Question about HCA

[sweetiekins]

I''m a newbie and I have recently been playing around with the HCA calculator. I found a diamond (specs below) and it scored a 2.4-very good. It also said that it was worth buying if the price was right. I''m just not really sure what "the right" price would be. I looked up similar stones, and they were all a couple thousand more. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

1.04 carat RB
E
VS2
6.48-6.53x3.99 mm
ex cut, polish, & symmetry
61.3% depth

Various factors can affect the price, which vendor has it?

I actually found it on ebay, but it is from a California jeweler. You should find it if you look up normangoodman.

I would be nervous buying from ebay. Sort of close in price is this one http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-608084.htm

Ditto - WF''s range of ACAs are gorgeous stones, you can''t go wrong. Especially with their return and upgrade policies, I wouldn''t even be considering ebay.

Thanks everyone for your input. I''m not actually considering buying from ebay, I was just trying to gauge HCA scores compared to diamond specs.

Skippy, thanks for finding that diamond. It''s beautiful.
