Stunning AVC for sale, I purchased it from DB/LT two months ago from a young Canadian guy the couple were upgrading. They went into GOG and handpicked the diamond about 2+ years ago. I purchased it to put it into a ring with a French Cut that is just over one carat that I own but unfortunately it doesn't work size wise next to it.

It seems a shame to have this sitting unworn in a cupboard, it was really cool to finally see a top cut AVC in person but I have to admit that I have no plans for it any time soon. It deserves to be loved and worn and it will look amazing in a ring, a pendant, a DBTY style bracelet or for any other project that a P/S member wants to save a bit off the price of a new one. They have gone up in price in the past couple of years so by purchasing preloved the saving works out to be around $1000.00 USD off the price of one with equivalent specs.

It is a a nice colour that ranges from a very slight antique lace (so a very pale tint to it) to quite a white face up in most conditions. I notice the colour but I am exceedingly colour sensitive and have looked at a large number of diamonds. It is never unpleasant colourwise to look at. The stone is in perfect condition, is 100% eye clean there are no chips or nicks, anything you can see on it is dust from my camera or dust on the stone.

I have all the original paperwork from GOG that went with it.

Cut: August Vintage Antique Cushion
Carat Weight: 0.99 carats
Colour: K
AGS Cut Grade: Ideal
AGS Light Performance: Ideal
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Fluorescence: None
Measures: 5.88 long x 5.69mm wide x 3.90mms in depth

Asking $4100.00 USD + $25.00 USD shipping fully registered and insured to the US.

Lovely! I'm pretty sure this will be snapped up in no time. :)
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Final call for anyone looking for an AVC, I am thinking of either consigning it or trading it for something else. This stone is mostly always white facing. Substantial saving. A stone with comparable specs currently at GOG - 1.00 N VS1;

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11112/

The price of the 1.00 N VS1 is $5278.00 so mine would have to be more than that because it is a much whiter looking stone. I believe you would be saving around $1200+ on this stone. It is in as new condition.

Happy to include free registered insured shipping and do some type of payment plan like JBG for another P/S member.

What a gorgeous stone :love:
My jewelry fund is unfortunately completely depleted. Sigh...
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Wow!
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Somebody really needs to snap this up! What a beautiful stone and great price.
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

I believe LoupeTroop is behaving badly as can sometimes be the case and some emails have gotten through to me others have not. If you have emailed me about this stone and have not heard back from me, please try again. Thank you.

Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi arkie! You're in Australia aren't you? Is the stone here or in USA?
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi Arkie, I've always been intrigued with AVC's, & that faceting face up looks really pretty, the aset looks great too. I keep checking to see if it is still here! :wavey:

Would you mind posting a few pics taken from the side, & also face down on white paper? I'm curious about the K color, face up it looks great, just wondering what various views look like relative to the K color grade. Thank you in advance!
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi, I am in Australia but we have these great insured packs that cost $24.95 fully registered and insured which is how I send things to the US for this value so that part isn't too much of a hassle, I am happy to pay all shipping costs for a P/S member to the US.

I can only get two of the pics to attach in this link if you would like to see some more photos I took a couple demonstrating the most colour I can get the stone to show and next to various metals, please email me if you would like these.

The stone is a lovely shape and very pretty, like all AVCs. Here is the most colour I can get it to show in a different part of my house next to a G/H band that will also possibly be for sale;

avc_colour_comparison_of_stone_no1_0.jpg

You can see at the very worst it is a creamy lace/ivory colour and at its best it looks clear;

So it has multiple personalities like most mid coloured stones, it ranges from quite white facing/clear to a creamy off white white - but it is never yellow, brown or ugly to look at in any way, if anything the cut of it hides the K colour. People keep emailing me that they think it should be in rose gold to play up the colour, this stone pops white against rose gold and it looks fairly white next to platinum or white gold. It's not like a N/O coloured stone it's more like a J.
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi again,
Im also in Australia. Its a gorgeous stone and I love the rose gold suggestion too. Ill have a chat to my hubby!!
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi Arkieb :wavey:

Could I ask for more information about the great insured packs that cost $24.95 fully registered and insured for jewelry of that value? Which company are they from? I am wanting to list some jewelry on loupetroop soon that is more than $1000. I would like to be able to send it to the US too.
Thank you!
 
Re: Gorgeous .99 K VS1 August Vintage Cushion for sale

Hi the mailbags are Registered Post International 500g prepaid bags. They start $24.95 - I think they give a certain amount of insurance and then you pay more for the rest (so on something worth $4000.00+) you might end up paying an extra $80 to $120.00 to fully insure to that amount. If it is worth up to $1000.00 (it could be more because they changed it recently) then you only pay the $24.95. You can insure up to $5000.00 and pay extra for signature confirmation etc.

For anyone wanting a diamond band, the band I have possibly for sale is a shared prong eternity band so diamonds ALL the way around it's very bright and just over 2.00 carats. Size 5.25 to a small 5.50. If you are interested feel free to contact me for full specs and much nicer photos. It's a stunning band, I am very fussy about what I own, the only reason I am considering selling is it does not go with any of my old cuts and I sold my larger modern cut rings long ago. I have been hanging onto the band trying to justify keeping it because it is so blingy and pretty but I never wear it anymore.
