Below is a diamond that I currently have and purchased knowing nothing(clearly). The table is insanely big, but just how bad is the cut? I appreciate your thoughts. Round H SI2 6.43x6.38x3.83mm 1.01 carats Depth: 59.8% Table: 68.7% Girdle: Slightly Thick to Thick(Faceted) Culet: Medium Polish: G Symmetry: G Fluor: None

Kimberly Cut Rock Total Posts: 390 Last Post: 3/14/2006 Member Since: 2/25/2005	yeah I was gonna say that but did not have the courage. That big table will likely create a shallow crown angle and the pav angle would really stretch to compensate! Also for a round a better symmetry than a good is a must IMHO.

Well, almost every table & depth combination allows for some set of proportions that makes it look nice. Some likely proportions are pretty bad - you get a black hole in the middle (nail head). The nicest I can imagine fitting the numbers is a sort of mirror: a diamond that looks gassy unless there is some light source directed at it. Probably bright, but with no glitter (scintillation). Not everyone thinks this is a total disaster - if you look deep and wide enough you'd fins some unusual designer cuts that seek just this effect. Does your stone look anything like the ring below in any light? In-between, it is rather easy to get some pretty glaring fish eye. I like to guess this, but there is no way to know without some more detail about this particular diamond... Not sure if this helps, but this is interesting anyway And here's the picture of a reflector cut as I suspect your diamond might be. The pictures were taken with the diamonds in the shade looking 'dark'. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

Matatora Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,230 Last Post: 7/26/2006 Member Since: 3/6/2005	The table is quite large and your sym and polish are good and good, which is not great either. Do you already own this stone? Or is this one you are considering purchasing? -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

Kimberly Cut Rock Total Posts: 390 Last Post: 3/14/2006 Member Since: 2/25/2005	Well if you like it thats all that matters. My rocks not perfect but I like it-there are no agreed upon standards for it like rounds though. With rounds an excellent cut is easier to find. I am using the pricescope cut search features to find round studs and it is great! Does most the work for you!

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	I have to stop somewhere, perhaps. I can't tell how far in the woods this is without more detail, or just seeing it which there's no way to do... No reason to call it 'terrible' off the bat. If you like it, than there is really no reason at all. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

Dis Rough Rock Total Posts: 12 Last Post: 11/12/2005 Member Since: 10/27/2005	What's most important is whether or not you like it. I have a stone that is not ideally cut, but I really like the way it looks. It's beautiful and sparkly. No table of measurements can quatify that for me.
