First - I have read a ton of posting on the board over the last week or so and have already learned a lot from all the regulars here. Thanks, but I still don''t know everything I need to as I can''t make a decision.
Can anyone give me insights into the same diamond (confirmed through the GIA report identifier) can be rated by 1 site as fair cut, and another as ideal? I looked a the numbers as best I could (not sure how to get crown height on an Emerald cut stone) on the Accredited Gem Appraisers website and it seems to be ok, but tough to tell without the crown height - do this even exist for an emerald cut)? Here are the details of the stone:
Site 1:
Diamond Details: Catalog ICEJ1151
Carat 1.02 Cut Emerald Color F Clarity VVS2
Report GIA
Cut Quality Excellent
Measurements 5.86x5.51x3.65
Length/Width 1.06
Depth 66.2 Table 60 Girdle stk- Culet None
Polish Excellent
Symmetry Very Good
Fluorescence None
Site 2:
Stock Number AA185884
Certificate: GIA
Shape: Emerald
Cut: Fair
Carat: 1.02 Color: F Clarity: VVS2
Measurements: 5.86-5.51-3.65
Length to Width: 1.06
Depth Percentage: 66.2 % Table Percentage: 60 % Girdle: STK-
Culet: None (Pointed)
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluorescence: None (Inert)
Is cut evaluation really that subjective or is site 2 more conservative and better representing this diamond?
Also any advice on clarity for an emerald cut stone would be helpfull - I want to be sure that I get a stone that is eye clean and am not sure if that is VS2, VS1 or if I have to go better than that.
Thanks in advance.
