When the report mentions something "not shown" it is usually that the aspect of the diamond was noticed on inspection and grading under 10x magnification, but is not so apparent as to effect the grades and is not plotted on the inclusion map, so is only mentioned for the sake of completeness. &... |

Probably not. Numbers don''t tell the whole story with princess and other fancy shapes, but that combination has a very low chance of producing a nice stone. |

As a general rule, keep the side stones within 2 color grades of the the center so you will be fine. |

Nope, not too deep--the angles are the critical part and you are OK there. The very small culet will not be noticeable in live viewing. The extra facet depends on where it is, but usually are not visible either. |

Agree with SC that #1 would be the best of these three. #3 is pretty decent, but not quite as nice and #2 is a definite pass. |

Looks like a very nice princess. Probably not quite up to the level of the premium branded cuts, but very nice. As far as center vs. side stones the general rule is to stay within 2 color grades, so for an E center, G color sides would be fine. |

A natural is a piece of the original rough "skin" that did not get polished off the diamond. An indented natural means that this piece is slightly below the surrouding polished surface. Ask the vendor who has the diamond to evaluate it for you--location and eye-clean. At VS2 clarit... |

The setting is lovely. Very classic and will never be out of style. When looking at a the diamond in person, make sure to get it out of the display lighting into more realistic everyday situations, such as daylight and fluorescent. A great way to separate a really well cut, top performin... |

Would need an ASET image to really determine cut quality, but there are no red flags in anything you have posted. |

The only issue I have with the cut of Tiffany diamonds is that they are often overly deep, but that is not the case here--this one has excellent numbers. The reason for the question was to see whether color and clarity grading was in line with GIA & AGS. I'm not totally sur... |
