If that is for the stone loose (no ring/setting), then you can definitely do better at the same price (or pay less for an equivalent stone).

Based on the fact that you've got a 'very good' cut grade, I'm going to assume that the grading is being done by someone OTHER than GIA or AGSL (GIA has no cut grade for princesses at all and AGSL doesn't use that term) so I'm left wondering what the source of the grading is. It makes a huge difference.

Hi Rahul1!
Welcome

The price sounds good.. try to use our "Diamond Finder" tool, and I bet you can find something lower than 2800 with better specs...
If you really know the jeweler and confident about the diamond,you can go for it.
Keep us posted!

I agree that you can do better on the price for a better cut quality. You are probably thinking that the finish grade of Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry is the cut grade, but that is wrong. It is just the finish grade. GIA doesn't give a cut grade for princess cut diamonds.
When looking at online sites, some will put their own grade on the diamond list without ever seeing the stone.

If purchasing online, it is possible to get a vendor that will view the stone for you, run a light performance analysis and take actual photos of the stone for you before you purchase. You don't have to buy in the blind. Some will also give you a 100% upgrade policy in the future as well with no restrictions and can make a custom mounting for you too. Look for a site with really good services and prices.

EGL certification? Probably not certified.
