Hi Everyone
)
My boyfriend and I have been working with a trusted jelwer that his family has bought from for years, to create an engagement ring. After looking at a variety of diamonds over the past few months, we finally found one that really embodied everything we are looking for. I''ve relied on the great info. in the forums throughout this process to help us make the most informed choice and just wanted to run the stone info. by all of you and the price just to feel an extra sense of security. Hope you guys don''t mind!
The stone:
Oval 1.76 carat diamond
GIA Certified
Cut: very good
Polish: very good
Symatry: very good
Flor: medium blue
Color: I
Clarity: VS1
Culet: none
Girdle:medium-thick (facetted)
Cost:$8,500
General info. on the diamond:
*I don''t have the dimmensions but do recall that it is 9mm in length. The stone is a little on the shallow side, not paper thin, but not as deep as it could ideally be. However it has a fantastic spread on it, lots of finger coverage, absolutely NO bowtie and for a stone on the shallower side, had beautiful light return. It just danced!! Looked at it under a variety of lighting, even took it outside lol Didn''t look yellowy and did not appear to loose the light. It has that "crushed ice" type cut, which I happen to be a big fan of. I was initially going for a 2 carat but was having to compromise to remain in budget on the clarity. When we decided to go down slightly in size, our clarity greatly improved and the jewler was able to find this stone that had a larger feel with the spread. It will be going into a white gold setting with a subtle split shank with micropave and will also have a delicate micropave halo around it. Would you guys be able to tell me if you feel the price sounds about right? I think it sounds good but all of you have considerably more insight and I trust all of your feedback. Thanks a bunch!
