My girlfirend fell in love with the Asscher / Square Emerald cut diamond .... so my mission is to find a great one for her E-Ring.
I have been to several local B/M jewelry stores in Atlanta and visited many online storefronts and I think i found a great diamond at a good price ..... I have seen it in person ..... and now i'm hoping to get a few opinions.
My desired specs: Carats: 1.4-1.75 Clarity: VS1/VS2 Color: F/G
Also, I have decided that I definaltely like the look of a larger Table on a Square Asscher vs smaller table commonly seen on the Royal Asscher.
Here are the specs of the diamond im seriously considering purchasing: (actual GIA cert is attached)
Shape: Asscher / Sq. Emerald
Carats: 1.53
Clarity: VS2
Color: G
Measmnts: 6.7 x 6.7 x 4.16 mm
Depth: 62.1%
Table: 67.0%
Girdle: Thin -Medium
Culet: N
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
Fluor: Strong Blue
Certified: GIA
=====================
Price: $7,200 (diamond only).
30 day return policy
Questions:
1. What do you think of the specs?
2. I am a bit uneasy about the "Strong Blue Fluorescence". The jeweler placed this diamond next to 2 other similar stones w/o flourescence and I couldnt tell any difference in terms of appearance.
3. Does Strong Flou account for a lower price? I've done the price search on pricescope ..... and this stone seems to be at the "inexpensive" end of the spectrum. Could this be because of the Flou? What else should i be concerned about?
4. My girlfriend likes a "simple, thin, platimum setting". The jeweler suggested a "Tiffany Style" platinum setting. Does this sound like a good direction to take for an Asscher? Does anyone have examples i can see?
Thoughts? Comments? Insults??? Thanks in advance for your valued input!
