I need some advice from all you pros out there.... Princess 1.97 carat D/SI1 Good Polish/Good Symmetry Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick Depth: 73.7% Table: 72% 7.80x6.51x4.80 mm Flor: NONE Price: $10,800.00 Is this a good deal? I understand this is rectangular and that's OK, but does this take away a great deal from its brilliance?  Thanks in advance for your input--I appreciate any help--as a first time diamond buyer, this stuff can be pretty confusing (but I have done my homework....)

Oops--I forgot to add that this stone is a GIA Cert. stone and that it is for an engagement ring  ; Incidentally, is a rect. princess cut hard to find a nice setting for since it is, well, a rectangle?

Hi Malonty, Yes, you did your homework Proportions above looks quite all right and price is reasonable.Basically, proportions of the fancy diamond are the matter of personal preference. The market values square princess over the rectangle. Theoretically, higher symmetry gives you better chance to get higher light return. However, you should compare stone to stone because light return also depends on other proportions and itself doesn't equals to the human perception of the brilliance :) I'm afraid, not much more could be add bases only on the numbers above. For in-depth analysis you have to employ expert appraiser... Pricescope |

Princess cuts and fancies in general need to be looked at rather than solely going on the specs. As a general rule lower table/depth percentages in Princess-cuts will result in "better" looking stones and squares with these numbers will "look" better than their rectangular counter-parts in that it is easier for the cutter to align the facets properly for maximum light out-put. The best advice is for you to examine several princess cuts in similar color/clarity combinations and see which one appeals to you the most. Barry www.superbcert.com "When Good Isn't Good Enough"
