Ame: i was told from SA Tiffany diamonds all excellent in cut grade. Polish, symmetry have different range from good to excellent.

I'm sure they meant "excellent" as in fabulous, not as the official grade of Excellent. I looked at some Tiffany diamonds (and passed on shipping in many other diamonds at Tiffany) who's certificate clearly said "Very Good" for the Cut Precision. Also, I never saw the screens on these but my SA said she wasn't even notifying me about "Good" ones in their system because she knew I wouldn't be interested. I'm not sure how many were Good vs Excellent/Very Good; it may have just been a small percentage that somehow met the Tiffany standards based superior specs in other categories...

Here is more infor from my seller. She just sent me the pic of cert. As all I see is :
Cut and shape: round brilliant.
Dept:61.2%
Table:55%.
Color: H
Clarity: VS1.
Polish and symmetry: good.

I called Tiff the current price for similar diamond is 8270 plus tax.

She also say : round brilliant cut as same as excellent cut even polish and symmetry just good the diamond still fire and sparkle a lot. Is that true?

No, not true. Round brilliant is the Type of cut. Just like princess, oval, cushion, trilliant etc. It does not = excellent. Cut can be poor, fair, good, very good, excellent.

Can you post the picture of the cert?

Hello ame. Thank you for great information. Seller told me she will email me all of numbers on the Cert today when she get home. Yes, i am buying the ring from private seller. She is original owner of the ring since 1999. She sent me the pic but it focus to the ring more than the cert so I cant see any further infor except VS1. H color. Polish good, symymetry good.
I have another question may I ask? How different between cut grade is (good, very good, excellent) vs round brilliant?

Round Brilliant is a shape. Cut Grade is a quality. They're not the same. If it's Excellent or Ideal it will have the right angular cutting to ensure the best light return, fire, sparkle. Very Good and Good will have lesser lighter return, fire and sparkle. It could be the most ideal ideal cut ever and not look good to you. Just make sure if it's not really Tiffany or doesn't check out you can get your money back.

That's their sales pitch from my experience. They do sell some dogs that they pass off as excellent. It depends who deemed it excellent.

She is dead wrong. Round brilliant is a SHAPE. Cut is a quality. If the ANGLES and SYMMETRY are right, THEN it will have excellent fire and sparkle. Just because it's Tiffany, doesn't make it the best there is. They sell dogs too. That's all the cert says? Is there a number on the cert so you can verify it with Tiffany that it's legit? There should be more angles and percentages than that.

What if it doesn't check out as real? Can you return it? Are you paying via Paypal?

Op sometimes it is better to buy brand new from Tiffany and save yourself some trouble of authenticity, especially if price is ballpark same.

Tell her to take a px of certicate and send it to u via email. The specs she gave is not complete.

Hello everyone. Thank you so much for your all inputs. Here is some more information. I met the seller at Tiffany store this afternoon. (She is actually my friend's sister in law). The diamond look in person really good ( in nature light). The ring is Authentic and was just cleaned at there, too. The Tiffany's certificate is old style with leather cover outside. She said she never got GIA Cert. The receipt shown 7100 including tax.

acrowcounted, ame : you guy really really good . The current price I was told right in the store ( not over the phone by someone on Tiff's website) is $8600 plus tax.

I actually helping my brother by the ring for his fiance. He would like to save some money for something else coming up so he is looking for pre owned.
