My quest for an antique cushion continues: Adam at OWD may have found a contender. Since the purchase price will be in the $30K range, I plan on sending it to an appraiser and was wondering if you folks could advise what I should ask? Here's my list so far (much pulled from DreamerD's advice to JustGinger when she was considering Poppy [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/i-found-it.175686/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/i-found-it.175686/[/URL]).
In addition to cut, color, weight, clarity:
--Face up/down color
--Light distribution
--Under table darkness
--White light v. fire
--Patterning
--Crispness
--Symmetry
--Sarin
--ASET
If I get all of this from a reputable PS appraiser, should I get a GIA certificate as well?
This is my first (and hopefully not my last ) diamond purchase---so advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks much
