I am thinking of buying this diamond today and would greatly appreciate any feedback that you can give me. The details are as follows:
Carats: 1.54
Cut: Emerald
Color: D
Clarity: VS1
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Girdle: Thick
Cutlet: None
Floor: None
Depth: 66.4
Table: 63
Dimensions: 7.20 x 5.99 x 3.98
The jeweler is asking $14,045 for this diamond and I am wondering if this is a good price. I asked him what the diamond cut grade is but they keep saying everything is excellent, but I think they are referring to the finish. Can you help me withthe cut grade from the info I provided. Thanks is advance.

Really very difficult. Emerald Cuts need to be seen in order for a proper evaluation to be made. Numbers, polish and symmetry designations don't tell you the story.
If you're looking for the classical Emerald "look" this diamond only has a 1.2 Length to Width Ratio, when you should be considering at least 1.35 L/W +.
"Square Emeralds" are a different story and correct facet alignment determines light performance and contrast; something that is not known from just the numbers.

Hi Rob,
I agree with Barry- no one can definitely answer if it's a good buy without seeing it.
I do disagree with Barry's assesment of shape.
I love 1.2:1 ratios-
There are no esablished parameters for what constitutes an "Ideal" emerald cut.
If you are comfortable with the seller and love the diamond, the price is not out of line.
