2.00ct Natural Faint Yellow Emerald Cut Diamond
Item #R2548
Platinum Halo Ring with 66 Micro-set Diamonds
if you've looked at enough of our stuff, you will note a recurring theme. Important diamonds need to have GIA reports, and there is no substitute.
Now, you might ask how I could say such a thing considering that this diamond does not have a GIA report. But, it does happen to have a report from a non-GIA lab. As you'll see below, I have rated this diamond U-V, faint yellow color.
I feel pretty sure, that looking at these pictures, you can see the faint yellow color. Well, the non-GIA lab (and it's a well-known one) call this diamond K color. That's right, K color. They might just have likely have called it Fancy Intense Yellow. Either way, it's just not accurate
I don't blame the cutter for sending it to this non-GIA lab. It's likely that many of the jewelry stores that would buy this diamond, would use the non-GIA report. Of course we will not use this report. Considering the remarkable price, we decided to offer this diamond with no report ( our comprehensive appraisal will be included.
When he mentioned this report, this is what I told him.
"I hate those @#$ certificates. If you try to burn them in the fireplace, the laminating stuff really smells bad."
A 1.00 carat diamond for $10,000? Well, that better have a GIA report.
A 2.00 carat diamond for this kind of price? if you're comfortable with the seller, as I am with this cutter, then buying a diamond in this price range with no GIA report is acceptable. I hate to get up on a soapbox, but to me, sellers using a report to sell this diamond, knowing full well that it's inaccurate, is doing something which I feel is out of integrity.
Normally, we manufacture all of our rings in our own factories, right here on 47th St. In this case, we purchased the ring intact, because we love the style, and the manufacture quality is up to our high standards. We'll guarantee the ring just the way we do the ones we make.
The micro-set "melee" ( small round side diamonds) are all fine goods. Well cut, with great clarity, and a high white color.
Diamonds running around the outside and really set it off.
The center diamond is absolutely gorgeous. I love faint yellow emerald cuts, and believe it or not they're pretty hard to find.
From some standpoints, this diamond is extremely unconventional. For example, the depth ratio is right around 40%. This is quite a shallow number. However, a diamond is not about the numbers. It's about the results and how it looks. The result here is phenomenal, because the shallowness does not negatively impact the diamond in any way. On the other hand, you might mistake it for 2 1/2 or even three carat diamond. That is the benefit of this type of depth ratio-the diamond that looks very large for its way.
This emerald cut is incredibly clean as well.
Whatever you might see in these photos as spots, is dust. I called it VS1, but the "certificate" calls it VVS1. Here again, I'm not comfortable calling a diamond VVS without a GIA report. The reason for this, is that the differences between a VVS2, and a VS1, are so subtle. There are diamond that could get VVS2 from GIA, and VS1 the next. It's important to keep in mind, that neither one would be wrong. Ultimately, diamond rating is subjective-there is no machine that can grade a diamond like the human eye.
IN SUMMARY:
An absolutely dropdead ring at an amazing price.
