Help! Advice on asscher stone

P: 3/1/2008 2:29:39 AM
redeyed Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 3/1/2008 Member Since: 2/18/2008	Hey everyone, I recently found an asscher that fit my price range and am attempting to evaluate it for an engagement ring. Can anyone give any advice as to what they think? Here are the details: 1.74ct GIA cert. D color SI2 (white feather in corner - was told it would be covered by prong) 58% table 68% depth VG cut VG polish G symmetry I took simple photo of it and posted it here, but if you want me to do any specific shots of it, let me know and I'll try to get it. Keep in mind, that I am not looking for absolute quality of a VS1 or VS2, but am glad that this SI2 is in the corner and out of the table. The things I know my gf will focus on is mainly the fire and size. One question I have is: Are inclusions a concern with structural integrity? Any advice or criticisms is welcomed.

Sure you can put it near a prong but its still going to be visible and may be visible when the stone is tilted from the table. Why did it get a G in sym? The picture sux cant tell a thing from it.... woops just saw that you took the photo...lol put it between your fingers and snap a shot. ...........

I don't have a better photo of it since I personally have the stone until I decide what to do. I can take a different photo of it myself, but am not sure what lighting provides you the best view. Here is the inclusion snippet I cut from the GIA cert. I hope that helps.

Some people don't mind small visible inclusions or even large ones so that is something you will have too decide. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	looks like it could very well be a nice asscher cut wise. Are the patterns consitant and line up? pleasing too you? If you want too try another shot put the diamond between your ring and middle finger with your palm facing down and shoot it in the same lighting. (the diamond will be on the back of your fingers not the tips) ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	can see enough between the pics too say its well cut, the shadow from the camera and tilt makes it look kinda yucky but I can look around that. I bet it looks a lot better in person. Talk to ya laters..... ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

redeyed Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 3/1/2008 Member Since: 2/18/2008	I know you are off to bed...so thanks for staying up and dealing with this. :) Glad to hear you think it might be a decent cut as well. It really is hard for me to judge since I've only seen about 8 other options, but never at once. I can only tell when it is something truly impressive but much higher $$$. Thanks again storm..

The patterns look much nicer than that "good" for symmetry lead on. And it looks nice and bright. I like it, from the pics you've shown. How does it look to you?
