I would be worried about buying an EGL-graded J color diamond, especially one that is not round, since it will show color even more. Do you like warmer color stones?

wow...i'm sure there's worse out there
but this ain't good!

a shallow (shallow) depth and big (huge) table will not make for a nice diamond.

i would probably be worried about the depth and table. It seems like a very spready stone with a flat crown. Also, with a EGL cert, you may be getting a something that is at best a J color and hopefully eye clean. Also, the girdle should be med or s.thick, a thin girdle is prone to chipping.
I think most princess folks around here would look for something with a depth and table around 73-75%. A crown height >10% is also important for light performance.

Hi guys,

I talked to Lynn at Union, and she said:

 "It faces up whiter than a J, and there are no flaws visible to the naked eye.  There are small ones when You look at it under a loupe but nothing without the loupe.  I would say it is an excellent J. " Lynn


I also had the guy at Jewelry zone look at it and he said it seems pretty good.....alittle big on the table size  like you guys said....but not too bad.  He said its not a skating rink :)

I really want a larger stone, but cant pay premium GIA specs.
I'm trying !!!!
