The hunt for excellence in RB SI1's

[bljones214]

Hi, long time lurker- first time poster! I must say I'm become quite obsessed with these lil pieces of carbon. I've done my homework and ready to pull the trigger on a RB 1.80 F S11..hopefully a halo setting to follow!

Here are the deets:
1.80
Depth: 61.3%
Table: 58%
Crown: 35%
Pav: 40.6%
Pol: Ex; Sym: VG; No fluor.
GIA report is viewable: 1119610338

I think a really nice SI as far as inclusions go.. I've negotiated a really tight deal w/ a local jeweler 4% over RapNet/Polygon (he'll produce the invoice). I found this one myself, so how does it stack up?? Hopefully stacks well: looking at total cost of $17.9K without the setting.
I appreciate your help -- I will surely post pics of the eventual stone in its custom plat halo setting

Be well!

Ahhh, so the Crown & Pavilion angles should be angles not percentages. Sorry the C &P are 35.0° and 40.6°, respectively for the above mentioned stone.

Where else can I see lots and lots of Grade reports?? How do we find the *best* (most eye clean) SI1s?

Looks promising.

No way to tell from a report if a stone is eye-clean or not.

Try James Allen, they have many stones with loupe images listed.

EDT:
Price looks good.
