depth question- shallow cut???

susiQ Rough Rock Total Posts: 37 Last Post: 12/28/2004 Member Since: 11/13/2004	I just purchased a diamond that is GIA cert and already set. I do not know the crown and pavillion #'s, which I now understand are very important in determining cut quality. I was wondering if there is a way to determine whether my diamond is a shallower cut or not based on its measurements. Also, is it assumed that if you are buying an ideal cut that it will not be shallow/deep? here's the info .84 ct VS1 H Ideal round, 6.09 x 6.14 x 3.69 mm, 57% table 60.3% depth, EX/EX, no fluor. thin to med. girdle culet-none I've tried comparing it to other .84 ct with about the same diameter on the web and thier depth measurements are closer to 3.75-3.85 mm. What difference will +/- 1 mm do to a diamond's appearance? can I run any tests on an already set diamond (for light return, cut quality, etc) or would I have to have it removed from its setting??? I'd appreciate anyone's input!!!!!

Assuming tho that it is an ideal H&A diamond, that price seems about right (what kind of setting came with it?). Don't worry about it being too shallow - as you can see from the AGA cut chart (LINK), you've nothing to worry about. _______________________________________ "any diamond given with love is a beautiful thing"

Before I found this forum, my BF and I built this ring on bluenile, so it is already set in a white gold cathedral setting (so too late to ask for sarin etc...) We have 30 days to return it, so I just want to get some opinions. It was listed as an ideal cut by bluenile....and we can see the arrows with our naked eye, however it seems to look a little dark when I look at it closely... is that normal? I was thinking maybe it was on the shallow side and that is what caused the darkness.

It was my impression that (and I say this without knowing crown and pav angles) that a 60.3% total depth and a 57% table were quite fine and fell within the AGS0 zone (at least for total depth and table). So I guess I am a little confused as to why you would think that the stone is shallow?

susiQ Rough Rock Total Posts: 37 Last Post: 12/28/2004 Member Since: 11/13/2004	I am a little confused too. Is it possible to have a table % Depth % combination within the AGS0 zone that results in a shallow(er) stone?
