Hello, :wavey:

I'm a loooong time lurker, but this is my first post. I have been searching for months for an OEC diamond that I can place in a bezel pendant, specifically between .6 and .8 carats. I came across this one on Ebay and would like to get your opinions as to whether or not it's a good buy. I highly doubt it's a G color or SI, but the faceting looks interesting. Since it's for a pendant I'm not too concerned about color or inclusions, as long as they aren't highly noticeable. What do you think?

Thanks!

Should I post this on Rocky Talk instead?
 
Even for a pendant, I would still have some parameters on what I would think is acceptable. Personally, $500 is a lot for the diamond you linked to. It looks a little beat up on the girdle, its off round, I see inclusions (unless it is REALLY dirty) that are very visible, the cut...I hate to be the one to "poo poo" it, but I do think with the help of others on the forum you can find something better.

Start with your wishlist (budget, size diamond, color range, clarity range...) Ebay is a really dangerous place if you don't have these in mind. You risk purchasing something on impulse that isn't what you wanted.

Rockytalky is a great place to start. :wink2:
 
Did you email them to see if the inclusions are eye visible? I have a feeling they are going to be. If they are, then this is not a good price for the stone. I think with time and a little patience, you can find something better. What's your budget?
 
Thank you for the replies. I did email her and she said it was eye-clean. I'm skeptical, which is my reason for posting here. I definitely won't be bidding!

I would like to pay no more than $1000 for the diamond and setting. I'm guessing I'd have to go with a warmer color and smaller size for that price, but wouldn't want to go below a 1/2 a carat. It would be fantastic if I could find a completed pendant instead of a loose diamond, but if I can find the right diamond I'd be thrilled.

Thanks again for your help!
 
Heraanderson, thank you for the lovely suggestions. I'm going to keep my eye on that last one in particular!
