So here are the details:
• IGI-certified 1.02 CT Princess Cut Diamond
• VS(1) clarity
• I color - near colorless
• Cut - Excellent
• Polish - Very Good
• Symmetry - Good
• Measurements: 5.45 x 5.42 x 4.06 mm
• Fluorescence - None
• Culet - None
Forgive the poor pictures, the ring is beautiful, the camera is not so hot.
If you do your research, which I hope you do, you will notice that the Zales collection only comes in 18kt gold. Very good... but I wanted a platinum ring, so I had Zales switch the stone to a platinum setting. So, the best just got better.
For even better peace-of-mind for you, the diamond is laser-scribed by IGI with a serial number matching the certification. In fact, if you would like to view the IGI certification online, feel free to PM me and I will provide you with that number.
Pricing is always difficult with jewelry. The certification from IGI comes with an estimated retail value of $9,040, and that's just for the stone. Those prices are always inflated (research, again). This was purchased from Zales for $6,000, which I can show you with the original receipt.
You can get on WhiteFlash.com and buy the same diamond for $4,500 (plus tax) and then pay another $440 (plus tax) for the band... a little bit of shipping and you'll be out the door for around $5400. BlueNile.com will get you the same diamond for $4,700 (plus tax) and the band for $450 (plus tax) and get it to you for $5,600. Or, you can buy this ring, in hand, for about $1,000 less, or maybe even less.
Make me an offer and we'll see if we can work something out. I'm not going to give it away, but I would like to sell this sooner rather than later.
It is currently sized a 6, but can be expanded or shrunk as necessary. I'll be happy to answer any questions, so feel free to PM me.
Also, if you are local (Austin, TX), I will be happy to meet you at any jeweler's for a look.
Original sales receipt and IGI certification will be included.
Thanks for looking...best of luck... and God bless!
