Diamonds

[ICantSpellDawg]

Here is the diamond I'm probably going to settle on, in a white gold setting with 4 tiered baguette side stones with similar color and clarity (tcw 3/8). The Carat, Table, Color and Clarity, Girdle, Culet and Flourescence are exactly what I was looking for.

Although the "very good" polish and symetry grades would probably only get a "good-very good" GIA rating, the determination that it is "premium cut" is helpful. The natural diamond type is IaAB, which I don't really care about because I'm not buying for investment and it can't be determined under any loop I've ever seen.

I know that the depth is just a bit too deep and that the cert is EGL, but I'm willing to make the compromise in the name of price. I was originally looking at GIA H color VS-2 stones and they were about $300-$400 more, so I will probably get a very similar stone.

Total price with setting I'm looking at is $5569, maybe the company I'm looking at will cut me a $100 break. Determining whether I should insure it as scheduled property on its own with State Farm for around $75 per year or Allstate (where I work) as scheduled property on a renters policy for a total of $169 per year (including coverage for my other stuff and liability) which would come with a multi-policy discount of 4% for my auto which would save me about $40 per year.

I think I'm just about over the finish line. I'll let everybody know when the thing is in my hands, my bank account closes and sweat starts pouring down my forehead.
