Is the diamond engraved with "tiffany"?
Yes from what I can see, it has all the hallmarks on the band and also the inscription on the crown.
It isn’t the bruted girdle being such a concern as much as it is the overall cut of the diamond. I would pass on this one.
Hi, @jujubenut! I have a Tiffany Harmony e-ring with a diamond that has a bruted girdle. We bought the ring directly from Tiffany & Co. in January 2021. The diamond is beautiful and has an HCA score of 1.5; I have no qualms about the bruted girdle.
In that case I wouldn't be worried about authenticity at all. However, I personally wouldn't be happy with the cut of that stone
Please trust the HCA score as a primary point of rejection not acceptance. HCA tells a lot and it’s the first step of evaluation.
Speaking from someone whose original E ring had a poorly cut diamond, then I actually saw a SuperIdeal cut, there is a huge difference.
Light return is made by these technical specifications of CUT.
PS can help you evaluate your next choices so you can pick a diamond with great light return. I’m glad you are getting the help you need to make a good choice.
PS the bruted girdle does have some technical impacts I’ve been told but it is not indicative of a badly cut stone only a technique used by the cutter to impact the way the diamond looks/internal reflections are sometimes impacted (you can search on PS for other discussions on bruted girdles but HCA of this one is a rejection unless you see it in person and love it)).
I really appreciate your feedback! It’s my first time purchasing such an expensive jewelry. I thought the triple excellent along with the color/clarity made it an overall good diamond.
It is a good diamond, better than 99% of diamond people are out there walking around wearing. But most of us around these parts are even more discerning about cut quality than that! Whether you are so discerning is a separate question. I assume you like the brand for this ring. And it’s an estate piece so much less costly than new. You can’t exactly order those up in a whim. So how you value cut quality vs name brand versus $$ is up to you!
Most people here would value cut quality and not pay for the brand, just to put our opinions in perspective.
