Need some help, please. Can you folks commment on the following specs:

Carat Weight: 1.65 carat

To me it seems like a very nice stone. Was able to see H&A (sorry no pics), though that is not a requirement. No ASET pic either. Seems to score well on HCA. Looks really nice, but so did others of different/lower cut/color. Any comments or feedback is appreciated. Need to get something big and brilliant for my baby! (Don''t we all!!)

Thanks!

The numbers on the stone are very good. If an ASET or Idealscope image is not available, try to examine the diamond away from display lighting and in as many different lighting conditions as possible. Places to go if you can would include near a window for daylight, under some normal office-type fluorescent lighting and in a low light condition (under a counter or table works just fine). As long as you like how the diamond performs in all conditions, you could have a winner. Make sure it doesn't go dead and lifeless in any of the lighting situations--the low light will really seperate a well cut stone from an average one.

looks like a good looking stone and if you have seen it in person in all lighting condition and it speaks to you and you are happy with it, then all the better.

Ditto Jet and D, looks very promising - check it out away from the store lights to make sure you like the look of it in plain daylight, if so then thats fine!

Thanks guys. I will check it in different lighting scenarios. Also, this stone was already inscribed with the GIA cert. Is that normal? Afraid this might be a refurbished or pre-owned piece.

Ciao!!
