Hi All,


I'm new to this whole buying engagement ring process. I went to the diamond store & I got a quote for this diamond. I like to know what you all think? Is it a decent deal? According to the salesperson it's a GIA certified diamond. Here is the info I wrote down from the report the salesperson showed me.

Shape: Round
Measurement: 6.38 - 6.49 x 3.93 mm
Weight: 1.00 carat
Depth: 61.1 %
Table: 58 %
Girdlge: Medium, Faceted
Culet: None
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Clarity: VS1
Color: G
Fluorescence: None

The price after some hours of talking is $6240 for the diamond itself.

Thank you all in advance!

Barring other information that could be obtained when physically viewing the diamond, this sounds like a nice diamond at a fairly reasonable price.

dial337,

Very fair price, just be sure about that GIA report before you plunk down the cash.
