 		I'm lost in an information wilderness and I'm sending a flare up.

Here's a stone I've found at Abazias
Princess
Rect Mod Brilliant
4.45 x 4.21 x 3.36
0.51cts
Depth 79.8 %
Table 79%
Girdle- Med-Thick
Culet- none
Polish- ex
Symm- vg
VS2- cloud, crystals
F
no flouro

$1128

My question is when does the depth/table get too big.
I've read that with a deeper stone you can get a bit more brilliance in RBs, but what about the square.

GF does not want a big stone, likes the E-ring Grandma had. But I want a really shiny and 'purty' rock,
cause you know how guys like shiny 'purty' things...

Thanks for your input
Ron

 		Princesses tend to look better when they are square- Length to width ration below 1:1.05. Your stone has a ratio just over this.

You should look at www.gemappraisers.com, as Dave Atlas has put together a great cut assessment tool for princesses.

The general rules however are:

Table should be less than the depth- ideally less than 70% or so.
Depth should be less than 75%, and less than 70% if possible.
Crown height- greater than 8%, ideally between 10 and 14%.
