Oops! Another one slipped into my ebay cart

Jeweler says there is nothing structurally wrong with the diamond. But DZ apparently is VERY optimistic about the specs on the diamond. They listed it as I-J, SI1-SI2. Jeweler says it's more K-L and definitely I1, perhaps I2. The inclusions are VERY visible under the microscope (and with a loupe), but they aren't big carbon spots so they're not visible in real life.

Appraisal will come it at more than I paid for it, but certainly not double, so insurance won't cost a fortune.

I'll probably keep it since I do like it and it's exactly what I wanted size- and style-wise. For an ill-cut, lower clarity diamond, it's still a little beauty.

What was the price?

I gotta say Libby, for what you got there are a million less pricey option on ebay I consider DZ to be fair bit high for ebay.

Dreamer_D,

$1900. If you have suggestions, I'm all eyes! I know you have a good eye. There's not much in the way of OMC that are large enough to see and under $2K. (But I don't have the mad search skills you do.) I'd like something 3/4-1 ct. OMC, solitaire (or only with tiny sidestones), preferably platinum, size 8-8.5.

I am definitely willing to return it. I had one great experience with DZ, the rest have been okay but not fantastic. I have a few days to get back to them if I want to return it.

Here's what I finally ended up with, with Dreamer_D's help and inspiration!
