Hi,
My boyfriend purchased a stone for me at a reputable store and I am trying to get an idea if we got ripped off or not. He made the choice of carat and color over clarity. Could someone please give me an idea about this? It came with an IGI appraisal and is laserscribed.
Shape/Cut: Rectangular Mod Brill
Measurement: 5.67 x 5.00 x 3.81 mm
Weight: .96ct
Color: G
Clarity: I
Polish/Symmetry: Good/Good
Treatment: None
He paid $2975. It is being put in a Tacori setting. The big blemish I could see under the microscope was a red spot inside the stone in the corner, like a little crystal inside of it. It was almost covered by the setting it was in at the time (it was already in a plain gold band). The salesperson gave some dumb pitch that it is rare, blah blah blah. But we went with it because it was not noticable from the naked eye. I must confess that I got caught up in the moment and wasn''t thinking clearly about all my options. Can someone please give me some realistic comments about this stone?
Thanks
