Oval 0.98 carat G VS2 GIA - Why is it $500-$1000 less?

[kbjy11]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering why this stone is "discounted", other stones with simliar specs are going for about $500-$1000 more.

I have checked all of the specs, and they look fine. Could it be because of a strong bow-tie? or the "very strong blue" florescence ?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!

VSB fluor will often bring the cost down some. It needs to be examined in direct sunlight to make sure the fluor doesn't cause it to look hazy or milky, which although happens very rarely, it can happen.

Have you seen it in person? I wouldn't buy a stone sight unseen, especially a fancy, as I'd like to see pictures of it, maybe a video, and some ASET images for sure.

Where are you getting this stone from? And what are you comparing it against?

Hey ecf, thanks for the reply.

I'm buying from an online vendor, they don't have it in stock, so they can't take actual pics of it.

Price of the stone is $3,300 just to put a price with the stone, i think it provides very good value.

They also have a good return policy, so if worst comes to worst, i'll just return it.

Any other thoughts??
