Opinion on this Square H&A

antigoon Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 3/26/2006 Member Since: 3/18/2004	I'd like your comments on this diamond. Square cushion H&A (The link has H&A, sarin, brilliantscope results.) And the diamondcalc results are shown below. From the diamondcalc, H&A, and Brilliantscope results, it looks like a beauty to me. But I've become a bit of a nut for the numerical specs of diamonds. Which means I've only been studying round brilliants, because they are the most understood. So altough I really prefer a squarer shape, I'm scared about purchasing a fancy becuase it's not easy to compare measurements against known benchmarks. What do you think of this diamond? Is a depth of 71.6% too big? Should it be <=70% ? How would it compare to the best round brillant H&A? Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated by this nervous fiance-to-be. Thanks, Steve -- When I lived in Antwerp, I knew nothing about diamonds, and didn't need to. Now I'm far away and wish I had taken greater advantage. Oh well.

This one appears very bright - so the proportions are right from that point of view. It probably is smaller than a round of same weight, but that might be accounted for by the cost or... covered by your prefference for the square shape. The scale of the GemAdviser is the same for all shapes, so if that score reads "very good" it is top among all diamonds, not just squares. This should begin to answer the question "how does this compare with a round" Hope this helps Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

icelady Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,030 Last Post: 10/21/2006 Member Since: 11/25/2003	Geeze Strm! Bad day today? I did check the link and unless I missed it, I did not see a diagram measuring all the facets. There could be room for error. But, from what I have gathered about Good Old Gold, I am sure this stone is a great perfomer regardless. Antigoon, my concern would be with the feather that could be close enough to break through the surface at the girdle. Does it break through? I guess the question is have you seen the diamond with your own eyes, and if so, what did you think of it? You really have to see fancy stones and compare them yourself to find the one that you can't live without! I would think that the depth may enhance the scintillation rating it got, but again you have to see it for yourself to know if you love the stone. Good luck! icelady

Anybody else have any comments on the stone? Thanks, Steve -- When I lived in Antwerp, I knew nothing about diamonds, and didn't need to. Now I'm far away and wish I had taken greater advantage.

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	icelady, Looks good to me. Not as tight as the best of the best h&a rounds but well within the very good catagory. antigoon, As icelady said check on the inclusion. Otherwise it looks like a real nice example. AL, Good afternoon to you 2 :) ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K
