how much avg price foe 1.01 carot d color si verygood cut egl cer
 
You can use the diamond search tool at the top of the page. EGL does not grade as stringenly as GIA/AGS so they will
not be as expensive as the equivalent GIA?/AGS stone. We usually recommend sticking with GIA/AGS.
 
Need more info to be accurate
 
Gathering from your posting history, you're looking for a 1 carat, D color, SI clarity diamond. What is your budget? Do you care about the integrity/consistency of the lab that graded the diamond? Are you comfortable purchasing online? If you post more information, maybe we can help you out.
 
https://www.pricescope.com/diamond-search-results/ Look it up here. Compare with EGL only as GIA and AGS are much more accurate (an EGL D can easily be a GIA F) and therefore cost more.

Also EGL's very good cut is usually not very good at all. COLOR is not the most important gauge of diamond quality. CUT is.
 
what more info do you need i will get it? just want a rough ballpark price
 
ok here are some stats 6.28-6.25 x 4.02mm total depth 64.2 table width 62 crown height 15 pavilion depth 45 girdle slightly thick faceted polish very good symmetry very good culet none flurecent none d color si clarity 1.01 round brilliant . avg price should be?
 
that stone is measuring too small to be a carat
 
I am not in the trade and do not know how to determine an appropriate value on a stone, but I can tell you what I would pay for that particular stone. NOTHING! It is most likely graded loosely and is poorly cut...you can do much better no matter how good of a deal you think you are getting.
 
what makes this diamond so awful?
 
It is cut way too deep. It should measure around 6.50 by 6.50 by 4 and as you can see it doesn't. I would not waist my time or money.
 
In other words, you'd be paying a 1 carat price for a stone that looks like a .90. I wouldn't buy it unless it was the price of a .50 ct. stone and I could have it recut.
 
http://ideal-scope.com/1.using_reference_chart.asp A stone that is too deep will also have poor light return. See the link I posted. So you are getting a stone that is too small by proportion and also will look small because of the light return-- plus it will be dark.
 
ok what are some good specs so I can look at another stone? just give were I should stay between thanks for any help
 
GIA Ex or AGS0 for cut.
 
ok does egl have any good cuts also?

why are you interested in EGL?
 
Here are some cheat sheet specifications for round brilliant specs/numbers ( PRINT THIS OUT AND TAKE THIS WITH YOU WHEN SHOPPING IN PERSON):

depth - 60 - 62% - although my personal preference is to allow up to 62.4%
table - 54- 57%
crown angle - 34- 35 degrees
pavilion angle - 40.6- 41 degrees
girdle - avoid extremes, look for thin to slightly thick, thin to medium etc
polish and symmetry - very good and above

note - with crown and pavilion angles at the shallower ends ( CA 34- PA 40.6) and steeper ( CA 35- PA 41) check to make sure these angles complement in that particular diamond - eyeballs, Idealscope, trusted vendor input - check as appropriate!

Also, configurations depend on each other. A little give here can still work with a little take there.

With that said, here''s a "Cliff''s Notes" for staying near Tolkowsky/ideal angles with GIA reports (their numbers are rounded): A crown angle of 34.0, 34.5 or 35.0 is usually safe with a 40.8 pavilion angle. If pavilion angle = 40.6 lean toward a 34.5-35.0 crown. If pavilion angle = 41 lean toward a 34.0-34.5 crown.

GIA "EX" in cut is great at its heart, but it ranges a bit wider than some people prefer, particularly in deep combinations (pavilion > 41 with crown > 35).
