mercoledi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,667 Last Post: 10/5/2009 Member Since: 6/20/2006	I know that there are strict standards for cut for rounds, princesses, etc and some sort of new grading for asschers, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm considering one with a GIA cert and the following specs: GIA Feb. 2003 Shape..........Square cut emerald Measurements...6.86 x 6.72 x 4.28 mm Weight.........1.66 ct depth....63.7% table....76% girdle...medium cutlet...none finish.... good symmetry.. good clarity... VS1- feather color..... H I'm affraid it might be a little deep, but I just don't quite know what I should be looking for. Any opinions or advise would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! bleck some numbers: table - under 64 depth - 60-70 - most tend to run on the deeper side of that. crown height 10%+ some of the best today are in the 15% to 17% range. As square as possible - 1.04 ratio and under. From there get pictures: ASET prefered, regular pictures, IS images. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

From the pictures it's now obvious that the table is very large, but it creates a "falling into" feeling that I liked. Does the large table also mean less sparkle then? Thanks for the advice!

Yes that combo would have very little fire and since asschers arent as brilliant as some other cuts it really leaves them not performing that well. A high crown(10%+) is critical for fire in asschers and a huge table means it isnt. You can get the 10 miles deep look with a smaller table. ...........
