Update on Robbins Bros. Purchase

[jrod100]

Ok guys after about an hour of negotiation from my original $10,500 purchase I ended up with the following for $7900.00 with the replacement insurance etc.


Round Brilliant GIA Certified
6.46 x 6.49 x 3.89mm
Carat Weight 1.01
Color Grade: E
Clarity Grade: VS2
Cut Grade: Very Good

Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluoresence: None
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick
Depth: 60.1% Table: 59%

Not sure what the angles mean, but there are two, one on the top half of the diamond illustration 34 deg and one on the bottom half 40.6 deg.

I''m sure I still probably overpaid, but all in all I''m a happy camper.

Can''t wait to pop the question.

Thank you for the kind comments. Believe me it wasn''t the easiest thing in the world having to deal with their "certified gemologist/manager"

but everything worked out in the end.

I ran your stone''s numbers through the HCA and it scored really well... I bet it''s a real beauty. Can''t wait to see the photos!

The two angles you mentioned are the crown & pavillion angles, btw.
