Hello. We're looking at diamonds and have found one at a jeweler that we're interested in. We just want to be sure that we're getting a good deal. If anyone can offer us any insight as to what this stone should cost, it will be greatly appreciated. The jeweler is offering us a price of approximately $3500. Here are the specs:
GIA certified July 02/laser inscription
.72 ct. pear, F color
Measurements: 7.41 x 4.90 x 3.04
Depth: 62%
Table: 54%
No culet or fluorescence.
Girdle: Medium- very thick
Clarity- SI1 with feather and cloud (these inclusions were very hard to find- even on a magnified image on a TV)
The diamond looks beautiful to the eye and the light return appears to be excellent. There's a lot of fire and brilliance- lots of colors flashing from the stone. Also, the bowtie effect is not as pronounced in this stone as we've seen in others.
Please help. Thanks!
