After noticing the topics about "steep deep," I''d like to find out more about my diamond.
The specs are:
1.31 carat, F VS1

6.96 x 7.00 x 4.33 mm
Depth: 62.0%
Table size 57.0%
Crown angle 35.5 degrees
Crown height 15.5%
Pavilion angle: 40.8 degrees
Pavilion depth: 43.0%
star length: 50%
lower half: 80%
girdle: medium to slight thick


It sparkles really well, but the cut adviser gives it 2.7. Most people do find it a fireball. In some light settings however, I do notice the middle darkens and I don''t know if it''s just reflections, different lighting, or if it doesn''t have optimal light return. Maybe I just have too much PS knowledge and I''m panicking over a minor issue!

I''m going to reset the diamond using BGD, and if it really is steep deep or something else, I''d like to know whether it''s worth looking into a recut. Unfortunately, I do not have any idealscope pictures.
