I''m looking at a diamond with a GIA report from February 2004. The report appears to lack some of the detailed information I''ve seen on more recent ones. For example, there''s no cut grade, and no picture of the diamond with detailed measuements I can enter into the HCA.
I''ve set forth the available information below. Here are my questions:
1. Am I correct that there''s no way to evaluate the cut from the limited information available on this old GIA report?
2. Have GIA standards as to color and clarity grading changed at all since 2004?
3. Is it necessary to verify that the stone (which has been set in a ring) has not been damaged or degregated in any way since grading and, if so, how is that done?
4. Finally, where were diamond prices in 2004, compared to the present time, for this type of stone?
ROUND BRILLIANT
7.68-7.70 X 4.79mm
1.71 ct.
Depth 62.3
Table 56
Thin to Medium, Faceted
Cutlet-None
Polish-Excellent
Symmetry-Excellent
VS-2
G
No Flourescence
