Looks nice to me! But in order for me to give a fair answer, you need to ship it to me to wear for a few days...yknow, to test out.

It looks like the lab is GIA. It looks really nice though.

Do you guys think the table is too high?  What about the measurements?  Do any of you see anything wrong in the specs?

The ring is gorgous, just beautiful!

That said, the table is very large. And a very large table could affect the amount of brilliance and sparkle the diamond gives off . The diamond could very well still be beautiful because fancy shapes can't just be judged only by their numbers. In other words, sometimes a diamond could have so-so numbers and still be gorgous.

F/SI1 would have been 'good deal', F/VVS... is a bit more than that 

Now, there's no way for me to see the brilliance of this stone in a picture, but your account of it's IS signature look would help.  Here's what I am talking about: LINK.

Big table or not, everything about the cut has to 'work' together to deliver brilliance, so just one element doesn't tell me that much.

Congrats on the purchase!  First of all, and I'm not trying to be mean, but shouldn't you have asked us about the stone before you purchased it, if at all??

Anyway, with fancy cut diamonds, the most important thing is how it looks to your eye.  As others have mentioned, numbers on a piece of paper really aren't good indicators of how the diamond will look and perform.  Of course, it is important for you to know what an ideal diamond looks like before you can compare others.

Having said that, just by looking at the numbers, the table is large, I don't like how it is not square (although this obviously might not bother you at all, it is just a preference), and I don't like the very thin girdle.  Of course, it all depends where the very thin girdle is (i.e. you would not want the girdle to be very thin near any of the four corners on the diamond).

But, in the end, if it is good looking to you, then that is all that matters!
