I saw this stone on www.diamondwholesale.cc. I've broadened my horizons as rounds seem a lot easier to find than OEC's w/ GIA cert. which I now understand is VERY important. Tell me what you think... .96 F Depth: 61.8 Table: 62 Lab: GIA Gdl: ? Culet: Small Sym: good Polish: good Flr: none meas.: 6.14 x 6.25 x 3.88 ONLY $2,999 NOTE: I want my diamond to look bigger big, the bigger the better, but well cut. Of these specs, which one(s) do you look at to see that you're getting a bigger looking diamond? My guess is smaller depth/larger table?? |

That table looks kinda big. A smaller depth will give you a larger spread and hence a bigger look. That stone is also a little out of round maybe. I'd go with a smaller table and a smaller depth.

What does "a little out of round" mean? A well-cut diamond? Acceptable depth 57-64? Table? 53-64? Do these numbers sound right? What's the "worst" cut, clarity, color any of you would go to for a round and still have a quality stone?

"Out of round", meaning lopsided. It is 6.14x6.25, that's over a millimeter out of round for a less than one carat stone. That would trouble me. That means it probably doesn't have very good symmetry. It sounds far from ideal cut for a round brilliant. I personally would stick to a table between 54 and 57. I personally would stick to a depth between 59.9 and 61.5. I personally would go for clarity of no less than VS2. Color doesn't matter so much to me.

Table's rather big. The standards for a RB are rather more stringent than the ones for an OEC. You can pass off the quirks of an OEC because it's an antique; with a RB you can only say it's cut poorly. BTW, did you say that you're giving up the OEC hunt because you're having a hard time finding one with a GIA cert? If that's the issue, I wouldn't worry about it. A GIA or AGS or HRD cert is important with a modern diamond, but it's hardly standard with an OEC. What you need is a vendor whose eye you can trust, an appraiser, and a good evaluation period.

If you want to go bigger go for a near colorless G/H SI stone with a better cut.
