Yes you can find shallower 1.5crt stone that will have similar spread as your 1.79 one. However, you also should consider other proportions and how the diamond looks (brilliance, scintillation, etc). Price is also an important factor :) There should be a difference in price per carat for the stone below and above 1.5 carat mark. Besides total depth, spread (diameter) also depends on relationship between table, crown, pavilion and girdle. E.g. you can have different spread for the same carat weight and total depth if crown is too thick or to shallow or girdle is thick or thin. Here is what I've got using Diamond Calculator for 1.79 princess (2A AGA cut grade): Measurements: 6.81 x 6.81 x 4.94 mm Table: 65% Total Depth: 72.5% Crown Angle: 33 degrees Crown Height: 10.9% Pavilion Angle: 40 degrees Pavilion Depth: 59.3% Girdle: Medium Culet: Pointed Pricescope

Next version will cost more - it'll allow to evaluate diamond performance (light return, leakage, contrast, etc) and import Sarin measurements for the real stones. Pricescope

Bonnie Rough Rock Total Posts: 5 Last Post: 3/7/2002 Member Since: 2/20/2002	So in your estimation based on the diamond calculator should the stone I have a deposit on be graded differently? Or should I say is it way overpriced? I have done so much research my head hurts. I feel like no matter how much research I have done I didn't do enough. Thanks for your response

buttercup Rough Rock Total Posts: 87 Last Post: 6/7/2002 Member Since: 2/19/2002	first of all, what's the table %? have you seen it with your own eyes? it is a sparkler? it's not that the diamond shouldn't be graded differently, it is what it is. i'd say pass on the stone only because why spend $7K on a stone that looks smaller than it is? http://www.gemappraisers.com/chrt4.htm how about this one from usacerteddiamonds: 1.78 G SI2 75% 76% GIA med-sl gd vg no 6.76x6.61x4.96 $7075 also a 2B cut grade base on table and depth (like the one you listed), and a lot more diamond for your eyes to see!

Bonnie Rough Rock Total Posts: 5 Last Post: 3/7/2002 Member Since: 2/20/2002	I have seen the stone. It is very beautiful. I am wating for the certification from GIA. When I get that, I will be determing if it is worth it or not. Thanks for the reply. I will keep that diamond in mind if this one does not work out.
