Princess Cut Diamond - is this a Good Deal?

[greco10]

Hi Guys,

I walked into my local jeweler last week and looked at a the following Princess Cut diamond for $12,800:

D - Color
1.58 - Carats
Clarity - IF
Polish - VG
Symmetry - GD
FL - None
CU - None
Girdle - STHK
Depth - 75.4%
Table - 77%
Measurements - 6.67 x 6.22 x 4.69

The price looks great...? I am a little disappointed in the Summetry and the measurments (slighlty rectangular). How do I detrmine Cut Grade - the GIA Report doesn''t reflect Cut Grade - I suspect this needs to be interpretd through Finish and Proporations...?

Please provide me with any insights realtive to cut grade and overall value. Also, do the measurements and the fact that the stone is labeled as a Rectangular Modified Brilliant as opposed to a Square Modified Brilliant devalue the stone?

Thanks.

you are paying for the "d" and "if" grading, you could save significant $$ and get a better cut stone with something else.
www.gemappraisers.com has an AGA cut grading and rules section that can guide you as far as cut for all shapes.
