332 --> (Apologies in advance if I've made some massive rookie error)
Carat weight: 1.00
Cut: V. Good
Color: H
Clarity: SI1
Price per carat: $6444 (~$400 cheaper with pricescope and bank wire)
Depth %: 62.6
Table %: 56
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: V. Good
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 6.35-6.39x3.99
My price range is right around $6000 for the diamond and I want to get a well rounded diamond for the price. I'm okay with dropping in size (.94-1 maybe?), and really I just want to get something that my fiance can be proud of.
One question I have is that the HCA rating for this is under 2 but the cut is only VG. I'm not sure how I should weight this out...
I really need some help on this because I just learned that my job is going to take me away for 4 months, and so I have about a month to make the purchase in order to have the time line fit. I would really appreciate any advice, regardless of how brutal, as long as it gets me closer to finding a good diamond in the next coupla weeks. Any suggestions of other diamonds that might be good for me would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance
