We're beginning to narrow down our search and any advice on this diamond would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Crown angle is a tiny tad larger than I'd like, but other than that this stone looks nice.

Well, duh me, but I can't find the crown and pav numbers???!    The GIA report doesn't show the whole document (at least not on my monitor ).

Anyway, what I can see looks good... just a suggestion, though... how about looking at SI stones?  You will likely be pleasantly surprised at how awesome they can look... and that'll let you get a little more SIZE! 


And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

I agree with Lynn B. I would maybe look at SI's...and then maybe consider a G or H color instead of I color.

Too shallow, it's causing some extra darkness.

It is hard for me to understand why they call that ideal and why I rarely send people to that site. The 40.2 pavilion angle is a problem as Julie pointed out. You want to see at least 40.6-41 on that number.  And 34-35 is usually best for crown angle. You want to see Excellent for cut on the GIA cert, too.  I like VS2 for sure, but I do prefer G-H color and up.




~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
