It looks ok but I would like to see the actual photo of the diamond if you have it please. There is a small amount of leakage but it might not be perceptible to the naked eye in reality.Date: 6/23/2009 10:17:43 AM

I don''t believe it''s tilted? I would have no real way of knowing however. Hmm...not sure what to do but I was told that it''s an eye clean 2.0 G-VS2. I asked for an ASET but they can''t get that for me.
lol! It was ringing a bell, I was about to go back and check then you reminded me! Thanks! From the photo I actually like this one, as you know it isn't cut to the absolute highest standards but it is a nice Princess nevertheless. If you don't want to consider the two from GOG, I seem to recall there weren't a lot of selections in your budget and specs so personally I see no reason to not consider this one.Date: 6/23/2009 12:36:27 PM

Hey Lorelei,
It's actually one that you had recommended before:

Yes, only in the opposite way, to me anyhow. So I agree with you all, I think it's probably just the pics, and it's a nice stone, just not super duper cut. Should be pretty!Date: 6/23/2009 12:36:24 PM

AD, is it this one?

...from this thread?
The stone looks tilted in the picture as well as the IS (if it is the same stone). Otherwise it may be showing asymmetrical leakage, in which case I would pass.
ETA: If the stone weren't tilted and the pictures were a true indication of the amount of leakage on the left side of the table, it most likely would not have gotten a 'very good' grade for symmetry. Therefore I really believe it's tilted in the picture (not sure about the IS). I think it's definitely worth getting to look at in person and decide for yourself within the return period!
You have researched, asked all the right questions and made an informed choice - so well done! I see no reason why it shouldn't be a pretty Princess, as we know not up to super duper louper standards but still much better cut than many you will see. If you get it please post pics when the ring is done!Date: 6/29/2009 11:56:48 AM
