Did the GIA cert provide a cut grade or is it an old style cert?

 

[diamonddesignco]

And what is the clarity?

 

[kcoursolle]

So far no red flags. What about the girdle, polish, and symmetry? Do you have any images?

 

[asscherisme]

all ex, no images. Stone is at his local store. He got a copy of cert and emailed it to me. He knows I know the most about diamonds among our friends.

For the specs you describe, the price is very competitive. Looks good.

Everything looks good, but what is confusing me are the C&P angles. GIA rounds....and these aren't.
