Newbie needs help with stone specs

[Spiff9]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to the forum and would appreciate any help that i can get. I recently picked out a stone but am a little concerned about the proportions. I was hoping that either my concerns will be eliminated or confirmed before I make the final decision.

My concerns are with the girdle being so thin (the salesman said "It would really have to be smashed in order to chip") and that it may be cut too shallow. It performed well in the HCA however, it was borderline a stone for earrings and pendants (i''m looking to set it in a ring).

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!


Here are the specs:

Round Stone GIA CERT

Measurements: 6.41-6.45x3.79
Carat Weight: 9.2
Color: H
Clarity: VS1
Girdle: Extremely Thin to Thin, Faceted

Depth: 58.9%
Table: 56%
Crown Angle: 31.5
Pavillion Angle: 40.8
Culet: NONE

hey nn

welcome to ps!

i believe your concerns are valid. if you are seriously interested in this diamond, i would suggest having it checked by an independent appraiser. you need to find out how much of that girdle is ''extremely thin''.

Run the price by doing a pricescope search for similar diamonds. Many of them will be of better cut. See how it competes for asking price and cut quality. It seems a little on the shallow side.
