I just put a down payment on a ring and I want to know what you thought of this deal. It is a Pear shaped, 1.21 C, vs ii, F Color, very good symetry, good polish, no culet, no flourescence. 8.67x5.97x3.81mm.

Depth 63.8%
Table 54%
Crown 16%
Pavilion 41%
Girdle Medium, faceted

This is an EGL cert but my guy tells me that the f is pretty darn close and that that, with the 'very good' symetry make it a very firey stone. (I havn't seen it yet!)

My price was $5,700.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Kid Rock

kidrock212,

Everything you've posted about the diamond looks very promising. The price also seems to be very reasonable.

The only thing I would want you to understand is that EGL is not as stringent in their grading standards as GIA. This means that your "F-VS2" Pear shape may very well grade as "G-SI1" if evaluated by a more strict laboratory.

With that said, $5,700 would still be a fair price for a GIA graded G-SI1.

Enjoy your new diamond!
