This is what the industry calls a "Collection Quality" or "Investment Grade" stone. By hitting the 1.50-carat mark with the absolute top tier of color (D) and near-perfect clarity (VVS1), you are looking at the top 1% of all natural diamonds. D Color: This is the highest possible color grade. It is chemically pure and perfectly colorless. In a pear shape, this is particularly valuable because there is zero risk of the "point" or "tip" showing any yellow tint. It will look like a drop of frozen water. VVS1 Clarity: This stands for Very, Very Slightly Included. The inclusions are so tiny that even a GIA gemologist often needs a microscope to find them. It is essentially flawless to the human eye. 1.50 Carat: This is a "magic" weight. It carries significantly more prestige (and cost) than a 1.49ct stone. GIA Certified: For a D-VVS1 stone, GIA is the only certificate that carries full market authority. Setting Suggestion: A stone of this caliber belongs in Platinum. Using Yellow Gold would "stain" the D color with reflected yellow light, defeating the purpose of paying for a D-grade stone. Is this for a classic solitaire, or are you considering side stones (like tapered baguettes) to frame it Important Information for Buyers: 1. Customs and Import Fees: ○ Your country of residence may impose additional customs and import fees. These fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. ○ The VAT is not included in the price of the stone as it depends on your country’s laws. ○ How to pay VAT? You will pay the VAT directly to the courier company upon delivery. 2. Country-Specific Information: ○ France & Portugal: French and Portuguese customs will only clear imported loose diamonds (gemstones) if they are handled by a local customs broker. The broker fee is not included in the price of the lot, and it will need to be paid separately. ○ Belgium: To import loose diamonds into Belgium, you must have a license and be registered at the Diamond Office. 2. Cancellation/Withdrawal by the Winning Bidder: ○ In case of a return, VAT, shipping fees, and customs fees will not be refunded. The buyer will be responsible for all costs incurred during the return shipment.
