For the size, that price is more than fair! I'm guessing.. I2? I like the color and the inclusions in some pics aren't bad.  Which makes me think that it depends what angle you tilt it to determine the inclusions?

I say sell it! It'd make a great pendant! HUGE ONE at that!

It reminds me of a lemon-lime drop!  Makes me want to eat it!

Thinking about this now, if David decides to add it to the inventory, perhaps having a few setting suggestions would be helpful for a potential buyer. How would you all set this?

Not loving the brown gunk too much, but if you can set it in a way that makes them less obvious, it would be a steal!

Umm I`m not sure about this. I`m thinking it probably looks nicer in the flesh and this is one of those rare occasions where a photo hasn`t done it any justice.
If somebody`s looking for a BIG stone at a budget price then I suppose this could be it. At arms length the flaws wouldn`t be half so noticeable and I doubt anybody admiring it on a finger or from a distance would whip out a loupe and examine in great detail.
We have a saying here in the UK, " all fur coat and no knickers ", this could be a great chance for someone to have bling which looks oodles of dollars on the surface or for the size matters effect but underneath they`ve got the cheaper version.
At that price I`d set it then sell it and it`ll impress somebody somewhere.

Sorry, but me too. Not loving it at all.

See for me, I've seen some of your "Booger" stones sell like hot cakes.  I think the color will make up for the boogers... I'm not sure if this is the best stone for a ring, but for a pendant yes.  No one gets THAT close to someone's pendant (I hope not at least!)

DiamondLuvr bought (I think it was her) a Booger pendant, and it looked fantastic.

Maybe if we had more pics, that'd help?

To my mind DJM there is nothing wrong with offering a diamond like this one with full disclsoure.  Some people want a large stone and will tolerate inclusions while others won't.  David will talk about the issues this little guy has and say that if you are wanting something that is eye clean, this ain't it.  With those stores they weren't smart enough to know that wasn't what you were looking for, they only wanted to make a big profit on a crappy diamond.  I take issue when someone puts those stones forward as something other than what they are...  just my 2 cents.

It certainly has a personality all it's own.   It reminds me of KK's Oval MPD ring. (LOVE IT!)   For those who would love to own a 2.5ct + colored diamond and could never have the budget to do so,  I think it has alot of potential.   Don't forget that the picture is probably blown up to 100x.  
That said,   David can you post a picture of it at arms length or better yet,  A MOVIE??  Please.... I really think that would make some of you reconsider.   We know David certainly knows how to pick diamonds!!


 

That's another thing you gotta keep in mind.  The diamond on my end is about the size of my head! Imagine if my pores were enlarged!! Right?


Yes, exactly!

 I know exactly what both of you are saying.     I have to tell this story.  

When I worked in jewelry sales years ago, for the most part we sold some really nice diamonds.    It was not an upscale jewelry store nor was it a "maul" jewelers.    It had the mix of everything to cater to all budgets.    One lady came in to buy a 1carat diamond.    The sales girl showed her all kinds of beautiful diamonds at a nice budget.    The lady said she only had around $250 to spend.    Well, the salegirl pulled an almost rough cut diamond that was little over 1 carat and politely told her that this is the type of diamond she could get for that price, but it was not for sale.   It was only for "comparison" purposes.   Would you believe the lady insisted on purchasing that diamond?!!!   (Frozen spit didn't even describe how bad it was!)  She was not going to leave the store without it!!    Finally, the salegal practically gave it to her for nothing including the plain Tiffany setting.      Later on,   the owner of the store was rather mad at the salesgirl for selling that diamond...........
