Hello All,

I new to this so I hope it works out!

I'm currently selling my loose Cushion Brilliant for $1,610.00 or 30% off what I originally paid for it. I don't know where I'm going to list it yet so I hope it's okay that I put this post up before I've made that decision. Chances are it'll be in Ebay under my husband's account (SirFolio1622- he sells/barters/buys fine/rare books as a hobby for himself). Ideally, it would be wonderful if I could sell it to someone in person as I live in the NYC area thereby cutting out shipping, insurance, commission fees, etc (a girl can dream!)

'I've included pics below. The stone is GIA Certified. I will also put up the GIA Certification once I get home tonight. The information I have thus far is as follows:

Carat Weight - 0.75. It is emerald or rectangular in shape
Color - I Color
Cut - Cushion Brilliant (with beautiful chunky facets, so no "crushed ice" here!)
Clarity - VS2
Fluorescence - Medium Fluorescence (ABSOLUTELY NO TRACE OF MILKY HAZE)

I'm open to negotiation (within reason please!) and am willing to take it to an individual appraiser or jeweler of your choice in Manhattan for inspection. It goes without saying of course that the jeweler would have to inspect it in front of me. :-)

probably list on DB since it's free. on ebay you have to pay 9% final value.

Hello All,

A couple of updates. I cross posted on Diamond Bistro. Please see the link directly below:

http://diamondbistro.com/category/215/Loose-natural-Diamonds/listings/27165/075-Cushion-(Brilliant)-Diamond-(GIA).html

Lastly, I'd rather not pay anything in extra fees through eBay, but I'm willing to take a wire transfer or even a check but it has to be cleared before I'll ship the diamond. I can also accept a PayPal payment.

I'm also selling some other items and if you're willing to take all of my items, I'll give an additional discount!

Lastly, the GIA Certificate number is 16323283.

Additionally, here are some more stats:

Measurements: 5.63 x 5.16 x 3.58
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
Date of GIA Report: October 8, 2007

Lastly, I took a picture of the reference diagram. Hope it comes out clearly enough for you to see how clean this diamond is.

Thanks,

Sheherizaad

I looked up a few comps, and a GIA certed .7ct I VS2 is priced anywhere from $1300-$1600 right now, and that is with a cut grade, and very good symmetry and polish. You might have better luck pricing it a bit lower since your cert doesn't have a cut grade and only good symmetry.

Thanks for your feedback Allie :)

When I searched for my stone a year ago, the market was flooded with Cushion mofied stones. So from my perspective, it was really hard to gauge just how much difference to pay. Plus, my stone hit the 0.75 mark which bumped it up a notch sadly on the pay scale. It is true that symmetry is only good, but there are no dead spots in the stone. I should probably do a video to really capture it's movement.

Also, a GIA report would never put a Cut grade for cushions (or any fancy shape), so it's really all about the individual stone and this stone has a lot of scintillation and brilliance. Lastly, although I happen to love more rectangular stones, the ones that are on the market right now are more rectangular than mine and are, from what I can ascertain are mostly "crushed ice" (modified).

So essentially, what I'm saying is, I'm going to stay firm on the price because I think my stone is the only one on the market right now that has a great middle ground. The large facets instead of crushed ice, I Color meets the threshold for many without paying a premium, and lastly the "face" up value is nice and large without compromising the brilliance. It would make a gorgeous ring or pendant..

Hopefully someone will love it as much as I do. And if they don't, then that's ok. Maybe it just means it's destined to remain with me. :)

Re: 0.75 Cushion (Brilliant) Diamond (GIA), I Color, VS2 Cla

Congratulations again! I knew it was a special stone but I didn't realize just how special it was. Mark from Egagement Rings direct said if it had a slightly smaller table, it wouldve been considered an OMC. I can't wait to see the finished product! He even knew the cutter based on his work!

He also examined my ring and complimented me on it. When I told him it was a Cushion Brilliant, he said that's what it said on the GIA but in fact, its also an antique stone! I nearly fainted from happiness...lol

As an aside, I got to see some of the beautiful stuff he was working on and they were absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to (in the future) buy my matching cushion earrings from him.

What a great guy!
