Ready to spring for a major rock and want to make sure that I'm not being taken. My jeweler is showing me the following stone: 5.32ct pear, E, SI1, Total Depth 54.1%, Table 63.9%, cut grade 3B with an asking price of $57,000. I'm concerned about several things: AGA certificate, large culet, slight flat versus round bottom and I see some bowtie. Jeweler says last two are compromises with a large stone unless I want to pay significantly more.
I need some straight talk and good advice!!!
