What are the measurements of the stone, polish & symmetry? http://www.gemappraisers.com/chrt3.htm This is the cut grade chart for radiants. Retail for a 1.78 D VS2 radiant is $7,900 a carat according to http://www.diasource.com/fc170.htm . TheDiamondangel winkjones.com

I had looked at some with an IN on the girdle. That would have driven me nuts! All in all it seems like a great stone. I especially like the facet layout. I don't like the radiants with facets like princess cuts. Good luck! TheDiamondangel winkjones.com

MarryingMan Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 7/15/2003 Member Since: 7/9/2003	I'm sorry, I just have a few more questions for you - what is an indented natural and what do you mean by where it's located...? Are you talking about that fold on the cusp of the diamond...? Thanks much, I guess this diamond is a Class 2B Radiant...I'm just nervous that I'm overpaying here...do you think I could get more back for my buck? THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE ATTENTION, THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY GREAT SERVICE!

Charmed Cut Rock Total Posts: 112 Last Post: 7/10/2006 Member Since: 1/9/2003	If an indented natural is on the girdle of the diamond it can cause problems during setting which can result in chipping. My jeweler would't set my princess without going through polishing before setting due to the problems that can occur. My princess ended up losing carat weight and the squareness of the diamond. I would recommend checking the location of the indented natural and going from there. Plus, polishing is not cheap!!!!!!!! Good luck!

It looks as though the indented natural is right where the prong would go (if I am reading the plot correctly, the indented natural is bottom left corner). One of the experts can tell you if this is good or bad. May I ask why you have chosen a D color? An F is colorless. It will cost you less money...just my spin. Good luck.
