How much will my new diamond appraise for? |
If you
research diamonds on the internet, you're bound to learn all kinds of
interesting facts.
Many of them
will be untrue, if that matters...
For example,
I've read how larger stones show more color than smaller ones. They may also say
that step cuts show more color than rounds
The
proponents of these theories may even "scientific" reasons why. Right. And
bulls have large...horns.
This stone
is a perfect "foil" to that argument. It's quite large, it's a step cut, and
it's K color.
As a trained diamond grader, I
can see the color in the stone- even in some of these photos. BUT, I don't
find it bothersome- a personal thing. I see it as more of a warmth to the color.
Not necessarily a negative thing. Make no mistake, put this next to a D
color emerald cut, and you WILL see the difference. But it's a subtle thing.
The photo below shows the
warmth.
You can notice the warmth in the
next few photos as well.
The amazing thing about an emerald
cut like this one is that they manage to look very "cool white' as well. Also
amazing that the warmth entitles you to a hefty 60% discount over a G color.
Yup. Less than half the price of a G.
I so much love the cut of this
diamond. Again, internet research will lead you to many conclusions that I have
found to be patently false. There are charts giving the "ideal" depth and table-
yet in real life many of the stones downgraded are phenomenal- really well cut.
Plus, other stones that fall within the "ideal" or "AAA" cut grade are not as
attractive to many viewers. Bottom line is that you need to visually assess the
diamond. These photos give you the main ingredients- once you buy the diamond,
with our 7 day money back guarantee- and you actually hold it- you'll find the
photos inadequate.
Its way nicer in person.
This stone falls into the "Ideal"
category on the lists, but that's still no reason to endorse them. other stones
having identical Table and Depth mill look totally different. Even if a stone is
the same length and width, the corners have tremendous influence on the overall
personality of the stone. I'm drooling over the corners on this one......
It's a very good VS1 diamond. It
will take a trained grader a few moments to find the imperfection with a loupe.
It could have easily been graded
VVS2. Totally eye clean- sorry about the photos that may have a little dust.
Photographing diamonds is a
difficult task. Our goal is always the same- shoot and publish photos that most
accurately represent the diamond.
Photos are good, yet they must be
seen in context. We do this by publishing many photos. Color representation, for
example, requires several photos. In many cases we also provide a video for
further comparison. After hearing the reactions of many thousands of folks who
have purchased based on the photos- they give you a very good idea what you'll
see when you open the box.
