Hi all, Thank you so much to all for wisdom on diamonds. Your forum taught me A LOT. I am looking into a stone with a .07 - 1.0 girdle. I think it means thin. I am worried about setting and chipping. Should I be? And also what kind of setting would you recommend for such a girdle. Thanks.

The thickness designation will depend on the Grading Lab. Here's a link with info for you: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=13239
Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! |

thank you. most helpful. while i was reading obsessively about my thin girdle, someone in the forum said a wise thing. "there is no perfect diamond, just a perfect girl." that ended my obsession. thanks again.

Do you all have at least a professional understanding of the Diamond Biz? I think I'm looking in...

---------------- There is a "Who's who" forum that may help you with this. You can easily 'discover' the professionals here by looking at 'profiles' data of the more active posters (you can sort the list of PS members by number of posts for this trick) Very open society here ![]() Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

There are no guarentees that a girdle will or will not chip weither it is thin or thick. Diamonds are very brittle and you can have a ideal cut stone that is IF and if you hit it right it will chip (they are hard not tough). The worst size girdle is a knife edge, the girdle comes to a point. 0.7 to 1.0 is acceptable thickness. I'd set it in 6 prong platinum. |
