A lovely example of this always popular rarity. The gem is loupe clean, has been given a precision custom cut and has the most sought-after medium dark bodycolor - there is absolutely nothing at all to detract from this one; it is a gorgeous stone. Moreover, this stunner passes the benchmark one carat weight mark and has been given a precision cut that brings it visually close to being a round - there has always been a premium for these. These are so scarce now that prices have jumped considerably while demand continues unabated. With full GIA laboratory report.
