Full disclosure: I dabbled in the online diamond education before two different coworkers highly recommended a jeweler they used for their engagement rings, so I kind of stopped there. Now, I'm pretty far into the process with this guy and I'm not sure this is really as great as my coworkers said. Trying to read up on all the guides and tools, but could really use a quick reality check from you guys.
Anyways, the diamond is this one: http://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=5172766937
Round 1.32 Carat
Excellent Cut, I color, VS2 clarity
Strong Blue Florescence
Excellent Symmetry and Polish
If I enter all the details into the HCA tool, I get 5.2 which seems pretty questionable. The jeweler says its bright white, no visible flaws, scores in the "99th percentile for sparkle production" - whatever that means. Given the measurements and score, could this actually be a nice performing diamond?
For reference, I'm being quoted $10K all-in, but that includes a somewhat reworked engagement ring that I'd estimate is about $2K.
Thanks for your help!
