Thoughts on the specs of this stone?

[lala646]

I've been looking for a stone to make a solitaire pendant, and found this one on the pre-loved market. I think the specs look good, but would someone please confirm my feelings? The GIA cert is attached, or link here: https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=3335601275&s=1589666425023

I can't get any videos of the stone, so the cert is all I have to go on. I'm willing to take a leap of faith, but wouldn't mind a bit of moral support. Thanks, all!

I would be very concerned about lack of any pics or videos before purchasing, ESPECIALLY preloved. Is there a way to return? Why is the seller unwilling to provide pics/videos? those are all massive red flags to me.

Yeah, it's not that the seller is withholding, it's just the limitation of the platform. I don't have direct contact with the seller.

That would be a deal breaker for me unless there is a clearly ironclad return policy. I don't understand how any selling platform could expect you to purchase an item like this with zero pictures.

Thanks for your input. I reached out to the site to see if there was any chance they could get me a video or better images. And I reached out to Blue Nile, who sold the stone, but they say they don't save the images for long, and the stone was sold last year.

Hi,
Is a website offering this diamond?
I am extremely familiar with the stone.

ETA- there's some confusion here- what does the diamond in question weigh?

I'm told 0.75ct.

Please disregard my comments!! For some reason, there was an attachment to your first post referring to another diamond.....

Can you share what website is offering the stone? I feel really confused about the entire process and how it's possible that you cannot get pictures of a stone before purchasing.

Also, what is the return policy?

 

[Rockdiamond]

Please be very careful. Any website offering diamonds being sold be "professional" sellers needs to be thoroughly vetted.
If it's a private individual selling, the process is different, but hey, who doesn't have a camera these days....

Sorry, @lovedogs, I have asked for photos or video if possible. The seller, who is a private individual, posts photos, and in this case has posted only a basic image that provides no close up view of the stone, but shared the GIA report, and the sales report from Blue Nile. It is a reputable site which does authenticate the item, but the return policy is not optimal. I don't think there are any nefarious motives, as I have purchased lovely jewelry through the site before, including CvB pieces, but lacking good images I was just hoping for some additional input on the cert, which according to the HCA tool looks pretty darn good.

@Rockdiamond Absolutely agreed. If only everyone put as much effort into photographing their pieces as the awesome folks on this site do!
