Since I posted here yesterday, I thought I would update the nice people who replied. I was the lady was going to see a local sale diamond, 1.02 pear center .75 sides for 800 dollars. I went to the retail location, the owner of the business was selling the diamond, his name was on the sale slip, credit card slips, the retail business itself and the insurance appraisals, so that was reassuring to me. I had a loupe so I looked the diamond over carefully, and then we took it to the local jewler. It was diamond and very nice, at least IMHO so I bought it, and its on my finger now, very pretty. I am moving up from a .4 L color I1-I2, so it is a huge leap for me.

These are the diamond specs;
Pear shaped, brilliant cut, 1.02 weight, G color, SI2 (all I saw under the loupe was a tiny carbon spot that I could hardly see, I would have pegged it at SI1), 7.62 by 5.02 by 3.82 depth, table measurement 64%, depth 76.1. The mounting is .75 and they are VS, G-H stones very sparkly. There are two appraisals, one from Blue Diamond, and one from EGL, both of which have listed of course a very inflated value. The man had bought it for an engagement gone bad and it had never been worn, he paid 3250 three years ago, and gave me all the sales and credit card slips.

The slip says that it was cut by paramount and the diamond has a number by it, does that mean that there is a number inscribed on the diamond?
 
As one of yesterday''s sincere doubter''s, I''m very happy you are pleased with your new ring. May it bring you many year''s of happiness!!

For some reason it will not let me upload the pictures I just took, but it you look at my previous thread there is a picture of it. It really is a jump for me. Maybe some day I will have my two carat round, but until then.

Make sure the files are under 100kb and that the names are really something different like "kdfjkdjk99e9r89" lol.
 
Congrats on your purchase, and I hope you are extremely happy with it! You must take a few moments to snap some pictures for us....I did see the picture from the previous thread (I think it was from the ebay auction?) but I couldn''t even tell it was a pear shaped diamond from that pic! Don''t leave us hanging....I want to see this beauty.

Yay! Glad you got a gorgeous ring, glad your life wasn''t in danger in the process, and glad the guy at least got back a little of his money from his failed engagment. Win win win.
 
Its not a great picture, its much whiter in real life.

Well Happy....


Guess you found the "needle in the haystack" appears to be a true bargain of bargains. The ring and the side diamonds are most likely worth what you paid, so seems like you got the center stone at "no charge".

It looks really nice. I think there are jewelry bargains to be found on eBay, but very, very few and you have to be really careful. Congrats on a great find & enjoy your new ring!
 
Can''t see the pic...
