wwmnb Rough Rock Total Posts: 16 Last Post: 1/20/2003 Member Since: 12/24/2002	I found the following stone at a quote of $9,000 1.27 carats F color VS2 6.68x6.91x4.34 56% table 62.9% depth It was shown to me as an "ideal cut," but I'm not sure if it really is. Does it seem to deep? And what about the fact that there is such a wide differentiation in the diameter sizes?

The difference between these measurement are significant. The depth of this diamond just slips above the AGS ideal maximum which is 62.8% depth. I believe that if you are looking for an ideal cut you could do much better with the measurements and price. Buy Informed! & Happy Holidays! Kirk

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,865 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	While I think the world of WhiteFlash ... can you show me this in AGS nomenclature? The reason I ask is because I've read as much as I believe there is to read regarding what constitutes the AGS "0" grade for cut and have NEVER seen this before. I can point you to AGS Reports themselves that say otherwise. That is why I was questioning your source. To my knowledge, insofar as proportions are concerned, the factors that make for ideal proportions I'll take directly from our site here ... http://www.goodoldgold.com/ideal_cut_diamonds.htm "The following chart is a breakdown of what makes the stone the proportion cut grade that it is.... Ideal cut. Grade of "0" crown angles 33.7° - 35.8° pavilion depth 42.2 - 43.8% table size 52.4 - 57.5% culet pointed or none, very small, small or medium girdle thin, medium or slightly thick" To my knowledge there is no mention of ideal total depth %. Peace, Rhino Rhino Good Old Gold
