Another OEC question??

That's very shallow! Like very very shallow. Are you sure the number is correct? Do you have any photos?

Thanks Rhea....yes, they are correct. I copied and pasted from the sellers web site.

The measurements won't matter on a GOG stone because they should have ASET images...does this one have it?

I would not personally consider a stone with that depth.

no aset images, only the sarin report.

Might be a good pendant stone but not for a ring.

How odd, 40.5% total depth?! That is crazy. I too wondered if it's a mistake, but I guess it's not.

The picture of the stone actually looks good, but I just don't know what to think with that depth.

That's too shallow for me. I can't imagine that it preforms that well. I'm a huge fan of the later OEC's which are shallow, but can't imagine this one looking great.

What do you think of it? What type of stone are you looking for?

What do you want it for?

I'd consider it as a curio stone... but for an "important" piece, with those numbers and that girdle, I wouldn't give it a second thought - and I'm pretty forgiving of "outside the box proportions"

Here is a video of the stone.

Taylor - after watching that I have to change my vote, I wouldn't even consider it as a curio. It's completely dead in the centre, and that inclusion would drive me nuts

It looks better than I might expect for the proportions -- a 40% depth is.... well I have never seen a diamond so flat. But it looks glassy and has little light play. The inclusion seems fairly obvious for an SI1 as well. Its still not something I would choose. I suppose it all depends on what you want, though. I think people have pretty much said their opinions, but you might have different criteria for making the decision. If you opt to see it -- bargain significantly on the price.
