Will this diamond completely lack sparkle?

[Elisep]

Hi all
My bf and I have put a deposit down on a diamond that I loved in the store and is graded triple X by GIA... E color... But the more I read on here the more I'm nervous about the proportions! The diamond is very bright (and I don't love the look of dark arrows at all)... But I do want it to sparkle a lot! The HCA score was only a 5... Can someone please chime in? I have pics but no idea how to post

1.62 Carat
Si2 clarity (eye clean)
Table: 59
Depth: 60.5
Crown angle: 32
Pavilion angle: 41.8
Culet: none

Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention it is si2 but eye clean and 1.62 carats (rb). Thanks!

Have you seen the diamond away from the store lights to see whether it still sparkles? Looking at the numbers, the crown is rather low and will not sparkle much unless under spotlights (aka jewellery store lights).

I took it outside but no other lighting than the jewelry store. It looked good outside too

What is the grade setter for the SI2 GIA grade? Have you compared this diamond to other diamonds that are HCA 2.0 and under?

Okay, got it - thanks for your help. I'm no expert so I think you mean the inclusion type listed first? It was crystal... I couldn't see them unless I looked under the loupe. Here are the pics (taken on my iPhone).. thanks again!

I think you can do better. I would take my time and look at some stones with better cut. Regardless of photos you have seen, well cut diamonds do not have black arrows. It would only appear that way in a photo if the camera was close and reflecting in the stone or something.

Here are some parameters that will land you closer to idea cut territory and a better HCA score:

table: 54-58

depth: 60-62.3

crown angle: 34-35.0

pavilion angle: 40.6-41.0

Love the diamond! Excellent choice!

Ah, this is akin to one of those controversial 60/60 diamonds (60% depth, 60% table). The advocates for the 60/60 diamonds claim the big table opens up the bright middle of the diamond, and is a bit spreadier for the weight.

For what it's worth it looks like a very bright stone with great finger coverage for the carat size (looks like a two carat diamond easily).

I have two 60/60 diamonds with HCA under 2 and good light return via idealscope. You can do better if the HCA is a 5. Although, in pics, it does look pretty good!
