This diamond is from Israel-Diamonds and was almost used for an engagement ring. Attached is a scan of the EGL certificate and the Insurance appraisal sheet (not that that means much!). In the magnified picture, you can see the inclusions as indicated in the cert, but keep in mind that the picture is highly magnified--in my opinion this diamond definitely qualifies as eye-clean (if you would like better pictures, please inquire). Also, the coveted "hearts & arrows" which indicate excellent symmetry are present, as noted in the certificate. This diamond is cut to the highest EGL standard and sparkles endlessly; a quick check with the Holloway Cut Advisor shows that this diamond has outstanding light return (scoring 1.3). There is slight graining, but it is unnoticeable to the eye and for that reason this diamond is not worth as much as the comparison diamonds below. I'm asking for $1,000 or best offer, shipping included.

Some similar diamonds are listed below for a basis of comparison:

all $4,400+

Check the average prices for a 1.00ct excellent cut round and you'll see that this quality of diamond is much more than what I'm willing to sell it for.
