Hello!
Exciting and scary time here! I've put a deposit down on a stone (see GIA evaluation in link below, please). I'm wondering if this is a good stone? It is a princess, and the inclusions (the most prevalent being a 'cavity' near one corner, which you can't see . . . at least I couldn't with the loop!) I'm looking for opinions on what a good price for this stone would be, if it is a 'good' stone. I'm mostly worried about the girdle being 'thin to very thick'. Though the depth and table seem good (there isn't much 'weight' lost in the depth of the diamond), I've read that weight can be lost (and light) with a thick girdle. I didn't see (nor do I remember looking at) the girdle...or any problem there. The jeweler insists this is a great stone (of course!) and that I'm getting a good deal (again, of course). I've researched for a year or more, and have looked at at least a dozen stones and this one seems like the best for the dollar. I've got a deposit down, but can still change my mind if folk recommend that this isn't as great a deal as I think. Oh, and it will be set in a platinum knife-edge solitaire setting.
I'll reply later with what the asking price is so you can give your opinions first without being prejudiced Also, might be a bit before I can respond, can't have the lady finding out about the surprise early!

PS also it is a 3 Chevron stone, not a 4...should I look for 4? Thanks!
