Repost:Is a preowned 10yo HOF diamond ok? Need to decide Thx

Hi Everyone,

I need helping a decision about purchasing a preowned 0.77 round Hearts on Fire (HOF) diamond ring. The ring's report is from 2001. So the diamond is older and I wondered if this was a good deal at $2400.00.

I will list the stats below, but I am concerned about the color i, and clarity S1. Please assist. I've learned here so far that if it is well cut, like HOF that I shouldn't worry so much about clarity or color i.

Report Type: Diamond Quality™ Document
Shape and Style: Round Brilliant
Measurements: 5.92 - 5.96 x 3.63 mm
Cut Grade: AGS Ideal 0
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Proportions: Ideal
Color Grade: AGS 2.0 (H)
Clarity Grade: AGS 5 (SI1)
Carat Weight: 0.770
Fluorescence: Inert

Table: 55.0%
Crown Angle: 35.0
Crown Height: 15.7%
Girdle: Faceted, 1.0% to 1.4%
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Pavilion Depth: 42.9%
Total Depth: 61.1%
Culet: Pointed


Thank you,
J

The only way I would buy it is if the seller meets you at an appraiser's office so the appraiser can verify if the stone is still in the original condition stated on the lab report. The diamond may be great or it may have damage from wear. No way to know unless you recertify with GIA or use a reputable appraiser to evaluate the stone.

Did you mean H or I color? You asked about I but listed the specs as H.

A brand new hearts and arrows H SI1 is $3514 brand new with all the trade-in policies. So that stone is not a good deal at all if it is I SI1.
