Need help on .90 carat

[masc23]

Hello all. Please let me know if this is an ok stone. From the GIA cert:

6.05 - 6.08 x 3.90 mm
Depth 64.3%
Table 57%
Slightly think to thick, faceted
culet - none
polish - good
symmetry - very good
clarity - vs2
color - H
Fluor - none

I am concered about the depth percentage and measurements. The very reputable local dealer I got it from said it is an ASG 1. It looks very beautiful. I paid $3450 for the stone. I have 10 days to deceide if I want it. Thanks for your opinions!

It''s really deep, huh?

It is pretty deep...some of that is in the thick girdle.......do you have any other measurements? What does it look like?

It is a deep cut stone and faces up like an ideal cut stone of a lighter weight. (approx 80-85 pts.)

You say it is beautiful and that is what matters.

I don''t know how good the price was. You can do a search here for comparable stones to get an idea.

I don''t have any other measurements. It does look very pretty but a bit small. I decided on a .90 ct because I wanted more of an ideal cut at a lower weight because of my budget. I was hoping it would look closer to a carat.

An ideal cut one carat stone should measure about 6.5 mms.

I have an ideal cut stone that weighs .96 and it measures 6.36-6.38 mms.

I have a deep cut stone that weighs .93 and it measures 6.0-6.1 mms.

Maybe you could ask your jewler to see if he/she could find you a stone with a larger "spread."

this stone looks too deep @ 64.3% ,you''re losing diameter,have you look at other stones?

On this site, you can find the AGS cut grades.....I don''t think a 64 depth is a class one cut ....you might want to look up that chart for the numbers, and speak to him about that claim.....(that it was a grade 1 cut , I think.....?)
