Table = 62%
Depth = 68.3%

So, if I were able to get the price down to say $6000 then would that then be a more acceptable price?

That's why it's so cheap! Only rounds get cut grades from GIA, so when you said the cut was VG, I assumed it was round.What's the table and depth %s?Anyway, it's not such a great price anymore. See this I SI1 for comparison's sake: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Cushion-Diamond-1458255.asp It’s a cushion. That’s why it’s so cheap! Only rounds get cut grades from GIA, so when you said the cut was VG, I assumed it was round.

What’s the table and depth %s?

Anyway, it’s not such a great price anymore. See this I SI1 for comparison’s sake:

I have the actual report with me. There are no fluorescences. It has feathering and an indented natural...but according to the picture on the report, it's just around the edges. Nothing in the middle. The only thing I am running into after looking more at your great informative site is that I don't see where on the GIA report that it tells me the cut. I see: Shape and Cutting style.......Cushion modified brilliant Measurements.....6.5x6.49x4.43mm Carat Weght....1.5 Color Grade....I Clarity Grade....SI2Additional Grading information Finish Polish...very good symmetry.....very good fluorescence....noneAm I missing the cut grade somewhere on this GIA report?Thanks agian! -John Thanks so much for the extremely quick reply.

If not, then this is very very cheap. Just make sure it doesn't have a horrible dead center SI2 that you're just not seeing because you're not looking hard enough. Because she'll see it for sure. That price is just too good to be true unless there's some special circumstance. Is there any fluorescence? If not, then this is very very cheap.

I have located one with the following GIA certification. Carat Weight=1.5 Color=I Clarity=SI2 Cut=Very Good Price=$7000Does this price seem right for this diamond? If not, what price seems reasonable. The diamond looks great, but I don't have a trained eye. My worse fear is buying it, getting it set and then later having it appraised for insurance purposes and it appraises for a lower value than I paid. Thanks so much for your help.-John Hello,
I am in market for a diamond for engagement ring. I have located one with the following GIA certification.
Carat Weight=1.5
Color=I

Cut=Very Good

Does this price seem right for this diamond? If not, what price seems reasonable. The diamond looks great, but I don’t have a trained eye. My worse fear is buying it, getting it set and then later having it appraised for insurance purposes and it appraises for a lower value than I paid. Thanks so much for your help.
