Hi
I recently got engaged after my fiance and I spent what seemed like a very long time looking for an engagement ring. However, since then, I''ve come to realize the following:
1) Crown angle is too low and hence,
2) Lots of sparkle but less fire
3) One of the two feathers is visible to naked eye
4) Slight discrepancies between GIA certificate an sarin report.
According to GIA certificated dated 27 June 2002:
-Cut-cornered square modified brilliant (box radiant)
-Size: 1.03 carat
-Depth/Table: 56.7% /65%
-Girdle: Thin to slightly thick
-Culet/Fluorescence: None/None
-Polish/Symmetry: Very Good/ Good
-Clarity/Color: SI1 / G
According to Sarin report provided by the store:
-Crown angle/height: 22.5''/7.2% 0.44mm
-Pavilion depth: 45.8% 2.80mm
-Culet: 1% 0.06mm
-Table: 66% 4.06mm
-Depth: 57% 3.49mm
1) Should I be worried about the slight differences in table and culet figures?
2) Did I pay waaay too much at $5250?
3) Of two feathers, one is visible to the naked eye. Doesn''t this automatically disqualify the stone as NOT SI1?
4) Is it possible the feather has gotten larger since the engagement? I.e. could I have enlarged it by accidentally knocking it against something?
5) Low crown angle; the stone is spread cut and therefore does not have a lot of light return? Hence the lack of fire?
I love the man dearly but I feel sick just thinking at the possibility that this stone is not worth what we spent. Please advise!!!
