I was wondering if it's possible to have a beautiful diamond that has numbers that are very off from ideal. My jeweler told me about a 1.89 carat, I, VS1 with a 49% table and 59% depth. That all the number I have at this time. He said it was stunning and I should definitely come see it. Is it worth taking a look? Could a diamond with such a small table really be that beautiful?

It could be a stunning diamond. Maybe it won''t match the light perfromance of some other diamond, but it will probably have its own unique look and character. That might appeal to you. What harm is there in looking? Compare it to a more standard cut and see if you appreciate the differences.

I agree with David no harm in going to have a look at it. The diamond that I got for my pendant has numbers that are a bit off too, and it''s a beautiful stone. I looked at the numbers after I saw the diamond loose and was really surprised at how beautiful the stone was.

Thanks! I''ll go take a look tomorrow. You''re right, it can''t hurt. Since it''s for an e-ring, and I don''t ever plan on upgrading, I just want to make sure I get a stone that I will love for years to come. I''m wary of stones with off numbers, because I don''t want to sacrifice quality for size. I wish every stone came with brilliance scope and ideal scope reports...that would help so much. I''ll let you guys know how it looks...thanks again!

I actually stopped by today...and what he forgot to tell me over the phone was that it was an OEC...which is why the table is so small. And yes, it''s gorgeous! Wow. I love OECs!

Thanks for your help!
