I took it to the appraiser today. The stone looked good (eye clean, sparkly, lots of fire and spectral color) but the appraiser didn't have a hearts and arrow viewer or anything to measure light leakage.


Thanks for your help!!

that is an interesting pavilion angle! are you sure that's not the %?




when i plug those numbers into the HCA..it will not let me put in 42.2 pav angle. it says it's wrong or the girdle is dangerously thin.




then when i put 42.2 as the % ....it shows 1.1 EX...not 0.7.




unsure what #'s you are using to get 0.7 on the HCA?

Mara,
you are right. the pavillion angle is 40.4
Thanks for noticing my error.

In that case!

The stone should be lovely. If it sparkles, and you love it, its eye-clean... the cut looks very nice. I like the fluor on the G...that should be very pretty! VERY nice price as well!! Is it offline at a B&M? Let us know what you decide.

Thanks Mara. It is from a pricescope vendor.
I just came back from the appraiser and wanted to check in and get opinions before I sign the check!

It looks awesome to me!

An eye-clean SI-2 in that size is a great find, and G is a great no-compromise color. If I were still looking for a stone for my fiancee's engagement ring, that would definitely be one I would really consider. It scores a 0.8 EX/EX/EX/VG on the HCA with the angles, and it seems like the appraiser and your own eyes verified that this is true. If you're worried about H&A, you could always buy a viewer for yourself relatively inexpensively and check it out during your refund period.

I think if your eyes tell you it looks great, you should go for it.

Sign the check, sign the check. I can't wait to see pictures and hear the story.
