1. Is this diamond consider Ideal cut?

The measurements that you provided seem nice however, there is not enough information to determine if the diamond meets true Ideal standards. Do you have additional proportion information.

2. Is this a good/nice diamond?

Again, more information would be necessary. Do you have light analysis information available for the stone? More importantly, if you do not have this information, have you seen the diamond and do YOU like it?

3. The seller asking for $26,500.00, is this a good price, or how much should
I pay for this diamond?

I am assuming the diamond is actually 1.75 ct, not 7.75 ct. ????

You can search the prices of other similar stones by using the "find online jeweler" feature above to get a price comparison. Thought 1.75 ct stones are not too abundant on the general market, this may factor into the price as well.

tamiethan,

Hire an independent appraiser. Don't drop $26,000 on a diamond and then have unanswered questions or worries at the end because you wanted to save a hundred bucks on appraisal fees.

Not "ideal" by AGS standards as the Table is 58%.

Price is relative to Quality and there is not enough information provided here to make a judgement. Would like to see Cut analysis and measurement of light performance.
