Help! Transitional Cut Diamond? Pics attached! Good buy?

[moomie14]

Hello All. I've been reading for weeks on these boards about vintage diamonds. I was looking for a large OEC when I ran across this stone. Does anyone know what it is? GIA just says round brilliant. Also, any thoughts on the specs:

1.72 J, VS2
8.05 x 8.16 x 4.36
VG polish and symmetry
Say Fair for cut...but maybe that's because Gia doesn't grade for antique cuts?

The full specs in second picture. Anyone have any thoughts to help me? The stone is approx. 10k

Wondering specifically if too shallow?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone??

I'd try asking in RockyTalky to get more opinions.
I can't tell much from the image posted...do you have others, or a video, or better yet have you seen the diamond in person??

Looks like a tranny to me! Though seems really shallow, which concerns me. Shallow stones can be hit or miss. I've had some shallow stones come through that I adore, but none I can recall which are quite this shallow...

I don't think this has much promise based on both the stats and picture.

I think the price is too high for that shallow of stone but you would have to see it in person. I think for that price you can find a deeper stone that faces up 8mm. If you go on the Rocky Talk forum they will help you find the best OEC or transitional which ever cut you like best.

Good luck in your search.
