Can someone help a newbie on this site? I''m quite impressed by the dedication and kindness shown by Mara and others!
I''m looking at WF for a brilliant loose stone, around 1 CT in either H or I; SI1 clarity for my wonderful wife of (almost) 25 years (next week).
WF has found about six stones for me in their ACA grade; all are AGL certified.
The following specs on one of the better looking stones (at least over the computer) are:
CT: 1.027
Measurements (SARIN): 6.49-6.53mm X 3.98mm
Depth% (AGL): 61%
Depth% (SARIN): 61.1%
Table% (AGL): 56.1%
Table% (SARIN): 56.6
Crown Angle: 34.7-35.2
Crown%: 15.3%
Pav Angle: 40.6-40.9
Pav Depth: 42.9%
Culet Size: .4%
Girdle: Thin to Medium
Star length: 55%
Lower Halves: 76%
"Ideal 0" with very minor crystal and cloud on AGL diagram.
Flourescence: Neligable
Holloway Score: 1.5 with "Excellent" on all except "spread" (VG).
Not sure why the SARIN report differs from the AGL cert/WF document, other than (from what I can gather by reading all of your helpful advice) human opinion differences....? Although I''m not sure why actual measurements would differ.
WF is asking just over $5,400 for this stone; I''d be VERY grateful if some of you could take a look at the uploaded "Idealscope" picture and give me helpful advice about the quality and price, before I go through the exercise of getting it mailed out and appraised.
Thanks in advance!
