Yes it is the newbie again ...

[Lippity]

Still quite excited about our pending purchase and clicking on the various bells and whistles provided here. I did manage to find this diamond, it seems like an exceptional bargain to my untrained mind. What i did pick up however is the thickness or lack of it with regard to the girdle, vaguely remembering something about this being a possible problem ... is anyone able to advise? Any assistance sure would be appreciated~

Hi Lippity! I would recommend that you have one of the moderators move your post over to Rocky Talky, you will get more responses there. It would be helpful to have crown and pavilion angles for the diamond you are asking about, so as to get a better idea of the cut of the diamond. Just hit the report concern button and ask for your post to be moved. And welcome to pricescope!

Hi June, thanks for the welcome and your assistance. I was wondering whether I was posting to the correct area or not

Have done as you suggested, thanks again!

there is no problem with a "thin" girdle. Is this an EGL stone?

EGL is known to be soft in color and clarity grading and is as such discounted in trade when compared to similar GIA/AGS graded stone. Buyers beware.

Hi Lippity and welcome!

I think this diamond is graded by EGL Israel, this lab can be quite lenient on grading in some cases with EGL USA said to be the strongest of these labs. Read more from the Pricescope Tutorial on How the Grading Labs Rank.
