ť 59.9% Total Depth?

59.9% Total Depth?

BluePea Rough Rock Total Posts: 51 Last Post: 2/13/2006 Member Since: 3/3/2005	Is 59.9% total depth too low? Would there be any potential negative implications for the visual performance of an otherwise well cut diamond - table 56%, crown angle 34, pavilion angle 40.6?

We are buying online, and this makes things more difficult, even though I like the fact that I can "browse" so many diamonds, something that I wouldn't be able to do at a b&m with limited stock. According to Jim at Dirt Cheap Diamonds, the ideal range for depth is 60.2% - 62.7% http://www.dirtcheapdiamonds.com/diamonds101.cfm

Garry H (Cut Nut) Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,582 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2000	the only thing is do not set it in a exposed girdle setting because the thin girdle is on the border of very thin and could chip. A rubbed in bezel or at least a 6 prong setting - never a 4 prong Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au

Regular Guy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,324 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2004	At the DCD website, the diamond is described as having a girdle of .9 - 1.9, and at the tutorial here, I read that thin is regarded as .6 (thanks, btw, for the other abbreviations included at the tutorial). Garry, if you're saying it's bordering on very thin, based on the depth, is there some discrepant info here?
