What do you think of this EGL EC???

[alibi]

Hello All,

I''m shopping for my engagement ring, and wanted to know what you think of this EC. It''s priced at $4200, which seems like a good price, but I''m still new to this so I don''t know. Also, I''ve been looking at 1 ct. EC''s in the EF color range that are a little more expensive, but obviously whiter. It''s a pretty stone, but I wanted to come to the "experts!" Here are the specs:

Weight: 1.25 Cts.
Color: H
Clarity: VS1
Measurements: 7.33 - 5.59 x 3.34 mm
Depth: 59.7 %
Table Width: 66%
Crown Height: 9%
Pavilion Depth 48%
Girdle Thickness: Medium, Polished
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Cutlet: None

EGL USA I hope. I would not get other EGL certs (Europe, Israel, Belgium etc).

Do you have a picture? I really need to see the step pattern. A good close up of the table view.

I''m hoping you also have an ASET but I have a feeling you don''t.

Dang it, it''s EGL Europe! Are they nit as good?

And i don''t have an ASET, is there a way to get one online? TIA.

EGL Europe is very lax with their cert, so the H VS1 could be I/J VS2/SI1, which is why they are priced less.

You can purchase an ASET here:

Alibi, have you seen many others to compare to this diamond? It can be hard to tell what sort of ' look' appeals to you without having others to compare to, so shop around a bit if you can before pulling the trigger. If you love this stone, make the sale final on it checking out with an independant appraisal.
