Thoughts on this diamond?

[thisisjohnny]

Hello Everyone. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon this site. Being new here, I hope it's not too much to ask if I could get a second opinion on this quote.

GIA 1.97ct I VS2, VG Cut, VG Symmetry, G Polish, No Fluorescence. I think it's about 8.28 x 8.29 x (i don't recall the height) with a small culet.

HCA Score of 2.3 with 57.3 Depth, 63 Table, 32 Crown Angle, 41 Pavilion Angle.

Visually, the diamond is very pleasant to look at.

The inclusions are two pin points under one of the crown facets (prong hide-able) and a short feather under one of the lower half girdle facets.

When viewed under the ideal-scope, it showed really good light return with plenty of darker pink, and very little light leakage. I realize it can't be H&A, but it did show some of the formation that looked like arrows when viewed table up.

The stone is from a local jeweler that has quoted me 15K for the diamond.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Numbers could work. What is the girdle variation?

ditto, must be a bright stone

Hi, I don't recall the girdle variance. How might this affect diamond performance? I am going back to look at the stone on Monday. Anything else I should be looking out for?

Look at the stone in various lighting conditions as store lighting makes all stones look bright and sparkly. This stone sounds great, make sure you like how it looks in all circuimstances.

Girdle variation is thin to medium.

Actual measurements are: 8.25 x 8.33 x 4.75 mm

It looks like Rap Sheet price is 7200 / ct for 1.50 - 1.99 ct with a 7-12% premium for stones in 1.70 - 1.99 range.
and Rap sheet price is 9700 / ct for 2.00 - 2.99 ct...

at $15K for 1.97 that works out to 7614 / ct. That's 2% discount on the low end of the rap sheet (7200 / ct x 7% premium = 7704 / ct), a 6% discount on the high end of the rap sheet (7200 / ct x 12% premium = 8064), or 18 back if it's being priced as a 2 ct diamond...
