Yet another diamond I'm looking at. Thoughts?

[fooz7283]

Thanks to everyone that provided advice regarding the last diamond I looked at. This is the other one I'm considering. Here are the specs.

Round Brilliant
Measurements: 5.92 - 5.96 x 3.59 mm
Carat Weight: .75 carat
Color Grade: F
Clarity Grade: VVS1
Total Depth: 60.4%
Table: 57%
Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted
Culet: None
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good.


All that is from the GIA report. But the problem is that it's from 1999. They're asking for $5500.

As a reference here is the other diamond I'm looking at. For $7500.

Crown Angle: 35.0°
Crown Height: 15.0%

Lower Half: 75%
Girdle: MED to STK, F (4.0%)

Which one would you buy?

I would not pay for VVS clarity and go under a carat and the J is overpriced. So NEITHER!

I would go for a G SI1 or H SI1 or an I SI1 stone at a carat.

are these stone from at an actual store or an on line vendor? If you wanted to share your budget and your desired specs evveryone on here would be happy to help find one, unless youre determined to buy one from a local store.

I personally would want to pay for that high of clarity or color, when an H VS2 is still considered colorless for a round and eye clean.

scores a 1.1 on the HCA calculator and is under 7 with your PS wire discount. And they would pull it in and review it for you at no cost.
