I thought I should just start a new thread with this question. My new diamond to my eyes is perfect....so of course I have to put it through the Cut Advisor. Help? I put the GIA numbers in and it came back 0.7? I dont understand. I thought it started at 1? ~Karen |

Run it through the Cut Adviser and read all the explanations linked under the results for my opinion. Bad stone for person with good close up eyesight if it is for a ring. Also the thin girdle worries me if it is for a prong set ring Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT |

Yeah it is prong set in a six prong ring. I have it insured so I am not going to stress about it too much. I love the stone. This is the thrid diamond I have had. One was a trade up and the other was lost, this is the replacement to the lost diamond. I know just enough about diamonds to be paranoid LOL! Maybe I should just stop LOL! Thanks for your thoughts. ~Karen |

I suspect you did not go to Cut Adviser and did not read this warning http://diamonds.pricescope.com/ideal.asp Does the stone look dark when you examine it from very close? I find that when I explain that toi people older than 35 - 40 they actually prefer stones like yours. You have a diamond that is bigger than most 1.03ct diamonds and looks bigger than almost all 1.05ct diamonds for the price of a 0.97ct. But to be sure we would need to see an ideal-scope image Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT |

But to be sure we would need to see an ideal-scope image I see what you mean about it looking darker up very close. At a distance like sitting at a computer typing it is beautiful. How does one get an ideal scope image? ~Karen |

Shallow stones (lower left on the chart) look darker if you have excellent close up vision because your head obstructs more light sources which makes a shallow diamond appear darker. But shallow diamonds have a bigger spread, and are great for pendants and earrings, where normal social viewing distances apply. This is what my stone is doing? The larger spread is what makes the 0.97 look larger correct? When looking at the diamond up close my big ole head gets in the way and blocks the needed light, but when I pull the stone away into normal light it is fine. ~Karen |
