Hi,

Could anyone know what is a good diamond girdle grade when I look at the certificate?

Thanks Fortheloveofdiamonds.  What is the best to choose from?  Medium; thin-med; med-stk; or thin-stk?

The reason to choose one over the next is that thicker girdles eat up raw material that never shows - but then, many other factors add up to determine a dimamond's size so... why just look at girdle thickness separately ?

Also, lots of variation in girdle thickness (say, thin to slightly thick or worse) might hinder symmetry - but not necesarily. If this is the case or not depends on the girdle outline and the shape of the diamond - if there are corners there , then the girdle thickness must vary. And... so on.

What are the choices here ?

Edited to add: (never mind, saw the other thread!)
