iamprincess Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 4/25/2008 Member Since: 4/25/2008	I am noticing some princess cut diamonds with off ratios. Is a diamond that is 1.10 ratio, a no-no for any particular reason? I am looking at a 2.25 princess diamond (dimensions, 7.85x7.13x4.87.) It has a depth of 68.3 % and a table of 65%. francine

Anything over that and it will be more of a rectangle shape. but it wouldn't affect the diamond's performance I don't think. Good luck!

ASET info here - http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=73949 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Of course, square doesn't doesn't guarantee you a best performance - you gotta have the right crown and pavilion angles, right # of pavilion chevrons, etc. Gary www.diamondexpert.com
