Is this answer for the question below true? I saw a lot of H&A on WF and GOG stones have the table depths more than 61% and have excellent light return. I am confused and need help. Thanks
Q Thank you in advance for your feedback. I think you have an excellent site. Here is the specs on a diamond I''m considering and I would like your feedback on the Total dept. This info is from a AGSL report: Cut:000 Table: 56% Crown Angle: 34.6 Pavilion Angle: 40.9 CR. %: 15.3 Pav % 43.2 Total depth: 62.2 size: 6.56-6.59 x 4.08mm color F Clarity SI2 All the other measurements and angles seem to be almost perfect so how can the Total depth be so far from ideal? Is there an error on the report? Thanks Dan

A Hi DanB, Errors? Labs make plenty of mistakes. But it appears that this stones depth is too deep. With a total depth percentage exceeding 61%, the stone becomes a class IV and would only return a maximum of 32%-38% of the light that enters the stone compared to a well proportioned diamond at 88%-91%. Remember additional weight on the pavilion of the diamond equals more money in their pockets.
