Yet another request for advice

Hi. I''m in the Washington D.C. area and have been looking for engagement rings for the past couple of months. I have a diamond in mind but would like any advice or criticism. Also, I''m planning on purchasing the tiffany style platinum setting from Superbcert. Thank you.

Hi

can you supply us w crown/pav angles or %s?

...also, don't know if the price is fair, as the color/clarity was not supplied

An $8000.00 1.02ct. sombody is going to make some good money or the color and clarity are high!

Here's a link to a cut grading chart...

We need more info:


Color/clarity/pavilion angle/crown angle


comments on the cert


will the vendor provide an idealscope/firescope image




When you get the info, plug it into the Cut Adviser

Color: D

Unfortunately, I don't have the crown/pav angles or %s. I'll try to find out tommorow. Thank you.

This wouldn't be your stone, would it? Although the specs appear to be different, this 1.03 D-VS2 SuperbCert (http://www.superbcert.com/Shop_By_Product/Diamond_Details.cfm/P/217792/N/1;1) is also about $8400. It scores a 1.5 on the HCA and gets 1A on the AGA cut charts. The BrillianceScope and ImageScope photos looks pretty good too.

If not, you might want to consider this one (it has strong blue flourescence, which produces a really cool effect).

Re: the stone you posted, the spread (6.61mm to 6.63mm) seems a bit large for the stone's carat weight (but the 1.03 I posted was 6.53 to 6.61, so what do I know).

You also might want to check out these two links for similar stones in the same price range/specs:

I found this one at Whiteflash. It isn't their branded line, but it is a lot bigger and has a fabulous IdealScope image. There is a Pricescope discount, so it'd be about $8400. Whiteflash does a nice Tiffany replica as well.

This is a D-SI1 in their branded line that is also in your range.
