Seems to be a "fair" price. Maybe a little more looking with a table of 60% or less and a very good on the polish. May find this for a similar price or slightly more.

Hi alamo Have you read the PS knowledge section at the top of the page? That should help you determine what you should be looking for in a well-cut RB.

Something like this ERD .91 F SI2 for $3132 might be worth asking Mark for a sarin report...

...and this WF ACA would be just under $3200 w the PS discount .806 H SI1.

Good luck

The HCA chart below says that certain proportions (= combinations of crown and pavilion angles) work beautifully for the 59% depth & 62% table combination. The easiest way to know if that diamond in particular is a happy case would be to get and use one Ideal Scope, IMO. The other way would be to ask an appraiser's opinion while you can still return the diamond.

Thank you for the input ..... I am trying to find the biggest dimension diamond with the best eye catching qualities. I am plugging thins into the cut advisor on pricescope. I am worried that with all of this wonderful knowledge that I am getting to picky in my selection. I wanted to spend between $3000 - $3500 and would like to get near 6.4mm.

Thanks again

Chris

I looked around a little more & found this ERD stone similar to the stone you posted (tho crown/pav angles are missing - Mark could run a sarin) .92 G SI2.

Also, there's this WF "list" diamond - I don't normally post EGL stones but maybe WF would be able to check it out for you to make sure it's really a H & an eye-clean SI2 & run a sarin (I'm not sure if they do this w their list diamonds but it couldnt hurt to ask)? 1.03 H SI2. If you pay in cash & with the PS discount, it'd come to about $3550.
