researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	If it's a princess, you can do better. Look for a stone with the table smaller than the depth (3-5% smaller if possible). If you're really interested in this stone, make sure you get the crown and pavilion info (you want a crown of at least 10%) from a Sarin Report or other analysis. Also, if possible get an ideal scope image to examine the light leakage. if the stone you found is an exception to the rule (table smaller than depth rule) these tools will let you know. If you decide to keep looking, here's a stone that has SERIOUS potential to be a winner: Princess

The table is a bit higher than the depth. I would much prefer this stone, eventhough the BScope could be better (but I have to admit, I hate concentrated areas of dark e/t I know it's necessary...) Expect it to look a lot smaller than your stone http://www.goodoldgold.com/princess_1_04ct_h_vs2.htm http://www.goodoldgold.com/princess_1_04ct_h_vs2.htm ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough.

researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	John, You should check into the stones we posted--all of them--before making a decision. The various vendors (Mark at Engagement Rings Direct, Jonathan at GOG, and Denise at White Flash) will all provide you with all the information you need to made an educated decision. One thing you have to remember is you can sometimes see an inclusion in a VS1 and not in an SI1 (as MMM has taught us), or have a stone that shows more color than another. You therefore can't just go by the numbers.
