[QUOTE="Paul Maurer 2, post: 724316, member: 55824"] I have purchased about $50k of jewelry on Ebay in the last 5 years and I think you did OK. The appraisal is not from a recognized authority like GIA, but thats only important for individual diamonds of one carat or larger. Typically, appraisals like yours or EGL grade diamonds about one or two grades better than actual-ie their "E" diamond is actually a G-H, and their clarity grade of VVS is actually VS1 or VS2. When you get it, if you can see dark inclusions in the stones with your naked eye- thats an I1 or worse and you have been had. Judging by the seller's feedback, thats highly unlikely. If you take it to a local jeweler he may "diss" it, but thats because he didn't sell it. Congratulations!:cool: [/QUOTE]
